A short time ago, on a podcast far far away… That’s right, it’s time for the Ridiculous Dialogue breakdown of The Last Jedi from Bryan, Matt and Rob!
Be warned, this is a spoiler-laden episode so don’t tune in unless you’re prepared to hear everything. In this episode, you’ll find out what we thought of the latest installment of the franchise.
In our first unboxing of the year, Bryan offers a look at the Duo Personal Security Sensor, a grown up and more featured version of a Spy Tech Intruder Alert.
Also this week, Bryan fields some Questions Over Coffee on where to go when visiting the Bourbon Trail and how he keeps track of his to-do’s in a journal. Continue reading →
It happens. You’re more likely to die in a fire here in the United States, than any other industrialized nation. The Station Night Club in Rhode Island, 100 people killed. The Ghost Ship fire in San Francisco, 37 people killed. Between 2009 and 2013, 12 people were killed and additional 299 were injured in mercantile store fires. However, 1,533 people died in residential home fires between January 1, 2017 and September 26, 2017. It’s your responsibility to make sure you don’t put yourself in a location or situation that increases your risk. Continue reading →
With the new year upon us, many people will be striking out to make some changes in their life. However, on this episode of Gear Tasting Radio, we discuss why making resolutions might be hurting you in the long run.
With the end of the year rapidly approaching, we’re cleaning house and throwing our biggest sale ever! Now through December 31st, you can save 25% in the ITS Store by using the coupon code DUSTBUNNIES at checkout!
Hurry though, this End of Year Cleaning Sale is limited to stock on hand and there are no rainchecks! Please Note: The DUSTBUNNIES discount code cannot be combined with any other discount codes. Additionally, discounts are not available on a purchase of a new membership or existing sale items.
We’re extremely excited to be introducing our new ITS Logo Zippo® Lighters into the store today! Zippo® has been synonymous with quality and good old Made In The USA dependability for over 85 years. You’ll be hard pressed to find a lighter more worthy of your EDC and we’re proud to have worked with them directly on this project.
The ITS Logo is deep-etched into the matte powder-coating of each Zippo®, revealing the brass finish underneath. These genuine lighters were custom made for us by Zippo® and retain the “World Famous Zippo® Guarantee” they’re known the world over for.
Available in Midnight Black and Surplus Green, each ITS Logo Zippo® Lighter is made in Bradford, Pennsylvania.
Each year as we film videos, the funny clips that don’t make the final edit pile up and it’s a Christmas tradition for us to compile the hilarity into a single outtakes video. These (very NSFW) clips are a look into the lighter side of the videos we shoot and this year they’re pretty entertaining.
Prior to clicking that play button though, we’d like to take the opportunity to thank each and every one of you for your support. The ITS Community is the best around and we’re honored to be able to share the skills and information we do with you.
Thank you for a wonderful 2017, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
