  • In this week’s episode of Gearing Up, I’m covering a mixed bag of topics. From my latest fixed blade, to knife show updates and my latest EDC thing - the ‘go pouch’.

    The go pouch is all about convenience and removing friction from my life. It’s stressful enough getting out the door with three kids, so the go pouch helps me get out a bit quicker. Let me know what you think! Have you tried this approach to edc pouches?

  • On this week’s episode of Gearing Up, we’re trying something a bit different. I’ve wanted to add video to the show for quite a while, and I finally got tired of sitting around and waiting. I think I’ve got most of the bugs worked out, and now you’ll be able to watch my dumb face as you listen to the show!

    Check out BladeShowTexas.com for info on the show and to get tickets.


    A few things about the video:
    - I realized after recording that the glare on my glasses was extremely distracting. I am fixing that for next time.
    - I’m distracted quite a bit during this episode because of the video and constantly checking to make sure I’m in frame/focus.
    - This episode did NOT need video, but I wanted to upload it anyways so I can test everything out.

  • This episode is going to be a little different. Instead of talking about knives and other gear, I’m going to talk about my new home office. I talk about the project and some of the upgrades I’ve made, and how that’s going to help recording the show.

  • In this episode I’m breaking down the three knives that captured my attention for the better half of 2023. I spend a ton of time talking about the one that has surprised me the most and earned the most pocket time lately.

    Let me know what your go-to has been lately. What knife in your collection regained some popularity with you after you carried it for a bit?

  • In this weeks episode, we’re talking about goals and what I’ve got planned for the podcast this year. I’m also joined by Sam (@Raven_The_Pirate) to talk about his series of reels he has been posting carrying a different knife every single day. Sam and I talk about the creative process, the challenges of keeping things fresh, and the unexpected things that come from being creative and just having fun.

  • In this episode of Gearing Up we’re talking about everything I think we will see in the EDC world in 2024. This might be more of a wish list, but we definitely talk predictions.

    I also give a bit of an update on life, and the podcast, as well as what to expect in 2024 from the pod.

  • In this weeks episode of Gearing Up, we’re talking about how I record the podcast. I take you guys through all of the gear that I use and all of the things that make the show work as well as some of the work I’ve put in to streamline this process as much as possible from the recording device to the software to the microphone and I host a cover at all in this episode. It’s not really an EDC episode, but it’s still something that I use pretty regularly. I figured it would be fun to walk through the tools that I use in the process and maybe it just might inspire other folks to start a podcast if it’s something they’re interested in doing.

  • In this weeks episode of the podcast, I’m going through all the reasons why you should not use your knife to pry things. We’re gonna talk about all of the reasons I carry a prybar every day and why I think you should give it a shot if you’re not already on team prybar.

    In this episode, we talk about some of my favorite makers and some of the reasons why I like my favorite prybars.

  • This episode of Gearing Up is all about carrying a Backup Blade - why I carry one, how I decide what knife will be today’s backup, and some of the problems that a second knife solves for me.

    Do you carry more than one blade? If so, why? How do you decide what knife to carry as a backup? If not - what do you think about the idea of carrying multiple blades? Overkill?

  • I sincerely hope that this episode doesn’t come off as too negative. I couldn’t shake the feeling that I needed to talk about this. At the end of the day, I think we should be spending time lifting one another up - not criticizing content creators that you don’t agree with.

    I had another episode scheduled, but I decided to push it back to make room for this last-minute recording. I saw a video posted on Taylor’s (Best Damn EDC) Instagram that was about a creator calling him out for being bad for EDC.

    Obvious problems with the clip/video aside, I watched the video that it came from and it left me with some thoughts. After sleeping on it, I couldn’t get it off my mind.

    Instead of calling someone bad for the community - open a dialogue. Send them a message. Let’s all work together to keep the community positive and growing.

    And if you have any thoughts on my thoughts ——- shoot me a message! Let’s chat.

  • In this episode of Gearing Up, we’re taking a look a some of the essentials that rarely get the spotlight. We’ve all got these must-have EDC items that get tucked away and almost forgotten about until they’re needed - then we’re so glad that they are there for us!

    My list looks something like this:

    Tide To Go Pen
    Apple AirPods Pro
    NiteIze G-Series Carabiner
    Funky Forage Industries Gear Grid
    Soul Built MarkSmith - Bolt Action Permanent Marker

  • In this episode of Gearing Up, we’re talking about slimming down the carry and making conscious decisions about what goes in my EDC bag.

    I wanted to find a way to purposefully carry less and use the bag space that I had more efficiently. Of course, a huge shout out to TomToc for sending over their Explorer Crossbody Sling Bag for me to check out. The bag has taken over my EDC when I need to get out of the house. I especially love the minimal design and nice little details throughout the interior pockets.

    Be sure to check it out if you’re in the market for a new bag and want to take some practical steps to carrying less, but more effectively…..if that makes sense haha
