Gear I Actually Love Using
- Starlink Mini – Game changer for off-grid comms and camping. I’ve got mine in a hard case from Harbor Freight that I turned into a portable “grab-and-go” kit. Total peace of mind when the power or Internet drops.
- Tecsun PL-880 World Band Radio – If you know, you know. Shortwave radio is one of those underrated tools in a preparedness kit that I think more people should get into.
🌲 Outdoor Peace & Preparedness
- I’ve been slowly building up our off-grid readiness plans—fuel storage, water purification, solar battery packs. It’s not about paranoia—it’s about peace of mind. And there’s something satisfying about knowing my family is ready if things go sideways.
- With spring here time outdoors and fire bowls become a much needed stress reducer.
Tunes & Vibes
Music is one of those things that gets me through the grind. Whether I’m heads-down on network configs, relaxing at home, or deep in devotional writing mode, there’s always something playing in the background. Here’s what’s been in rotation lately:
- Moonlight Remixes – Something about those dance beats fused with older tracks just clicks. Perfect mix of nostalgia and energy.
- Pogo – Still love how he pieces together sound like digital origami. Quirky, creative, and surprisingly deep at times.
- Andy Hunter – His stuff’s been a soundtrack for late-night system updates and writing sprints. Classic electronic with a purpose.
- Peyton Parrish
- I Can Only Imagine (Remix) – Haunting and powerful.
- Monster (Remix) – Straight energy—gritty vocals and driving rhythm that somehow fits a spiritual battlefield.
- K-LOVE Radio – A reliable go-to, especially when I just need solid encouragement without overthinking the playlist.
And here are a few more Christian hits that are either currently charting or always in the mix for me:
- “Gratitude” – Brandon Lake
- “Fear Is Not My Future” – Maverick City Music & Kirk Franklin
- “Holy Forever” – Chris Tomlin
- “I Believe” – Phil Wickham
- “Firm Foundation (He Won’t)” – Cody Carnes
- “My God Can” – Katy Nichole & Naomi Raine
- “Praise You Anywhere” – Brandon Lake
- “Come Jesus Come” – Stephen McWhirter
- “Don’t Stop Praying” – Matthew West
- “Good God” – CAIN
