Hello internet peoples, my name is Bill. I come to you from a humble and modest home full of love and more importantly toys. The term toys can be a very broad one as you might initially think I’m talking about my daughters Ms. Potato head over in the corner when really what I’m talking about is the Gerber MP600 in my pocket.
You see, people in general, no matter their age, have toys; and that’s what I want to talk to you folks about. Namely: my toys. In the coming posts you’ll get to (that’s right, lucky you) read about my opinions and practical applications of my various toys or gear and potentially skills I’ve used with said gear.
Now, about me. I told you that I come from a humble home and blah, blah, blah. A question you’ve probably already posed in your head is “What the hell makes him so bloody qualified to tell me what he thinks about anything? Who is this Spacecowboy Bill fella anyway?” Well…I am a father, husband, joker, outdoors-man and all around doer of things. I have camped and fished since I was old enough to remember. I have always been adventurous, to a fault some may say. I’m always willing to step outside of my comfort zone if it means learning a new skill or feeling accomplished that I did something new and different. I can be pretty overconfident sometimes but hey, it’s worked out pretty well so far.
I’ve carried various types of toys since I was a teenager, from pocket knives to caribiners, compasses, church keys and many more. I have always found ways to use what I carry with me for either their intended uses or maybe just a tad outside of that. This has given me an interesting perspective on overall utility of toys and how to play with them.
Alright, enough of the whole “toys” allegory, I’ll refer to it as gear from here on out. Suffice it to say, I use gear. I use it every day, in practical applications that ought to relate to how some of you would typically use it or even carry it. Maybe you’ve been interested in carrying this or that, or trying your hand at this skill, well, the plan is this: via this blog, I will be explaining to you my experiences with such things. I may even post a video or twelve, I don’t know, let’s see how it goes…
