Everett Headley   02.24.23 This is the time when hopes and dreams reign supreme.  The hurts and misses of last season fade and the anticipation of redemption in the next grows.  But as they say, you gotta pay to play and for hunters this means applications.   If you’re new to hunting out of your home state, it

Nicolas Lenze   02.22.23 What features should a defensive firearm have? Do they all need 17 rounds on board? Is a red dot necessary? While these technological advances have changed what some people consider a minimum standard, remember that many bad guys are underground right now thanks to well-placed shots from gut guns. The idea of a

Eugene L.   02.23.23 Northland Fishing Tackle has just released its new standard Tungsten Jigs and Short-Shank Tungsten Jigs. Northland has always been ahead of the curve when it comes to the newest and most innovative bait and tackle designs that flat-out catch fish. They have always seeked to keep ahead of trends and their in-house innovation

Luke Cuenco   02.21.23 Protecting your scope’s lenses is important for storage and transport but out in the field, a good pair of flip-up lens covers can prove to be invaluable for keeping your glass clear of debris, fog, and moisture so you can use your optic when you’re ready to shoot. ZEISS has just announced their

Nicolas Lenze   02.15.23 When classic bolt-action rifles are discussed, Mauser is guaranteed to come up. Even now, the name conjures images of rifles that many of us lusted after as boys and girls discovering their love of shooting, hunting, and the general outdoors. If the name wasn’t enough nostalgia for you, you should take a look

Morgan Rogue   02.14.23 I love guns. I really do. But lately, I just haven’t felt that ‘fire’ about any of the new firearms coming out lately. That is, until, I had the chance to try out the Ruger SFAR. I have always been a fan of Ruger. My very first carry gun was a Ruger LCP.

Luke Cuenco   02.16.23 Just hitting the market at the beginning of 2023 is the all-new X-Vision TM50. Dubbed the “Infitinty 50” this new monocular sports a high-resolution viewing screen, wi-fi capabilities, and detection on large game at distances of up to 1,200 yards! The new TM50 also features mobile device integration as well as an affordable

Morgan Rogue   02.15.23 I have purchased A LOT of mylar survival blankets in my days. Most of them have been $1 a piece. You know the ol’ saying, “you get what you pay for” well that saying couldn’t be more true when it comes to the cheap, $1 mylar survival blankets. Don’t get me wrong, in

Nicolas Lenze   02.15.23 In the ammunition space, there are major players making major advances in cartridge design and materials. The same can be said for the shotshell world. This year, Federal Ammunition has stomped the competition, earning the Predator Xtreme Gold award for Best Shotshell. Federal coverage on OutdoorHub “Federal is proud to be crowned gold

Nicolas Lenze   02.09.23 Putting a bullet where it belongs is the most important aspect of shooting. When we start shooting at live targets, terminal performance enters the chat. Effective bullets can be the difference between a downed animal and a long hike to find it. Speer’s Impact bullet is made to do exactly that, and is

Morgan Rogue   02.09.23 Water storage is the biggest pain point when it comes to preparedness. In general, I recommend two gallons of water per person, per day. This is because one gallon may only be enough for drinking. Water is used for drinking, cooking, cleaning and hygiene. While you may take fewer showers or baths, you’ll

Nicolas Lenze   02.10.23 Interior. Night. The scene opens with a hunter, sleeping. It’s the night before they leave for their big hunt three states over. What’s wrong? Why is the hunter so sweaty? That’s because our friendly hunter is having the same nightmare that I have when flying with a rifle. No matter how inexperienced a

Morgan Rogue   02.10.23 I’m outdoors a lot and because of this, I didn’t want an Apple watch or even a FitBit, I wanted something with more features and could be more rugged and quite frankly, fit my lifestyle better. I’ve tried the other smartwatches before and nothing has even come close to the Garmin Instinct 2

Morgan Rogue   02.09.23 I worked at a sporting goods store for a while and before working there, I had zero knowledge about what made a scope a good scope. I knew scopes existed, but at the time hadn’t done much hunting or anything else that really required a scope. We mostly had red dots on our

Morgan Rogue   02.08.23 Lion Energy is an innovator in renewable energy for your whole house and on the go. They are constantly revolutionizing the way people can stay powered no matter what happens in life. When I first saw the Lion Trek, I got genuinely excited. I have a lot of solar power banks and even

Morgan Rogue   02.07.23 Living in a cold climate, underlayers are essential. But even in a warmer climate when it’s colder outside, this is a great top layer between 40-50 degree days. When I first received the Women’s Stratos Full Zip by 5.11 Tactical, it made an immediate impression on me. It’s soft, lightweight, and it’s a
