Ben Ryder 03.31.23 Over the past couple of years we have absolutely fallen in love with hunting suppressed. Typically, when you think of suppressors, your mind drifts to fully kitted out “operators” running and gunning. The reality is, hunting is likely the absolute perfect application for a civilian to use a suppressor and get the full
As extreme weather events have become more common across the country, more and more of us are finding ourselves without power, often for extended periods. Zendure looks to address those outages with the SuperBase V, a massive power station that serves as the hub for a modular energy system that can provide enough electricity to
My wife and I spent our honeymoon at the winter lodge in Yellowstone National Park. After a week of cross-country skiing to photograph the geysers, waterfalls and wildlife, we spent a few days in West Yellowstone, Montana. I had heard of the Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center, an Association of Zoos & Aquariums-accredited wildlife park,
Teardrop trailers have a unique history in the United States. They became popular after World War II when the economy was strong, and scrap metal was easily found to build them. We were aggressively expanding the highway system at that time, and people started traveling more than ever before. Teardrop trailers have always been tied
Andy Husek 03.30.23 At the beginning of every year my colleagues and I leave SHOT completely worn out from late nights with industry friends who we likely haven’t seen in a year. However, we are also invigorated to get back in the field and try out all the new products announced at the convention by our
You may be a pretty strong hiker — but wouldn’t you be even stronger if you were bionic? That was the burning question for the developers of Hypershell, a so-called “exoskeleton” that claims to imbue its wearer with augmented physical gifts. According to the company’s extensive Kickstarter pitch, the one-horsepower wearable device “offsets 30 kg
Aerial adventure parks—also know as high ropes courses—offer people the chance to travel treetop to treetop on a variety of rope, wood and cable bridges and obstacles. Aerial parks are growing in number across the country as more people find the rewards of these challenges. These parks often feature elements such as zip lines, rope
Keith Lusher 03.29.23 I’m sure you’re familiar with the stereotype that people in Louisiana fry everything. Well, I’m here to tell you there is a lot of truth to that statement. If I had to estimate a percentage of households in Louisiana that own a deep fryer, it would have to fall in the range of
Those of us who like to take photos in the woods, whether professional or amateur, often carry bulky gear and DSLRs. That means choosing between carrying the weight in your hands or around your neck. Or you can let it ride comfortably in your backpack — only to miss a scenic nature shot as you
Get the viewers of your landscapes to feel as if they can walk into your photographs. Make them feel like they were with you when you clicked the shutter. Have them feel they read your thoughts and became part of your experience. Allow them to become one with the photo. An excellent way to engage
Keith Lusher 03.28.23 Speckled trout anglers in south Louisiana have come a long way from the traditional sparkle beetles made by H&H Lure Company. In recent years we’ve seen a plethora of new baits specially designed to be fished in Louisiana’s Unique brackish waters. Lures such as Matrix Shad, Deadly Dudley, and Mirrolures have without a
There is nothing more disheartening than losing your outdoor gear. Whether it’s stolen, accidentally left behind, or lost in a horrific accident, the feeling is always the same when you realize your equipment is gone: total defeat, with a dash of frustration. YETI understands this. It’s why the brand, made famous for its bombproof, bear-resistant

Everett Headley 03.27.23 Castaway. 127 Hours. Into the Wild. These and other adventure and survival movies engage us with a sense of urgency and mortality. However, they would be significantly shorter, and certainly less interesting, if each protagonist carried a satellite messenger. I don’t want to ruin the movie magic, but with a click of a
Steep cliffs and pillows peppered the venue, a zone in Selkirk Tangiers Heli Skiing’s territory, so much so that Rice admitted it was barely contestable. The face was so spicy it felt like we’d gobbled a handful of habaneros just watching the livestream. (If you missed the Natural Selection event, check the highlights below.) Twelve
