The original Wingard Wearables Quill is meant to fit a broad range of hand sizes… but it doesn’t fit all of them. Now, with the addition of the Slim Quill and the Quill XL, any sized hand can wrap their fingers around this wicked little piece of hand forged steel.
If you don’t know, the Quill is a self-defense tool. It is a deceptively simple, forged steel spike with an elegant, curved shape that allows for a number of grips. It is compact (even the larger sizes) and should be quite easy to carry.
Most people should still consider the original Quill. Those with small hands or extremely large hands should look into the new sizes. You can find details on sizing and how to use the Quill at the Wingard Wearables website and their Instagram page.

The original Ute pack, which came out in 2013, was HPG’s first full-size backpacking pack. The beauty of the Ute pack is it’s ability to compress down for day-sized loads or expand it’s capacity with the addition of pack pockets. Now in 2021 they have updated to the Ute V2 with several additional features.
Changes to the Ute include:
2″ top lid pocket with zippered access from the outside.
Velcro loop underneath lid for using Velcro compatible pockets like the 58 Pouch or Tool Roll
Adjustable bellows wand pockets with drawstring adjustment.
Most knives aren’t made for prying or scraping so many have taken to carrying a small pry bar to take care of those types of jobs. Typically, the pry bar does not need to be that large to handle things like pulling staples or breaking packing tape on a box, which begs the question… Just how small can you make an EDC pry bar and while retaining its usefulness?
Gear Spool might have the answer to that. Their Mighty Mini Bar is small… very, very small. This slim titanium pry bar is just 2.25 x 0.15 x 0.15 inches and weighs next to nothing. While many pry tools targeted at the EDC market have leather or kydex belt sheaths, the Mighty Mini Bar basically disappears on a keychain. It might be all you need to keep from snapping the tip off your prized folding knife.
