    Episode 157: My ‘Go Pouch’

    Episode 157: My ‘Go Pouch’

    In this week’s episode of Gearing Up, I’m covering a mixed bag of topics. From my latest fixed blade, to knife show updates and my latest EDC thing - the ‘go pouch’.

    The go pouch is all about convenience and removing friction from my life. It’s stressful enough getting out the door with three kids, so the go pouch helps me get out a bit quicker. Let me know what you think! Have you tried this approach to edc pouches?

    Episode 156: Blade Texas (and we’ve added video!)

    Episode 156: Blade Texas (and we’ve added video!)

    On this week’s episode of Gearing Up, we’re trying something a bit different. I’ve wanted to add video to the show for quite a while, and I finally got tired of sitting around and waiting. I think I’ve got most of the bugs worked out, and now you’ll be able to watch my dumb face as you listen to the show! 

    Check out BladeShowTexas.com for info on the show and to get tickets. 


    A few things about the video:
     - I realized after recording that the glare on my glasses was extremely distracting. I am fixing that for next time. 
     - I’m distracted quite a bit during this episode because of the video and constantly checking to make sure I’m in frame/focus. 
     - This episode did NOT need video, but I wanted to upload it anyways so I can test everything out.

    Episode 154: Cloffice Life

    This episode is going to be a little different. Instead of talking about knives and other gear, I’m going to talk about my new home office. I talk about the project and some of the upgrades I’ve made, and how that’s going to help recording the  show.

    Let me know what your go-to has been lately. What knife in your collection regained some popularity with you after you carried it for a bit?

Like Hanging With a Friend

Gearing Up is good podcast about every day carry (EDC), EDC trends, and interviews with makers/content creators. The host’s style is like hanging with a friend telling you about some gear he is into. I really like the fact this is more about personal interest than a blanket topic podcast. You can tell the amount of love GTDUNN has for his topics of the episode. Keep up the good work.

Fun musings and EDC maker interviews

Greg does a great job of fusing in-depth interviews with EDC makers that helps glean an insight into what brought them to present day with current trends and thoughts in the EDC world. Loving the podcast ever since I discovered it!

A Greeter for the EDC community

Growing up in church, there was always someone to greet you at the doors. This is how I feel when I come into the EDC community with Gearing Up. I feel so welcomed and informed. I have been into knives for a year now, but I had never gotten into the community until I came across some who have created a platform in which they share. Amongst hearing about the daily life of an EDC community member, I have learned the ways of the community and I feel a part of this community. Thank you!
