Labor Day was coming and Katrin and I both had to work Friday through Sunday. Monday (Labor Day) we decided we would clean our carpets with a rented Rug Doctor from Home Depot. I had Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday off while she had Monday and Tuesday off. It dawned on me last minute, that being…
EDC/tool pouch/preparedness.
I recently bought this pouch. Thought I would share a little about it, and why I bought it. Why? I have 2 backpacks that I lug around. One is my work bag that I take every time I go in, and the other is my Osprey bag that I take hiking. Between these 2 bags…
