Beard and Hair Growth Supplement For Men

I received this product at a super discounted rate for my honest review. I purchased here https://www.amazon.com/Beard-Hair-Growth-Supplement-Men/dp/B01HN809SE/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1471716946&sr=8-1&keywords=badass+beard  on amazon I am still reviewing this product and will have more info in the near future. First impressions are key, and the bottle looks nice, packaged well, but... the actual "vitamin" or supplement or whatever you want to call it has a little bit of a nasty smell and taste but that doesn't bother me. I have been taking the supplement for around two weeks and not sure I see results YET as far as a fuller beard growth, however I do feel as though my hair grows faster! Again I will have more to come on the Bad @$$ beard growth from wild willies beard co.

The Gerber Iris Flashlight

The Gerber Iris Flashlight. I got this light in a package deal with the previously reviewed Gerber Crucial. I had been looking for a good EDC light and couldn't decide which one I wanted until I saw the Crucial Iris combo on Amazon. You can purchase the Gerber Iris on Amazon Click here anywhere from $13-$50 yes that's a huge range and I have no clue why that is. If you are going to spend $30 on this guy you might as well Click here and get the Gerber Crucial and Iris package for about $30. The length for the Iris runs just over 6" weights almost 5oz, and runs on two AA batteries, and runs for eight hours. The AA batteries are not only convenient, but also cheaper than other batteries you see other lights running. At 60 lumens, the Iris is not the brightest of lights, but it will get you by. The body or casing of the Iris is glass filled nylon, and you can run the light on steady, or momentary on, also spot light mode, or flood light. The Iris is waterproof up to 3 meters, impact resistant, has a textured handle for better grip, and the on/off button is recessed to eliminate accidental turn on if your carrying in your pocket. There is a lanyard hole and mine came with a small amount of cord. If your looking for a small EDC light, maybe with a pocket clip, you should keep looking. If you need an emergency weather light, or to find stuff around the house, maybe go camping, fishing, or perform a simple task in the dark, I would recommend this one. This is a great light and I use it often but it stays home. It feels nice in your hand, also the color of the light produced is a nice neutral color, no yellow or "warmth" to it. That's about all I have on the Gerber Iris, hope this helps!
Here is the package 



And the Light up close.

I'm back with the Gerber Crucial

Sorry everyone, me and the family just got back from vacation in California. So the Gerber Crucial, I have been carrying the Gerber crucial for a while now and got some words I would like to share about it. I was hoping to do a video review on it and I still might just to give a hands on view of how this thing works. First off, the crucial comes in black, and green, and either comes with a carabiner or a strap cutter. That is the only two differences. The Crucial is 5.5 inches when opened, 3.6 inches closed. It weights only 5.0 oz and is stainless steel. When opened you have a nice set of needle nose pliers, a wider part considered regular pliars, not sure if it could really be used as regular pliers. The handle is pretty ergonomical, kinda. I say that because I hold them differently I think than most. All in all its ergonomical. The pliers are not spring loaded so you kinda have to use your pinkie to open them. The crucial has a wire cutter like most multi tool pliers, but also wire strippers below the cutter. When you shut the crucial, there is on one side a blade about 2 3/8" long, with half serration. On the same side, there is a flat head, and cross tip screwdriver. On the opposite side of the crucial, a pocket clip, and there is depending on your version, a carabiner, or my favorite a strap cutter. Whew lots of features on this guy, and I'm still not done! When you open the knife, screwdrivers, or strap cutter/carabiner, there is a liner lock. When I found out there was liner locks on ALL the tools on the crucial I was very impressed. The locks are really nice to have a secure (warm fuzzy) feeling when using it. I have used the screwdrivers on a couple "jobs" around the house. This is where I would have rather done a video review. You can leave the crucial closed and open the cross tip screwdriver and use it like that but I like to open the tool half way just to give 1. More torque and 2. More to hold on to. You unfortunately cannot use the flat tip the same way but it's still useful. Online at Gerbergear.com it says the crucial has a bottle opener and I don't really agree. Maybe the finger grab is considered a bottle opener but I'm not sure. The black color is rubbing off on mine, but I carry mine everyday. There is a little play when the pliers are shut down at the part that opens which is no big deal because they still work fine. On the strap cutter when it's closed, there is play but I think it's so you can open the strap cutter quickly in time of emergency because it is easy to open. I did have one day where somehow I was pulling it out of my pocket and the strap cutter was coming open. Only once, and will it happen again? I have no clue. The pocket clip cannot be moved to other mount points so it's pretty much a right handed carry. You can open and close the knife one handed with your right hand and the strap cutter with your left. So there it is the Berber crucial.

Gerber Artifact

First thoughts of the Gerber Artifact were do I really need it? I see all these pocket dumps, everyday carry pictures, and many of them had a small pry bar. I don't know about everyone else but I can't recall a time where I'm like man I could really use a pry bar. I decided to give it a go and got one. I have been carrying this little guy for about two or three weeks, Ill give you some specs, then tell you more on what I think. It has a #11 "Hobby" blade, just a little razor blade and comes with three refills. The Artifact has a cross tip screw driver, small and medium flat tip screw driver. On the side of the artifact is a bottle opener, wire stripper in the corner on the pry bar, and a lanyard "hole" its triangle shaped. At 4.8" long over all when the blade is opened, and closed at 3.5" long, its pretty small but decent enough to get your hand on it comfortably, also small enough to fit on your keychain.

 The Artifact is made of stainless steel, only weighing 1.5 oz so it won't be weighing down your everyday carry. The blade is a really sharp razor, perfect for any really small job, crafts, or shaving the calluses off your hands. There is a frame lock for the razor, its not the most sturdy but keeps the blade from closing on you. If you try to cut too hard, it will hyper extend past the locking point, as I have a couple times, no harm done. When opened fully, you will hear it click, but you have to give it a little more push to get the lock to "lock." I have used the philips or "cross tip" screw driver on a couple small projects and it did well, there isn't much leverage, but I don't think you would be putting a big project together using the Artifact. As far as the wire strippers, flat tip screw driver, and pry bar, I haven't really used them much so when I do I will update with more info. would I recommend you getting one, or would I get one for a family member or friend? Yes, absolutely

Finally! The Giro Hex MTB helmet

After loosing my information on my iPad that I used to write this review, I got sick! I'm good now and here it is. When you think of a good mountain bike helmet, what do you think of? I think of the Giro Hex MTB helmet. I bought mine around five months or so ago. I had been using a cheap road bike helmet that was bulky, heavy, and the fit was horrible, so when I received my new helmet I was really excited to see the difference. First off, the color was exactly what I wanted. Bright fluorescent green. Of course  the Giro hex comes in many other colors as well. The Giro hex is lightweight at just over 300 grams. It has 21 vent holes which creates a much cooler ride especially here in Tucson Az. I went on a trail here that I had ridden before my new helmet and definitely a temperature difference (for the better of course). The Giro helmet features the Roc Loc 5 fitting system which is top notch. This particular fitting system creates a very secure, and safe feel that completely surrounds your head, while still keeping a low profile and adding Little weight. There is also three notches to adjust the height that the helmet sits on your head. Of all the good I can say about this extraordinary helmet, there is something I want to bring out. The chin straps. The chin straps are sturdy and all but they don't conform to your cheek/chin very well. It's a little uncomfortable when riding buy when on a trail you don't notice. It was a great purchase and I still love using it today.

A slight delay

so I locked out my iPad and had to delete my info including my review of the Giro mtb helmet. So there is a delay in my next post.
