I love growing beans, but bean trellises can be cumbersome and difficult to build. Bean teepees, on the other hand, are a creative and efficient means of supporting your pole beans. And they’re easy to build! Pole beans need to twine some kind of a support or pole, so giving them a teepee to grow on will make a nice addition to your garden. Beans germinate and grow quickly, so it won’t take long to enjoy your work! In this article, we’ll talk about how to build a bean teepee for your pole beans. We’ll also talk about the best…
The cool stream gurgled next to us as we backpacked along a single-track dirt trail, the spring runoff making its way down from the Continental Divide. After 10 miles and more than 1,000 feet of elevation climbing through a remote gully in rural Northern Colorado, I take the new Outdoor Vitals Carbon Evo 50 backpack off and stretch my neck and shoulders. I’m pleased to find that my feet are more sore than my back — a clear indication that this ultralight pack can carry weight with ease. The Carbon Evo 50 targets thru-hikers, fastpackers, and long-weekend backpackers who want…
Let me start by saying that I’m grateful for what President Trump and his administration have done for gun rights. They’ve already done more to defend the Second Amendment than any administration in my lifetime, and I really do appreciate that. But we also need to acknowledge that the bar wasn’t that difficult for the administration to clear. It’s not so much that they’ve been that great, but that everyone who came before them sucked even worse. That’s it.And while I can appreciate what they’ve done, that doesn’t mean I’m beholden in some way to…
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog. It is difficult to believe the pace at which global events are now moving. Apocalyptic threats are being thrown around recklessly, and severe damage is being done to the global economic system every single day. A lot of people still seem to think that economic conditions will snap back to normal once the war ends, and that is because they don’t understand the level of destruction that has already taken place. Even if the war ends tomorrow and commercial traffic starts flowing freely through the Strait of…
As things currently stand, the tide is largely against gun grabbers in much of the country. More than half of the states have some form of permitless carry, the Department of Justice is going after at least some local and state governments over their anti-gun measures, and Congress just isn’t interested in passing gun control. But today’s status quo is tomorrow’s ancient history.Colorado’s idea of regulating gun barrel purchases as if they’re guns is stupid and problematic, to say the least. We all know it. However, let’s understand that bad ideas never stay in one…
Iran is accusing Israel of attacking Hezbollah even after the ceasefire was agreed upon. Iranian media outlets have reported that Tehran was suspending tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz and was considering pulling out of the deal with Washington over Israel’s actions in Lebanon. The United States has denied that the vital waterway has been closed again. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said President Trump was aware of reports saying the strait had been closed, but said the reports “are false,” reported CBS News. It isn’t just Israel, either. Iran has also accused the U.S. of violating multiple…

The Illinois Supreme Court is facing a lawsuit by a former Cook County judge who was canned for writing a column supportive of President Trump when he was not even on the bench, but as NRA board member Todd Vandermyde pointed out on social media, the state’s highest court has at least one justice who’s engaged in some blatant partisan politicking of her own without losing her job. Former Cook County Judge James R. Brown retired in 2020 but was brought back by the Illinois Supreme Court five years later, assigning him to Cook County’s…
Cody Roberts, 44, was sentenced Wednesday to 18 months of supervised probation after pleading guilty to felony animal cruelty in the Wyoming wolf case that exploded into one of the state’s most notorious wildlife controversies in recent memory. The sentence includes a suspended prison term of up to 2 years, a $1,000 fine, and additional court costs and surcharges. If Roberts violates probation, he could still be sent to prison. The case stems from Feb. 29, 2024, when Roberts used a snowmobile to run down and maim a wolf in Sublette County. He then taped the animal’s mouth shut, brought…
With more than a dozen gun-related bills on the schedule, the Rhode Island House Judiciary committee met for hours on Wednesday afternoon and evening, with hundreds of Second Amendment supporters descending on the statehouse beforehand to urge lawmakers to oppose the vast majority of the bills. It’s hard to say what’s the worst gun control bill up for debate in Rhode Island this year, because so many of them are flagrant attacks on lawful gun owners. The bill that’s received the most attention, though, is HB 8073, which would force current owners of so-called assault…
This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge under the title: Saudi Arabia’s Oil Pipeline To Red Sea Hit By Drone Attack Just As Hegseth Declares ‘Overwhelming Victory’ Against Iran. Summary: The Hegseth/Caine presser, as expected, declared ‘victory’ in Iran while Gen. Caine emphasized the ceasefire is a “pause,” but US forces remain “ready to resume combat.“ Hegseth says, “The military will be hanging around in Iran, won’t go anywhere, and will make sure Iran complies. Caine hails that the US has destroyed Iran’s defense-industrial base, including over 80% of missile facilities gone, and its navy lies at…
The most shocking thing about Illinois’s passing an assault weapon ban wasn’t that they did it, but that they hadn’t done it before. I mean, it’s an anti-gun state that has no regard for the right to keep and bear arms, so it was kind of surprising they hadn’t shut down ownership of things like AR-15s decades ago. As we routinely say, though, such laws don’t stop criminals. They stop the law-abiding.Anti-gunners argue otherwise, obviously, but the truth of the matter is that we’re right and they’re wrong. In fact, not only do thugs in…
The U.S. Army has frozen plans to close more than two dozen of its museums after Congress passed legislation barring the service from doing so without formal justification and lawmaker approval.The U.S. Army Center of Military History said in a statement it “has paused all previously announced changes to the Army Museum Enterprise, including proposed museum closures, in accordance with the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act and the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2026.”The Plan to Close Army MuseumsThe Center of Military History announced the plan in June 2025, calling for the Army Museum Enterprise to downsize from 41 facilities to…
