I needed a dual purpose water shoe / light hiker. I wanted something durable, grippy, and protective, AND able to get immersed in water. It seemed like Salomon Techamphibian 5's were the answer. ... and they sort of are. Trying them on, they seemed perfect. However once I actually wore them for a short walk, a seam inside the shoe where the outside of the baby toe sits started rubbing and became a hot spot. Hopefully they improve with wear and break-in period. For now, they must be worn with socks, or something protecting my baby toes from getting blisters. Otherwise, they're protective enough for sharp rocks, and quick drying. If i solve the blister issue they're perfect for my use. (Hiking waterfalls and cliff jumping)

Its hot. Its humid. Im wearing all linen. A bright orange shirt, green pants and green flat cap. Watch is a Casio AE1200WH (the Casio Royale) SOTD is Room 1015's Sweet Leaf (and its doing very well in Caribbean air)

Its fun, functional, comfortable, adaptable, and practical. Everything im wearing has a reason to be there. SOTD is Dylan Blue

I got one of those Anson belts with the hidden pocket to stash cash inside. I loaded it with $100 bills for my travel. When I wear it I think to myself... Its a waist of money! (That's a joke. Its a great belt!)

Today, I’m heavy on function! Cindy and I are heading across the pond for about three weeks. We’ll be in the air until sometime late tomorrow. So, I’m in grey nylon hiking pants, a burgundy t-shirt and a tan Cabela’s safari shirt. I promise, I have nicer clothes in my suitcase. A major challenge, is we will experience temps from 50°F with rain, through 100°F with intense sun! That’s a lot to pack. I’ll be on here intermittently over the next three weeks, so I’ll try to be a little better dressed in an upcoming post! Thanks, Brothers!
