    What lights to take to Europe?

    Similarly to you, doing Europe for 2 weeks .. second time this year. My go-to as far as lighting goes is a Malkoff hound dog 18650 head on a 21700 body, with a spare 21700 in a cell protector. My 2nd light is an HDS rotary - NB 40, 200 lumen. With 4 extra extra cells in a cell protector. I...

    Knife Sharpening - Going next level !

    I used to go DEEP down the rabbit hole with sharpening. I've used the wicked edge guided system for over a decade at this point. Must have sharpened 500 knives on it by now if I had to guess. It's great. With that said, generally nowadays the only knives I really find myself having to sharpen...

    team olight or fenix?

    So, if I had to choose between those two companies, it would be Fenix without question. I have several Fenix lights that have been in my collection for many years and are still going strong. With that said I don't really reach for them often or at all. They are usually the light/s I've lent...

    HDS around the World (PICS)

    I do a good bit of traveling and figured I should probably start taking some pics of my HDS while I’m on my trips since it’s always with me. Started this particular trip in London, then to Inverness (Scottish highlands), from there went and spent some time in Edinburgh to see the castle that...

    The Grammys 2025

    Was quite happy I elected not to watch that mock of a show when I found this out. Still hurts my brain and makes zero sense that she won that...

    It's beyond sad that you are 100% right.

    Why no posting in section “Politics Religion…?”

    Feel like people in general are unable to hold a conversation with one another about anything remotely even related to politics without it becoming a heated debate / screaming at one another and ultimately ending disastrously for everybody involved with nobody any wiser and nothing at all...

    OEM LED Lamps why are they so bad?

    Man, I have a 2017 laredo Jeep Grand Cherokee and my headlight since the day I bought the Jeep back in late 2016 has been my one and only gripe about the Jeep I have. I love everything about it and intend on keeping it for many years to come. With that said, If I could have better headlights...

    Sharpening: by hand or power?

    I've been sharpening my knives for probably 15 years now... Not just mine but my families and friends when needed. At one point word got out and my neighbors started bringing them over and then it spread a bit further and was able to make some spare pocket change with it. If memory serves it was...

    New surefire dominator released

    Just googled this light, never seen it before... That is one cool looking light! -- I also like the fact it runs on 2x 21700 cells I found some runtime charts online for this light... Quite impressive! I must say.... Not sure how I've never heard of this light before. Granted the surefire...

    New surefire dominator released

    ah, that's a good catch. I wonder what other cells it can run on… also if it'd be at reduced output / runtime and if so - how drastic of a change from the initial battery pack… I hate how companies leave these things unknown… but they shove the 4400 lumens and 350k cd in your face … it's...

    New surefire dominator released

    Interesting, didn’t know that was an issue with a company such as SF. I don’t like custom battery pack flashlights as I like to stock up on batteries…. So they can be used in other flashlights … Not too appealing to buy a custom battery for $$$ and only be able to use it with 1 light.

    New surefire dominator released

    Hey guys, What are your thoughts on this light? 4,400 lumens , 350k candela A whopping $1,600! Off the bat, that price seems down right ridiculous. Also, no runtime graph to see how well it sustains that type out output. Which is unfortunate. Granted I'd love to try one out, don't think...

    Talk to me about Microtech OTF knives.

    1) Unless your a highly trained ninja, in the event your in a situation that your LIFE literally was at stake, I think you'd find pulling an OTF (or any knife for that matter) out of your pocket and being able to deploy the blade before whatever threat that existed would have gotten to you first...

    Talk to me about Microtech OTF knives.

    Not a huge fan of OTF's in general. I have owned a good number of them, and never came away with great results / confidence that they will be as durable as companies lead people to believe. I currently still own (1) OTF ... Microtech Combat Trodon, one of the older ones with camo handle...

    Streamlight ProTac HL6

    I was able to find a test on a website for the HL6 It was actually quite impressive. at turn on up to 35 seconds, it sustained 5k+ lumens. then from there it slowly dropped to 4k lumens by the 4 minute mark. then from there it slowly dropped to 3k lumens by the 7 minute mark. then finally...

    Streamlight ProTac HL6

    Yeah I was actually thinking about the HL5 as I have a large amount of 18650’s stocked up. But i havnt seen any runtime charts / so im not sure how the output charts are. But they are both too big to EDC so they are going to both fill the same role… and be a bag light / truck light ect… so i...

    Streamlight ProTac HL6

    https://1lumen.com/review/streamlight-protac-hl6/ There are some great charts found in the review… I am so tempted to buy one of these lights! It sustains such a high output for such a long time it’s wild… extremely tempted once I found the review with the runtime charts! Then again I don’t...
