Tales From the Hydian Way

Joshua feels deeply about Jet Packs. We look at how you can use gear that can seem over the top and how to bring it into a cool encounter to showcase it. From the jump boots we just found, to some amazing ideas on what to do with a gravshute, we give a broad idea of where to get ideas from and share a few of our own.
