Our Ancestors Didn’t Need These Tools. Do We?

This week, we’re going back 5,000 years to see what Ötzi the Iceman carried and what it says about our obsession with modern everyday carry. From copper axes and flint knives to Viking whetstones, we’re exploring whether today’s gear is an evolution of survival or just overkill. We’ve also got a new Show and Tell with the Gatorz Rig, community takes on drop culture and the “curator” debate, and a confessional about loving gear just for the sake of it. Plus, Carry of the Week features the Oz Machine Co. Rosie in MagnaCut, What’s in My Pockets, and another round of giveaways.0:16 Show and TelliPhone flashlight trick (still sucks)Gatorz RigBHQ x Tactile Knife Co.
