Colonel Littleton No. 11 Survival Belt review

I am not sure if I should cue the theme to Mission Impossible, Raiders of the Lost Ark, or MacGyver… And we all know if you are considering theme music, it is the start of a fun review. That difficult decision aside, the review item I am discussing is the No. 11 Survival Belt from Colonel Littleton that not only holds up your pants but may help you get out of a dicey, bad, or downright life-threatening situation. The No. 11 Survival belt is handmade in Col. Littleton's workshop from native American steer hide with solid brass hardware, snaps, and rivits.

Everyday Carry Gear - Elizabeth Rodriguez

Recently Julie asked us to do a post on what we carry every day.  My two bags vary depending on if it's a weekday or a weekend. I'm a computer technician, so my everyday carry bag is pretty heavy.  It needs to be a mobile workstation. (See lead photo.)   I usually carry a Fossil messenger bag, but sometimes I switch to a backpack if I'm going to walk a lot in the city, or switch up the bag for a different style.
