Wait Too Long to Buy a Gift for Dad? These Are Some of Our Favorite Gift Card Options

What Exactly Is a Tactical Watch?

The Gear Patrol Podcast is our weekly roundtable discussion focused on products, their stories, and the culture surrounding them.

This content is imported from Third party. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site.

In this episode, Editor Oren Hartov explains the ins and outs of tactical watches–sometimes called military watches. When you hear the terms “dive watch” or “pilot’s watch,” you can easily picture the product; tactical watches are a much more ambiguous idea.

Hartov explains the origin of the military wristwatch and talks about how far the category has evolved since the first World War. He also shares some insight about his own military experience, and how his relationship with watches changed as a result.

Today in Gear: Your Chance to Score the Ultimate Camp Kitchen Upgrade, an Electric Bronco & More

Now’s Your Chance to Score the Ultimate Camp Kitchen Upgrade

With warm weather here to stay, and Backcountry offering 20 percent off one full-priced item, it’s the perfect time to upgrade your camp kitchen setup. While your stickered-up plastic cooler from the late 80s has a certain vintage charm to it, something like Pelican’s IM 50QT Elite Cooler will do a much better job of keeping your goods nice and chilled. Or maybe you’re still slaving away on a foldable two-burner camp stove. Sure, they are classic pieces of camp kit, but Camp Chef’s Pursuit Portable Pellet Grill will have you cooking up Michelin Star-worthy meals right at the trailhead. And what good is a camp-side meal without a quality chair to sit in while you eat it? Lafuma’s R Clip chair not only folds up flat for storage, but also reclines back for unmatched comfort and relaxation at your campsite. Act fast to upgrade your setup before the sale ends on 5/31/2021 (exclusions apply).

Whiskey Lovers: Here’s Why It’s Time to Start Drinking Rum

The Gear Patrol Podcast is our weekly roundtable discussion focused on products, their stories, and the culture surrounding them.

This content is imported from Third party. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site.

In this episode, Editor Will Price, who runs Gear Patrol’s Home & Drinks content, gets into why rum is the hot spirit of the moment–and why he thinks rum is an excellent, affordable alternative for whiskey lovers especially. You’d be forgiven for knowing little about rum as a serious spirit, and Will is advocating for rum as something that’s much, much more than booze you dump into a glass of coca cola.

You can find extensive rum buying guides on the gear patrol website, and there’s a story in the latest GP magazine about rum too…all those links are in the show notes. Those combined with this conversation will get you ready to hunt for bottles.

Sorry, Your Vegan Shoes Aren’t Sustainable… At All. Here’s Why.

The Gear Patrol Podcast is our weekly roundtable discussion focused on products, their stories, and the culture surrounding them.

This content is imported from Third party. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site.

In this episode, Senior Staff Writer Tanner Bowden, who covers outdoors and fitness products for Gear Patrol, discusses vegan shoes. Tanner has written in depth about why vegan shoes cannot be considered even close to sustainable–even though they’re very much marketed as such using a deceptive practice called “Greenwashing.”

Tanner discusses how environmentally conscious consumers can recognize dubious marketing and avoid getting duped. He also talks us through new leather alternatives that are actually sustainable, and suggests several specific products and practices to consider when you’re looking for your next responsible shoe purchase.

Everything You Need to Know to Plan a Summer Vacation

Carlos Sanchez PereyraGetty Images

Few of us have ever experienced anything like what we’ve had to live through for the past year. The pandemic has kept us local, stuck in our apartments or even back home with our parents. We’ve talked ad nauseam about the impact the pandemic has had on our world here at Gear Patrol and how we think the world will look moving forward, gear-wise. Now it is time to look to the near future and actually put the gear we love to talk about so much to use. This means going out and finding the perfect vacation to revitalize and energize our souls.

With that said, inevitably, things will be different. There will still be various travel restrictions, you’ll still need to bring masks and you’ll want your vaccine card with you, if you have one. Many countries are still seeing the virus come in waves and many haven’t even gotten vaccines going yet. This isn’t all to say it is impossible to enjoy a trip with few issues, but keep in mind that this will not be like taking a vacation in 2019.

We’ve done a ton of research on planning a summer vacation and what you need to make the most of your first trip post-pandemic. Frankly, this has gotten us fired up and we hope that it inspires others to take the leap (in a safe manner) and get to planning their own killer vacation. If you want to know where to book, what to do or what to bring, we’ve got you covered.
