Filson X Danner Trail 2650 Hiker Boots
“I picked these up for vacation hikes with the family. Not only do they fit like a glove, but the support and stability are excellent. They look good with pants, as well as shorts, and the Danner quality is superb.” Buy: $198
Spicy TRUFF Mayo
“It’s no secret that we love TRUFF’s stylish and tasty black truffle-infused hot sauces, but I was thrilled to learn they’ve expanded their sauce game. I picked up a bottle of the Spicy TRUFF Mayo and it’s by far my most used condiment. BLTs, burgers, breakfast sandos, I’m basically using this on everything.” Buy: $25/2-pack

NEWHEY Garment Bags
“I bought this just before COVID and finally had a chance to use it last weekend for a wedding. The combination garment/weekender setup and the separate shoe compartment make it perfect for weddings or formal events. It was so popular with my family I ended up buying three more for the rest of the guys.” Buy: $40
– Ben Dahl, Editor

I’m always looking for ways to improve myself. The MindJournal is a daily journal designed to help you build a lifelong journaling habit. With daily guided exercises and a signature check-in tool, I’m journaling every day and working on a happier healthier me. I’d say that’s a pretty good win right there. Buy: $43
