When they’re not busy incorporating their top of the line equipment for soldiers serving on the front lines, Hazard 4® and 911 Supply decided to team up and send us an updated version of their very versatile sling packs. But with a product coming from a company with this type of calibre we couldn’t just do a run of the mill type of review. So, I decided to hit the gun range to see how the pack affected my aim.

Living in the Pacific Northwest, we have it pretty easy when it comes to snowfall in areas such as Seattle, WA and Vancouver, BC but the folks in the Northeast and Midwest don’t have it all that great during the winter months. I used to live in Missouri, so I know what those poor schmucks have to deal with and I’ve busted my tailbone numerous times on slippery sidewalks.

Recently, our geeky friends over at Geek Extreme introduced you to the IDAPT i1ECco, device chargerwhere you can use it to charge two gadgets at once. The creative team at IDAPT has pledged to keep making new ones as more devices roll off the line.

Professional and amateur photographers alike always have to carry a ton of gear to capture the perfect picture. They have to lug around heavy equipment bags and, on top of that, the dreaded heavy DSLR camera, which can weigh up to a few pounds with a lens. Thanks to the innovative people at Peak Design who have come up with a Capture Camera Clip System, it can now be a little bit easier to lug around your DSLR.

The camera clip system is a very easy to use.  It’s a self explanatory system that can attach to the belt around your waist or the strap of your backpack.  With a push of a button, your camera is simply taken out of the clip to quickly capture the perfect image.

A while back, I wrote a few tips on choosing the right television for your bachelor pad and it turns out that I myself needed a new TV set a few weeks ago. I am in the slow process of renovating a small corner of my basement but it’s nothing fancy at the moment because I’m trying to stay on a budget. Luckily for me, we got an email from a PR company called Oglivy and they wanted us to review the LG 42LS3400 LED TV.  How can an Unfinished Man say no to an offer like that, we took on the task of reviewing this 42″ LED TV, all opinions expressed here are my own with no input from LG Electronics or Oglivy.
