About: Gents… my name is Dusty. To date, I have been resident amongst the masses of Gear Patrol devotees. Now, I have received a different calling. My charge is to shrug off the casual and carefree life of one who solely reads; I am to eschew the selfish pleasures man-info consumption, and to, instead, contribute mighty works of journalistic prowess suitable for the enlightenment of the Gear Patrol audience.
I’m sure that we would all agree that Gear Patrol shines as a bright beacon in the world of Men’s Lifestyle and Leisure. With numerous other sites and magazines vying for your attention, you read Gear Patrol because it cuts through the worthless flotsam and jetsam the other sites and blogs rehash day in and day out, bringing you a unique perspective on the latest gizmos and whatnots that matter to you. Well, it just so happens that I majored in gizmos and minored in whatnots.
Hopefully, my background and experiences will allow me to deliver piping-hot and tasty content direct to you from my areas of expertise. I was schooled in the beautiful Southeastern U.S. of A. There I spent only a modicum of time in actual class; instead wisely opting to hone other skills such as video game dominance (Ed: Dusty’s GoldenEye skills were unparalleled - full stop), media and entertainment studies, and indulging my competitive nature.
Post graduation, I sojourned for three years in southern Germany. There, I garnered a great appreciation for European culture as well as their longstanding brewing traditions/skills. Needless to say, travel is up there on my list of personal passions. Now I am back in the States where, by day, I work in sales and marketing in the construction industry. Also, I’m an on-again, off-again runner who enjoys many outdoor activities, preeminent among them being a fanatical, though rarely fantastical, golfer.
That being said, you may have to indulge some of my written idiosyncrasies. If my posts get too wacky, surely someone will let me know (Eric?). I plan to bring a bit of wit and wisdom to a community that clearly already has them in spades. Fellow readers, I shall do you proud by helping advance Gear Patrol in advancing you. After all, it’s a good bet that at least some of what entertains me just might entertain you too.

Well, gents, the glorious month of Movember is nearly upon us. In case you are unfamiliar, Movember is a worldwide opportunity to overtake the month formerly known as November to raise awareness of men’s health issues and the garner donations to combat prostate and testicular cancers. How does Movember make that happen? By encouraging men everywhere to grow a mustache. Clearly this is something that the men of Gear Patrol can get with. Oh, yeah, and we’re inviting you to join us.
In short, we’re wholeheartedly of the opinion that if you can fight cancer, you should. Especially if your definition of fight is growing a badass mustache.

From there on out, you’ll want to work the entire month the grow the most glorious lip-jacket that you can muster.

Let the creeper look begin
The other day I saw a lady at Meijer with a thicker mustache than I'll ever have o_O
Ian, that just means you need to show her (and the other Meijer patrons) just who's boss when it comes to the stache.
Just keep your distance from any children.
I choose to support Novem-beard instead.
it'll be great to see what my catfish whisker like stash will look like at the end of the month….
The Mo-mentum (couldn't resist) is building. 7 team members. 2 days left to kick off. The more the merrier.
Make that eight.
