2024/08/09

I have spent a lifetime hiking in the mountains, and I also have Morton’s Neuroma which has led me to be very particular about both my boot choice and the insoles I use inside them.

I hope this review is helpful.0:00 – Intro 2:05 – Purpose of insoles 5:41 – Scoring system 5:55 - Price 7:00 –

2024/08/02

I love doing head-to-head product reviews but sometimes it’s hard to capture all the nuance of the underlying technologies or materials. So, I wanted to take a first principles approach to gear reviews in this new series and start to look at individual variables separate from the products themselves. I have wanted to do a backcountry stove review for a while but have been challenged by what systems to include. With that in mind, I backed up a step and derived some tests to look at how important

Over the last three years, I have slowly become obsessed with late-season whitetail hunting. The one difficulty is staying warm for 10 hour sits in -20 degree weather!

Bryan is not only the founder of Day Six Gear, but he is also a very successful businessman who's driving motivations are his family and faith.
