This Is The Coolest TDY Voucher I’ve Ever Seen
Sunday, August 2nd, 2015Stuff I Like – Kuhl Strand Cap
Monday, July 20th, 2015Generally, if you see me wearing a hat, it’s a Kuhl Strand Cap modified with a Velcro pile patch embroidered with the SSD logo. I really like the fit of this runner-style cap which accommodates earpro quite nicely. Additionally, it’s easy to tighten the fit of the cap during high winds thanks to the cam buckle.
I’ve been wearing Kuhl caps for many years and they come in several models including the Strand, Uberkuhl, softshell Renegade and new Renegade. Kuhl alos offers Women’s models. They are available in a variety of colors which change through the seasons so you’ll need to check their site for availability.
Stuff I Like – The Barracks Buddy from Atlas 46
Monday, July 13th, 2015 
The patented Barracks Buddy was one of the first products developed by John Carver under his 5 Seas Engineering and Trading brand. We are smack dab in the middle of summer camping as well as Annual Training season on the reserve components side. The Barracks Buddy is a great accessory for keeping gear handy when you are staying in tents or barracks with bunks. Because it can be hung vertically or horizontally, I’ve even used it to line dry swimming trunks and towels. Crafted from 50″ long x 2″ wide webbing with a full length 550 cord tacked along the length to allow you to attach gear but the coolest part is the disc-style hook buckle which weaves into the 550 and can be nailed or screwed into a wall for permanent installations.
Features and Benefits
– Four hook set up to hang anything from clothes to bags to boots
– Loop hangers allow for variety of hanging options: on hooks, over rods, etc.
– Lower loop can be used to adjust the overall hanging length
– 2″ Mil-Spec nylon construction with reinforced stitching
– Hand crafted in the USA
The Barracks Buddy is available now in Black and Coyote from Atlas 46. made in USA and comes with storage bag.
Stuff I Like – TASC Performance Boxer Briefs
Wednesday, July 8th, 2015I first discovered TASC Performance garments in early 2012 and I’ve been wearing them ever since. In fact, although I do own a couple of pairs of Merino Wool next-to-skin layers, TASC Boxer Briefs are my preferred daily wear. They are extremely comfortable and feature a flowmesh panel at the front.
Made from 55% Organic Cotton/40% Viscose from Bamboo/5% Lycra Spandex the Boxer Briefs are offered in sizes Small – XXLarge in White, Black, Heather Grey and Kryptonite.

Stuff I Like – Under Armour’s Fish Hunter Cargo Shorts
Tuesday, June 30th, 2015I’m a big fan of Tigerstripe so when I found these at a Sportsman’s Warehouse during a recent trip to Bozeman, I picked them up.
Made from a DWR treated, 30+ UFP, Salt and Chlorine resistant fabric, the shorts are very comfortable. In fact, I’m wearing them right now. There’s a little bit of mechanical stretch. They are board short length and feature cargo pockets on either thigh with snap closures as well as mesh-lined front slash pockets and a single rear pocket. Very comfy.
