Imminent threats
are on the horizon.

Apocalypse or no, it's always a good idea to be equipped with a small arsenal of tactical gear and survival skills. And if imminent threats do hit, we’re happy to know that our friends at ITS Tactical have our backs.

Shop Now

They’re the chiefs of self-sufficiency, and their foundation of relentless questioning sponsor their wealth of knowledge and gear reviews.

We asked ITS founder Bryan Black to curate a shop filled with the gear he'd recommend to friends over a beer (he'll be drinking Guinness). See his picks here.

Postalco

Meditating on that pressed tree pulp we call paper may seem like an odd thing to do. But in Japan, odd things lead to considered, artful things, and at Postalco, their study of paper is garnering some pen-worthy results.

Volley

Volley shoes first hit the shores of Australia in 1939. Since then, they've been worn down under the feet of major tennis champions and the Australian Olympic team. We love their simple style and price point, and are pleased to bring 'em stateside.

Old Try

Faulkner said to write what you know. Old Try, a print shop founded by a couple from the South, print what they know; namely, sayings rooted in their Southern heritage. Because, as Faulkner wrote, The past is never dead. It’s not even past.

Wolf v Goat

Wolves get a bad rap. They’re clever animals that like to eat, and we’re not going to blame ‘em for it. Wolf vs Goat, on the other hand, has a great rap, thanks to their quality shirts which are made in the U.S. from Japanese fabrics.

PowerPot

Simply add water to a PowerPot, place it over a flame, and watch it magically charge your electronics while it cooks your smoky beef-and-bacon chili.

Read Frozen In Time

READ THIS: FROZEN IN TIME

This is easily one of the wildest adventure stories we've ever read...

In 1942, 3 airplanes went down on the Greenland Ice Cap within days of each other.

Frozen In Time recounts the rescue efforts back then, and in 2012, when a team went back to recover the dead. Get it here.
