This new dude Kevin is a tough mudder…
About a month ago, my comfortable, spacious workplace was invaded by a big, bearded, jolly dude named Kevin. We brought Kevin on board as a customer service and sales representative, and he seems to be fitting in quite well. Like any recently-moved-in-together-couple, we have our moments, but all-in-all, it’s been good.
So last week, Kevin came [...]
Chicks Rock, PTec Agrees, and you should too.
Are you like me? Do you love chicks that get outside, get dirt under their fingernails, sweat, and have an unparalleled sense for adventure and sport? Are you possibly one of these chicks?!
If you answered “yes” to any of the above, then you probably also think that Chicks Climbing is a freakin’ awesome organization. Promoting [...]
Oh, Kalen doesn’t like Shark Fin Soup either… weird.
So before posting my rant on Shark Fin Soup yesterday, I sent an email to Kalen, our dive sales rep and inhouse Scuba instructor. Here is the email–

Body: SHARK FIN SOUP?
Here’s his response:
“Initially, I feel that at one time or another, every person has taken the life of an animal [...]
Tuesday Morning Rant. Shark Finning, the Geek no likey.
I stumbled across this article yesterday, and my mind has been fuming for the past 24 hours. As a diver, I know firsthand that witnessing a predator as beautiful, sleek, majestic, and intimidating as a shark in its natural habitat induces a feeling that cannot be duplicated. Once you spot a shark, whether it’s a [...]
More headlamp evolution, brought to you by PTec

Where does our inspiration come from? From the PTec nation, our users. Year after year we receive constant feedback, small tweaks or huge overalls that would improve the [...]
Jay P crushes Iditarod Bike Record
By now, all of you guys should know that we sponsor some of the baddest outdoors athletes on the planet. Few are closer to the pinnacle of extreme outdoors achievements than long time friend and PTec sponsor, Jay Petervary.
Just last week, Jay P added another feather in his cap of awesomeness, as he completed the [...]
PTec Proud: National Trails Day 2011
We’ve said it a million times; the best part about working for Princeton Tec is the ability to work in the same markets we love to play in. Growing up in rural New Jersey and Pennsylvania, the guys and girls at PTec spent most of their young lives playing outside, and never stopped. So naturally, [...]
The Geek Diaries: The Best Dive I ever Dove
I’ve admitted it several times before. I am a dive snob. Don’t blame me, blame my parents. Or blame the fact that the only diving you can do in Pennsylvania is in abandoned quarries that never get warmer than 65º, whatever.
Yesterday morning there was a solid half inch of ice covering my entire car. Frozen [...]
Begin with One Step – Wise Words from Eric Larsen
For the past 12 months, Eric Larsen has been training, preparing, exploring, and pushing himself to the limits. All why freezing his ass off. But according to Eric, now that he’s back from his journey to both poles and the summit of Everest (all in less than twelve months, by the way), the real work [...]
World AIDS Day – how are you fighting the fight?
It’s been a pretty incredible journey for Victor Mooney, and it is still just beginning. In honor of fallen family members and friends, Victor will be attempting to row from Africa to New York City in an effort to complete the Goree Challenge and raise money for AIDS prevention and research. Despite two previously failed [...]
