Home of the Best Outdoor and Tactical Gear Reviews. Hi! I'm Ivan, having spent time in a lot of environments and with the opportunity to field a lot of equipment, I have grown fond of well made gear, so I figured I would share some of the knowledge and experience.

I’m not saying it is easy. I’m saying it is generally pretty simple. Stop being a Poor. You are a slave to a number of things when you live outside your means. And that means you may not find yourself in a position to behave in the way you would want to when push comes to shove. When you aren’t beholden to things, creditors or an employer, you are free to make your own choices in life.

*This one happens to be of a pretty rad time shooting one of the stages at Moons Out Goons Out 2024*
