I saw this today and couldn’t resist sharing. I mean COME ON. Who wouldn’t love to have one of these sitting in their garage? Mercedes teamed up with the defense contractor EADS to bring the world this amazing machine. With a top speed of 93mph and a payload capacity of 1.4 tons this is one nimble powerhouse. It also boasts a full steel body with a modular armor system that includes a beefy mine deflector built into the floor. The one pictured was fitted by EADS with a vehicle data recorded, integrated UHF/VHF communications system, integrated mobile command/control and a jamming system. Unfortunately I can’t find any price or indication that they are offering these to civilians but I am sure if you are some sort of millionaire you could make a call and pick one of these up, just be sure to order one for me.
Today we review the Tom Bihn Aeronaut Maximum Carry-On Travel Bag. This bag blew our mind in just about ever aspect of the review.

Check out this sweet day pack from Penfield. Made proudly in Massachusetts, this bag has all the trimings. Tons of pockets, laptop storage sleeve, multiple adjustment straps and much more. This bag also features a air flow back padding to keep your from sweating everything up. The Colrain Backpack comes equiped with a rain cover as well for those less then sunny days out on the trail or running from zombies.
As one might assume during World War II and the Cold War Britain’s famous M16 was hard at work underground below london building and operating out of a secret underground tunnel. Check out this video that I thought was pretty cool showing a walk-through and some details about the Kingsway tunnel system. The coolest part? It can be yours for around $7.5 Million USD. If anyone wants to go in on it let me know, my wife said I can throw in $100.
So tonight I found some time to whip out a new review for you guys. This isn’t really a review of a single product but more of a look at what I generally am caught with in my pockets. I thought it would be fun for everyone to post comments or photos to the flickr group about their EDC. If you don’t have a flickr membership you should get one. They are free.
So this first image is a look at some of my basic EDC items. Benchmade Mini-Griptilian Knife (reviewed below), Surefire E1E Executive (also below), moleskin notebook, swiss army watch (review coming soon), ipod nano, canon powershot SD750 camera, and my wallet. I also carry a few other items but these are my current favorites.

This next image was really just an excuse to include my newest handgun, the Walther P99 and a mag. I am loving this little 9mm. It is with out a doubt the most comfortable handgun I have ever held. Review on this (and a fun video of my wife shooting it) coming soon.
