If you could have only one blade, one handgun, and one long gun, to survive an economic collapse where there was no electricity, no food on the shelves, no water in the faucet, etc, what would you choose? That’s the question that I posed to you last week. I wanted to hear your selection, your choices, […]

“Ok, it’s the Zombie Apocalypse. You can have three weapons: one blade, one handgun, and one long gun. What would they be?” That was the question I heard one teenage boy pose to his friends recently. These are good boys who like roughing it and have a bent toward camping and survival. A healthy bent […]

Imagine that you awoke in the middle of the night to the sounds of someone trying to jimmy the lock on your door. The sounds gets louder and louder as the intruder gets frustrated and cares less about being heard than about getting inside your home. Since grade school we’ve been taught to call for […]

You’ve taken the necessary training, you’ve practiced at the range, and you’ve attended the requisite Concealed Carry Permit course and passed the test. Now you […]

In days of old young boys ran free through streets and fields wielding their home made slingshots with the expertise and precision of diminutive archers. Plunking and plinking tin cans and small game, alas it seems those days are over, or are they?

“I got a 12-point buck this past weekend. It was a beast; field dressed at 190 pounds! Man, you should have seen this thing stomping through the hardwoods looking for acorns.” If you know an avid hunter, you’ve undoubtedly heard similar stories and you’ve probably seen your share of pictures proving your friend’s hunting prowess.
