and what broke
Field-Tested Gear
Group-use reviews. What survived, what we would not buy again.
- Custom Guys-Trip Patches: The Three-Inch Spec We Would Order Again
The patch that looks best on a screen is not always the patch that embroiders well. Here is the spec we would use again, and the vendor brief that gets a machine to reproduce it correctly.
- One Cooler Is Not Enough
The drinks cooler gets opened forty times a day. It should not also be responsible for protecting Friday's raw meat. Here is the two-cooler system, and a third for fishing trips.
- The Blackstone Does Eighteen Eggs at Once
Cheesesteaks for seven in one pass, nachos built on the surface, and a griddle heavy enough that two people carry it. We would buy it again.
