(image courtesy Oscarpistorius.com) Does the name Oscar Pistorius mean anything to you? If you don’t follow track and field or Olympics drama, probably not. He is a gifted sprinter who will be running for South Africa in this summer’s games. He is fast, though probably not fast enough to be a serious threat. Oh, and [...]

Gear Diary Outdoors, MyGunDB Intelligent Firearms Solutions
As a South Texas country boy and an avid hunter, I have a love for firearms. Shotguns, pistols, rifles, if it goes bang, I want one. I often tell people owning a firearm is like eating potato chips…you can’t have just one. While my collection is far from finished, I do have several pieces and [...]
Big Green Egg vs. Primo XL: Kamado Dragons Face Off in the Ceramic Grill Octagon
Anyone who is slightly befuddled by the title of this post probably isn’t a member of the cult of ceramic grills, which are also known by their Japanese name of kamado grills. I used to be one of those people who sneered at my friends who went on and on about how wonderful their Big [...]
Add “Skydiving Without a Parachute” to the “Don’t Try This at Home” List!
(image courtesy sky.com) I saw a headline on The Clymb today about a skydiver who completed a jump without a parachute, and at first assumed the gentleman made a dramatic landing with a malfunctioning parachute. As it turns out, the actual story is much cooler. The jumper is a stuntman, and he designed a wingsuit [...]
Case Logic and LoveCases Can Outfit You for your Next Adventure, Urban or Remote
I love it when a great plan comes together, even if totally by accident. Recently Gear Diary received a request from LoveCases online camera bag and gear case retailer to pick a bag or two we would like to review. As many of the bags they offer are for photographic gear I was asked if [...]
ThermaCELL Mosquito Repellent Is a Hunter’s Best Friend
Spring turkey season has been in full swing for several weeks. My buddies and I have been spending countless hours in our pop up blinds on the weekends, both morning and nights. Mother nature has blessed south Texas with some much-needed rain this spring, making the land green and wildflowers colorful. Along with this rain [...]
GAIN Fitness for iOS is Pocket-Sized Personal Training
Exercise. It’s something we all need to do, with the exception of those among us who are genetically gifted. But it is too easy to get caught in a rut, slogging through the same workouts each day. Or to avoid working out entirely because a meeting ran late, the car is in the shop, dinner [...]
LifeProof Belt Clip, Bike and Bar Mount, and GoPro Mount for iPhone 4S Video Review
; We reviewed the LifeProof case for the iPhone 4 and 4S a short while ago. (You can read the full review here.) The LifeProof case is intended for people who lead a busy, often rugged, life. After all, it is water, crush, dust and… life proof. (It is, however, thin and light enough for [...]
iPhone Cases For Country Boys! Case Mate Review
Yes, it is true! Country boys do have tech gear and iPhones! In fact, as you will see with the Gear Diary Outdoors series, gear and the outdoors are actually a wonderful match. We use camo gear for just about everything. Of course, I mostly use it when hunting, but it is also a bit [...]
Montie Gear Precision Gun Rest Review
As a South Texas Country Boy, I am an avid rifle and bow hunter, fisherman, camper and all around outdoorsman. Technology and gadgets have come to play a huge role in the outdoors lifestyle, and we hope to bring more reviews and news of this type of gear in the near future. When you see [...]
Siri Is Awesome but It’s Not the AT&T iPhone 4S’ Best Feature
I love Siri on the iPhone 4S. As I have written previously, it has changed the way I use my iPhone and, in fact, the way I do much of my writing. Thanks to Siri I’m better at consistently setting up reminders for myself. Thanks to Siri I’m able to make new appointments on the [...]
Trying Out Maghound, the Online Magazine Subscription Service
It’s no secret that I like to read, and anymore it seems that most of my reading is done on the Amazon Kindle DX. Unfortunately, that is not the best format for reading glossy magazines. Until the day comes that there is a color Kindle DX, I will probably still be reading the dead tree [...]
Circleville Pumpkin Show Unplugged
This is the start of what I hope to be a team wide series on how do we unplug from our electronic world we are so very connected to. While we are still so obsessed with technology it’s unnatural, we still have to unplug sometimes. Sometimes it’s good to get away from technology every once [...]
Holy Cow…It’s Cold!
I can’t remember the last time we had this much snow! For those of you that are in Australia – ahem, Mitchell and Jenneth – enjoying your 100 degree summer heat, let this pictorial be a reminder of the freaky things nature is doing in Texas… Sarah woke me up at 5 am this morning [...]
