The Holosun 503C is a solid, sharp circle red dot that will perform well without breaking the bank. I love it; I wish I had 3.

Does theory line up with reality? In this video I explore the concept of training with a .22 caliber pistol and rifle, and attempt to discover if the muscle memory learned on my training guns carries over to the full-power counterparts.

This video won't interest everyone, but for those who might be curious, I wanted to share a little about the types of clothes I choose for hiking. The expression "different strokes for different folks" certainly applies when talking about clothing that's appropriate for trail use. We can also consider the fact that "ideal" trail clothing has a lot to do with how long you'll be out, and where you're going. I ask you to take all of those factors - and more - into consideration as you hear my opinion about good trail clothes. This is what works for me, but go ahead a wear what works for you.

The Kershaw OD-2 is a fun little pocket knife that I highly recommend, even MORE SO than the Kershaw OD-1! With it's small price tag ($13-sh), and equivalent fun-factor, I think this is a more sensible knife to add to your collection. It's got some decent utility with a spear-point and fine edge, and it's small size and light weight make it extremely carry-able. I had a hard time saying "no" to this knife, and I bet you will too.

I was sold on the Spyderco Manix 2 when I first laid eyes on it. The great looks, excellent ergonomics, and fun locking mechanism all make this a very enjoyable knife to handle and carry. It's made with an outstanding steel, 154cm, and agressive G10 handle scales for great retention in pocket or hand, with good edge retention and durability.
Spyderco markets this knife as a hard use folder, so you should feel very confident carrying this into the outdoors, and putting it under all kinds of stress, right? Although I didn't perform any hard-use tests myself, my confidence in this knife has dropped somewhat after watching this video by jankerson1:

I hope future versions of this knife will have the durability this one is meant to have, but until then, I'm happy to make this a simple "fondling" blade - one that I'll enjoy just for the coolness of it.
