    What pants do you prefer for adventuring, questing, or even edw?

    That $25 price point makes it tough. Nice thing is though that a lot of the brands mentioned here will last for years and years with a little care. Personally (in no particular order); 5.11 TacLite, Propper Lightweight Tacitcal Pants, Dockers Comfort Cargo D3 Classic-Fit Flat-Front Pant (these...

    *NEW* Nitecore EC21

    Well I bought one and loved it initially, but I am sad to report that it seems to have died on me. I used to lockout function one day before putting it in my bag and it has never turned back on. I have tried different batteries, rechargeables vs. primaries, etc, but it just won't do anything at all.

    *NEW* Nitecore EC21

    Interesting... Lots of good features there but I am not sure about the switch location. I just officially added one to my Christmas wish list!

    Why do I keep hearing AAA lights being unreliable?

    I have had several (County Comm, Fenix E01 and E05) wear out on me (circuits died, contacts worn through) after years of daily keyring / pocket carry and use, but they were perfectly reliable up until they died. A lot of people around here (South Louisiana) that aren't really tuned in to...

    Pocket size EDC

    For years for me it had been a been a Surefire E1B with Scout tailcap and a County Comm AAA on my keyring with sometimes adding a Fenix E05 in my pocket as a work light. Recently the County Comm and E05 both died on me and I ended up replacing the pair of the with a Fenix E05SS (stainless steel...

    What watch you're wearing?

    I am working the yard today, so the $15 Fossil Designated-Beater. This evening I will probably switch to my Monster.

    What knife/knives do you EDC?

    These are my usual EDC / work knives; Spyderco Manbug, Spyderco Yojimbo 2, Victorinox Trailblazer (I think) and an old flat little Camillus. About as often as not I carry my Scibeer custom Abrasive Yo-Man instead of the Trailblazer.

    Mini Maglite 2AAA LED penlight

    Very interesting! Thanks for the review. I was not terribly impressed with the initial Maglight LED offerings, so I hadn't given this one a second thought. I will have to pick one up to check out.

    My dream light, Surefire AA E2L

    Pity that they aren't focus-able, but it still sounds like a very useful light to have around for hurricane season.

    Ranger Green...TOPS in my book! :) *Updated with San Antonio's Knife Ordinance*

    This was the impression that I got a few years back when I called SAPD to ask about it before we had our yearly conference over there. The law is precisely written ; Texas state law prohibits carrying of a knife with a blade longer than 5.5", so by banning all lockbacks smaller than they they...

    Maratac AAA Cu tarnish progression

    Thanks for posting the progress pics. I gotta get me one of these. The only question is can I wait to hold it off buying it to put it on my Christmas list. :thinking:

    Hotwire How-To: The ROP and the Mag 11

    Thanks for the overview. I just broke out my old RoP Silver 2C Mag the other day and was thinking that I really needed to revisit what batteries I was using in it, and this post was great for a refresher on the subject. :twothumbs

    Time for a new tactical EDC (help me choose)

    Allow me to add my +1. I have carried an E1B with a Scout Light tailcap for roughly a year now and it has been perfectly reliable. Sometimes I wish that the low was a little lower, but when I need lots of light it throws a nice bright spot.
