G-Chief wallet. Brouwer grip. Field Notes.
Looks like I’ve got my life together.
Truth is I’m a Florida high school grad who melts plastic and draws d*cks on things for a living.
Hand-traced every one of them on that camo.
If that ain’t the American Dream, I don’t know what is.

Brouwer grip module on the P365 XL, Modlite PL350c, sitting in a glow-edge Multidick.
Real talk on the PL350c: I’ve made maybe 4-5 holsters for it since release. For holster making, it didn’t save the user enough space vs the original to justify buying new, IMO. But I’m not gonna take the L and let it collect dust in a drawer. If I own it, I’m running it.
The Brouwer though? Different story. It’s now my most requested 365 grip module — edging out Icarus and everything else.
Lead time 6 weeks.

The kids asked for a night ride with daddy… specifically night vision.
So we loaded up the 4-seater SxS and disappeared into the dark 🌙

I love that my kids think NVGs are cooler than cartoons and that their dad’s idea of a good night isn’t drinking on the couch — it’s taking them outside, teaching them to explore, and doing weird cool stuff together. That’s a win in my book.

Rocking my new windbreaker from Bad Moon Print Press —.
Not gonna lie… I got absolutely hammered with their ads until I finally caved. Targeted marketing works. Respect where it’s due 😂

NV footage filmed through a PVS-14 AGM Gen 3 white, piped to a GoPro Hero 9 using an NVGRA adapter from Total Overwatch.
Still blows my mind every time I hit record.

Core memories > everything else.

Got to hang out with the bros tonight and get a little hunting in while testing out the new Euybike F6 Pro I picked up specifically for hunts. This thing is a beast — cleared over 20 miles easy.

Now, it wasn’t all smooth sailing — I drove into a drain ditch (twice), launched myself once, and my leg decided to dip out mid-air like it had better plans. 10/10 would recommend for anyone who enjoys unplanned acrobatics.

As an amputee, though, this thing’s a total game changer. I actually got to ride, hunt, and laugh my ass off instead of ending the night in pain. And yeah — before anyone gets butt-hurt about it, don’t worry… I left the ditches unharmed and the leg was recovered safely.

To my fellow riders and hunters out there — drop your funniest wipe-out story below. And to the ones who still hate us just because they anus… sorry, we’re out here living and laughing. 💀

Farm Carry Friday 🐇🔪🔫
At this point our little backyard setup is basically a mini farm, and with that comes the good and the not-so-good. Recently some of the rabbits picked up ear mites—but thanks to ChatGPT I learned you can treat it with tiny doses of ivermectin, no expensive vet trip needed. Cleared them right up, and the babies are separated with mama to stay healthy.

When it comes to day-to-day chores like culling or dealing with predators, I keep it simple: a suppressed .22. (SilencerCo Sparrow) Quiet enough not to spook the rest of the animals, effective enough to get the job done. And then there’s my trusty Gerber Mark II—an original from the ’60s that I was given as a kid. I’ve carried this knife hundreds of thousands of miles and used it for just about everything. They really don’t make them like they used to.

Life on a backyard farm: part cute fluffballs, part steel and grit.

Filmed this run at the @steeleindustriesinc night shoot @manateegunandarchery — stage was put together by the crew at @floridamultigun .

This guy was one of the realest dudes I met that night… and of course, I forgot his name. My brain’s got the long-term memory of a goldfish with a head injury. If you recognize him, tag him for me — I’ve got a few more clips I’d love to get to the folks who let me film their runs.

I make holsters for a living, but lately I’ve been bringing the camera out— partly to make some cool content, partly to meet solid people in a world that’s gotten way too isolated. Online business is great and all, but everybody needs real-world friends.

Filmed through my personal PVS-14 — just a holster maker trying to contribute something worthwhile.

Yooooo! @close_quarters_carry coming through like the pimp that he is and hustling these fine wares. Not only that but my man makes it rain with the swag!

Seriously one of the finest presentations of a product I’ve ever seen in the gun industry.

If you’re looking for a new carry rig, don’t sleep on CQC.
