Here is a small page chronicling the advancement of my adventure gear over the course of the past twelve years or so. The earliest photos will not be up for quite some time. At the bottom of this page are pictures of some of my older gear with descriptions. NEW GEAR PHOTOS HERE. |

December 14th, 2001: This picture, taken at the Rainforest Cafe at Disneyland in Anaheim, California, chronicles the first Indiana Jones Summit. I am on the far left with my brand new 10' David Morgan bullwhip over my shoulder, my now retired Peter Bros. fedora on, and my previously unpictured Noel Howard belts and holster. The other six Indys (clockwise from the upper right) are Jonesy, Mike, Stephen, MK, Rundquist, and Indiana Jun. All great guys! |

2000: I traded the Insider fedora for a Stetson Indy, acquired a MKVII bag, a new and better shirt, a Wested Raiders jacket, a new leather belt to provide me with a separate gunbelt of sorts, and a Colt M1917 .38 caliber with a 6" barrel (unfortunately not pictured) from WWI courtesy of my grandfather who was given it by his father who served in the Great War as a biplane pilot!

Here I stand in my adventure gear as of February 2001. Notice the addition of a Noel Howard holster, pants belt, and Last Crusade style whip holder. This was just weeks before the acquisition of my Raiders gunbelt and Peter Bros. fedora. (Photo by Lucas Sanders) |

May 1998: An Insider fedora, an Ellington shoulder bag, some standard khakis, an R.E.I. field shirt, a slide belt, a modified Popular Mechanics tape measure holster as a whip holder (which holds a bullwhip EXTREMELY WELL I might add!), and my trusty Mark Allen nylon 10' bullwhip (a very solid whip).

The trusty Ellington Rucksack which served as my shoulder bag for many years. It was given to me by my uncle, Steve French. |

My Mark Allen 10' swivel handled nylon bullwhip. This whip was given to me by my grandfather, Charles French, who was quite the whip cracker in his youth in the 1930s. This style has been discontinued by Mr. Allen. |

Sure, it's not as pretty as a Noel Howard or Lee Keppler holder, but this is easily the BEST whip holder I have ever had. After it is cut down, it has the ability to wrap around the whip handle before snapping closed, providing the whip with an extremely secure "cradle" to ride in. There have been times where I have been running at a dead sprint with this holder at my belt, and the whip hardly shifts and never falls! The only drawback is the fact that aesthetically, the whip hangs too low on the belt. |
