    Kendall GT-1 MAX 5W30 2017 Crosstrek

    Great to hear positive feedback. At $1.99 a quart I will stock up. And, since OCIs are cheap, I will change at 5K miles. I drive the Crosstrek rather hard, and often get the RPMs up to 6k (red line is around 6.5K). The engine is so very smooth on the Kendall, no matter how hard I drive it. It's...

    Tell me about EDC pocket knives

    Been wanting a fixed blade knife for light use hiking and camping purposes. Got this $16 Mossy Oak full tang with a seven inch blade and walnut wood handles. It came with a surprise gift: a mini folding knife with a 2 3/4" blade weighing 69 grams. There was no mention anywhere that it comes with...

    Tell me about EDC pocket knives

    I own one frame lock knife, TwoSun TS81Titanium and Bone, it's a fairly big knife. Even in its larger size it is a pain to flip open due to the frame lock system. You have to be very aware of how you hold it, or it won't open. I cannot imagine a small knife with a frame lock, NO THANK YOU. I...

    Got A New Flashlight...

    Crazy impressive. The fit and finish are first rate. The UI is very user friendly. I enjoy twisting on and off the tail cap, because it is so smooth, I know that sounds weird, but I am sitting here fidgeting with it. Usually I sit around fidgeting with an EDC knife. I love the flood / spill of...

    Tell me about EDC pocket knives

    I dyed these two knives with Rit DyeMore. They both had tan colored scales from the factory. The Sapphire Blue one is a Ruike P155. The Racing Red knife is a Bestech Warwolf. The Bestech G-10 series are wonderful knives. I have the Warwolf, Muskie, and Swordfish from that line.
