Professional Gear Reviews
One of the most important pieces of a survival kit is your fire-starting gear. As with any essential piece of gear, it’s also important to have contingency options. For example, my fire-starting gear consists of a Bic lighter, ferro-rod, and UCO stormproof matches. If and when one of these options fail, I can rely on […]
Just wrapped up watching the new Highwaymen movie on Netflix. The movie is about the two former Texas Rangers who brought down Bonnie and Clyde. I wouldn’t necessarily call it an action movie, due to the lack of action. It’s more of a story of the hunt and how they tracked down Bonnie and Clyde, […]

Anytime you travel to remote areas, communication is often compromised. It’s a concern I have wherever I may be. As a former Ranger, communication was paramount for a successful mission. Nothing has changed since those days except the technology. Even with modern smart phones, travel to countries with a limited network will render them useless. […]

As turkey seasons are opening across the country, I find myself packing for my second trip of the season. I was lucky enough to be a part of a group trip to Florida to hunt Osceolas and test a bunch of products new to the market. Some were new in 2018, others are probably just […]
