Essentials: Coyote

That the coyote is often cast as a trickster in Native American myth and legend should come as no surprise—because the wily jackals have an almost supernatural ability to adapt to their environments, and always come out on top.
We’re channeling a little bit of that coyote spirit energy in today’s roundup of gear, all centered around both the coloring and the adaptability of Canis latrans.
Howler Brothers Coyote Pocket Tee
Coyotes are well known for their mournful howls—and that’s paid homage to in the Howler Brothers Coyote Pocket Tee, with an upturned coyote detail on the pocket. It’s made from a hard-wearing but comfortable cotton and polyester blend, with just a touch of contrast stitching at the shoulders for added style points.
GoRuck Bullet Ruck
All of GORUCK’s packs are as tough and tenacious as the venerable coyote, but their Bullet Ruck is also just as portable and adaptable. A perfectly sized 16 liter day pack, it’s ideal for quick trips here, there, and everywhere, all while knowing that your most precious gear is safely stowed away inside its super durable walls.
Danner FullBore Boots
Combining a lightweight and breathable construction with intensely lugged Vibram outsoles, Danner’s FullBore Boots are true to their name. You can take these just about anywhere, from the toughest hikes to the most placid city streets, and stay comfortable and in control the entire time.
5.11 Double Duty Belt
Leather belts are for looking good, but when you need a belt that can get the work done, go for nylon. Specifically, go for 5.11’s Double Duty Belt, made from heavy duty double layer nylon that’s durable, versatile, and resistant to fraying.
Gerber Impromptu Tactical Pen
Coyotes rely on split-second thinking and the resources of their environments to ensure their survival—much like you’ll be able to do with Gerber’s Impromptu Tactical Pen, which can seamlessly transition from writing implement to glass breaker or self defense weapon.
