The stuff used by the channel to bring the sound of me, to you.

Channel Equipment

Shelf-stable food things that I've enjoyed.

Good Things to Eat

Expensive and weird-looking, but surprisingly good! A handy little lunchtime option.

Wild Planet Ready-To-Eat Wild Tuna Pasta Salad With Organic Red Peppers, Tomatoes & Green Olives, Tuna Salad, 5.6oz, Pack Of 4

Freeze-dried, 30 year lifespan, but flavorful and handy in a pinch!

Mountain House Chili Mac with Beef | Freeze Dried Backpacking & Camping Food | Survival & Emergency Food

Dutch Cripbake Original (Light Crisp Toast) 3.5oz (Pack of 6)

Satoh's Kirimochi (Rice Cake) 35.3oz [Japan Import]

Nongshim Shin Ramyun Black with Premium Beef Broth, 4.58 Ounce (Pack of 10)

Very high quality, and rather quiet when turned to a slower setting.

Vornado 723DC Energy Smart Full-Size Air Circulator Fan with Variable Speed Control, White, Large

Nordic Ware Half Sheet Prism Baking, 2 Pack, Natural

Heavy, but oh so comfortable for a camping chair!

ALPS Mountaineering King Kong Camping Chairs for Adults with Mesh Cup Holders and Pockets, Built Durable and Reliable with Compact Foldable Steel Frame

Surprisingly durable as a simple workspace.

ALPS Mountaineering Simmer Table

Sony MDREX15LP in-Ear Earbud Headphones

Despite my initial reservations, I must admit it works well!

Instant Pot Duo Plus 9-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker, Slow Cooker, Rice Cooker, Steamer, Sauté, Yogurt Maker, Warmer & Sterilizer, Includes App With Over 800 Recipes, Stainless Steel, 6 Quart

OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Scraper & Chopper,Silver/Black

Lodge cookware is tough (and heavy), I was worried about damaging it at first, but it's very durable and can be safely scrubbed as long as you dry it off well. Get the lid as well!

Lodge Cast Iron Skillet with Red Silicone Hot Handle Holder, 12-inch

My most recent microphone acquisition! The sound is great, though the price is steep. 😅

Shure KSM44A

I have the 80 ohm version specifically as it was recommended to me by a few other VAs. I'm especially fond of the plush ear cups which make extended recording sessions very comfortable. The cord is not replaceable which worries me, but it's held up well so far!

beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro (80 OHM)

The microphone I've used the longest on the channel, good for deeper voices.

Shure SM7B

The backup microphone for the channel, better for mid-range stuff.

Shure MV7

A high-sensitivity condenser microphone that I use when I need to pick up very soft sounds since the Shure microphones aren't so good at that.

Logitech for Creators Blue Ember XLR Condensor Microphone

I'm using a pair of these for recording binaural effects!

Shure SM48 Cardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone with Shock-Mounted Cartridge, Steel Mesh Grille and Integral Pop Filter, A25D Mic Clip, Storage Bag, 3-pin XLR Connector, No Cable Included (SM48-LC)

This one I purchased to do a product review, and from my testing I'd say it's a reasonably well-built microphone at a good price point. With proper technique, I think it would work fine for many.

Behringer SL 85S Dynamic Cardioid Microphone with Switch

The audio interface everything plugs into. Previously, I was using the Gen 3 version, and am now on the Gen 4 version. Both are reliable choices!

Focusrite Scarlett 2i2

It's a rugged and reliable boom arm for holding up heavier microphones. The spring tension is quite strong, so it's capable of handling complicated setups with minimal fuss!

Gator Boom Arm

The backup boom arm I use when I need to mount multiple microphones. Still a solid workhorse that I'd recommend.

Rode PSA1

Amazon Basics Adjustable Boom Height Microphone Stand with Tripod Base, Up to 85.75 Inches - Black

It's a decent windscreen, though not exceptional. Works well for the SM-48S microphones!

Shure A58WS-BLK Foam Windscreen

Surprisingly helpful things for the microphones.

Mic Stand Extension Tube 4 Pieces 5/8 Inch Microphone Extension Pipe Aluminium Alloy Stand Extenders Screw Boom Tubes Microphone Extension Rod with 2 Metal Adapters for Desk Stand Arm Stand, Black

How I make (rare) edits to my channel artwork.

Wacom Intuos Small Graphics Drawing Tablet, includes Training & Software; 4 Customizable ExpressKeys Compatible With Chromebook Mac Android & Windows, drawing, photo/video editing, design & education

Amazon Basics 2-Pack XLR Microphone Cable for Speaker or PA System, All Copper Conductors, 6MM PVC Jacket, 6 Foot, Black

Used in the early days of the channel, a great choice for many.

Blue Yeti USB Microphone

8Bitdo Zero 2 Bluetooth Gamepad Keychain Sized Mini Controller

US Cargo Control 65 lb/dozen, 80"x72" Large Heavy Duty Moving Blanket

Overkill, my experience has been that this is cool for fine-tuning, but very unnecessary 90% of the time.

Cloud Microphones - Cloudlifter CL-Z - Vari-Z Mic Activator

One of the ways I stay hydrated. Very portable!

Canteen, 1-Quart, USGI Issue, NSN 8465-01-115-0026, OD Green, with M1 NBC Cap

Expensive plugins that help to fix my mistakes. Be sure to wait for a sale, as the prices on these go down a lot for brief periods each year. While I use the "Advanced" version and like it a lot, I believe that the "Elements" version is more than sufficient for most needs at 1/12th the price! I've been using iZotope since RX9, and before it was acquired by Native Instruments.

iZotope RX 11 Advanced

One of the many ways I try to keep my accounts from getting hacked.

Security Key NFC by Yubico

Expensive, and the features are hit-and-miss. I've now had two of these break on me and no longer recommend them.
