Seattle docks and boats

Touring Seattle, WA

After the overnight in Prosser, WA it was on to Seattle, WA for a white-coat ceremony and some exploring. First off was the graduation. I have been to Seattle many times, but never had the opportunity to visit the University of Washington. The white-coat ceremony gave me the opportunity to explore a bit, and I found

Tough Mudder 2014

I’ve been meaning to get this up for a while now. I completed my second Tough Mudder this year in Phoenix, AZ with two of my very good friends. I wore a GoPro on my chest and did my best to capture the start and obstacles. Unfortunately, one clip was corrupted (the “Just the Tip”

Overland Expo 2014 Recap

Overland Expo 2014 is packed up and dispersed. Having lived in Phoenix for every single Overland Expo, I feel somewhat of a dunce for never having heard of it while I lived there, or attended (obviously). Ironically, I didn’t become aware of the event until I discovered an interest in overlanding, after I moved out of Arizona. Anyways, boo

Kestrel wine tasting menu

Touring in Prosser, WA.

On the road to Seattle, I spent a night in Prosser. The group I was with wanted to stop here for wine tastings. I didn’t really know what to expect! Wine tasting in a small town in the middle of Washington? First off, I’m no wine aficionado. I can appreciate a good wine, but my

Take Me Downtown Tour

Saw Kacey Musgraves, Kip Moore, and Lady Antebellum recently. Very talented people putting on quite a good show. I was able to capture these questionably good, admittedly mediocre, shots throughout the night. Enjoy them mildly.

Expedition Trailer Shootout

My wife and I recently decided that we were going to purchase an ‘expedition trailer’ (aka ‘off-road trailer,’ ‘recreational trailer,’ and ‘camping trailer’) to expand our road trip capabilities. We wanted a simple off-road capable trailer with rooftop tent capabilities, as opposed to hard shell and ‘pop up’ camper trailers. Now, as it turns out,

Ammo: XM193 vs XM855

XM193 and XM855 are 5.56x45mm rounds that are used with the AR-15 platform. Most commonly, they are used by the US military in M4 and M16 rifles and carbines, but they are also two of the most popular 5.56 rounds among the civilian market (likely because of the military adoption). That’s about it for your history
