I began this year by selecting a new hunting area. The timber company land I have been hunting for the last few years has continued to raise its usage fees. These fees were making the already expensive sport of hunting, even more expensive. So, the new area had to have everything I wanted to hunt; […]
Anyone who is part of a profession or hobby that involves bad guys, the outdoors, or hunting adventures can benefit from access to a dependable knife. My personal preference has always been a fixed-blade knife. There are less moving parts (less chance of malfunction) and it generally only involves one action to utilize it (drawing it […]

After years in the military, I wasn’t going to let a little rain spoil my […]
