Kicking things off

Howdy! I’m Travis, Founder and Head Honcho at Studly Stuff. Emphatically welcoming you to the all new resourse for men. I’ve had a calling on my heart to start something new; therefore, I decided to take action and create Studly Stuff. Many men are out there struggling. Struggling with addiction, depression, or just ‘living quiet lives of desperation’ as Henry David Thoreau put it in his book Walden. My hope is that I can help a few men out there find their inner stud and become better men.

We’ll have some honest conversations man-to-man while we also check out some quality gear. The best products help us live our lives to the fullest. Think of the hiking boots that can help you get to the peak of the mountain for that proposal or the jacket that gives you the confidence to nail your job interview. Those experiences are made better because of the products we buy.


Life is hard, your Gear shouldn’t be

You’ve been through the sales gimmicks, chased the fads, and always looked for the next big thing. We men oftentimes go for the cheapest gear and end up having the cheapest experience. Have you bought a cheap flashlight ahead of a hiking trip, just to have it not work the morning of? There’s a big difference between being cheap and frugal.

Cheap = insanity/buying the least expensive product over and over again expecting a different result. Frugal is being smart with your money and buying quality (and studly) gear that lasts. Have you buy a Carhartt? Congrats! You now have one for life. Showcasing quality products that enhance our manly lives is part of our mission. Whether you’re going on a trophy hunt, prepping the grill for a cookout, or designing your man cave decor, Studly Stuff has the best gear available. Our core belief is that quality products will lead to quality experiences. That’s where the studly lifestyle takes root.


Why Studly?

Why the name Studly Stuff, you ask? Well, because being studly is a characteristic what we men should all strive for. Merriam-Webster defines Studly as ‘Attractively Masculine’. What defines attractive? What defines masculine? Everyone has an opinion of what they find attractive. Society today argues over “Toxic Masculinity.” Here, we define studly as someone strong, not only physically, but mentally. Someone who can carry the burden for others. A friend who supports you through a divorce, loss of a job, or death of a family member. The man you viewed as a hero, not because he had superpowers, but because he was a leader among men. That’s attractively masculine, and that’s what you call a stud.


Studly Lifestyle

Life is short, you should be awake for most of it. Drink the coffee, have the beer, do the pushups, kiss the girl, and live like you don’t have a save button. Think of the rodeo bronc rider. The brave soul slides into the chute knowing the event could kill him, but he holds on for the thrill of the ride anyway. There’s only one shot, with a small chance of success, but the bronc rider goes forward. He relies on his wits, and his gear, with a large amount of hope that the bronc gives him a good show.

That’s what a studly lifestyle is all about! Find your purpose like the cowboy finds the bronc. Whatever your story might be, find the men and the gear to push you through it. Trust your gut, and your gear, and have faith in moving forward. You only have to hold on for 8 seconds. Might as well make it an exciting 8 seconds.


Man on a Mission

Our mission here is simple: to provide you with the best information on studly products and the studly lifestyle. We want to help you make informed decisions about the manly products you buy and how to best integrate them into your daily life. Men are often nothing without their gear. Where would men be now without the invention of the wheel? How would our superheroes like Batman, Ironman, and others fight the villain without their gadgets. Find your superpower with some new gear at Studly Stuff.

We’ll have fun with lots of satire and some great products. Whatever your father, brother, or friend hasn’t taught you, we hope to help with that. We’re always adding something new, so give us a like, send us a message, and heck, send me an article and you might be featured.
