Sixteen American soldiers killed on D-Day were interred in a communal grave at Omaha National Cemetery last week, on May 7, more than 81 years after a mine blast and fire aboard their landing craft kept them from ever reaching the beaches of Normandy. The soldiers had been aboard Landing Craft, Infantry (Large)-92, a Coast Guard-manned vessel carrying roughly 200 Army troops toward Omaha Beach on the morning of June 6, 1944. Their remains had spent decades buried together as unknowns at the Normandy American Cemetery in France before the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency exhumed them in 2021 for forensic…

Runners won’t want to miss this week’s batch of gear, especially as we prepare ourselves for summer heat. From graphene running apparel and special-edition smartwatches to vests, shoes, and hydration powder, brands clearly know that plenty of people are about to hit the roads and trails now that the sun has arrived in plenitude. But there’s some other fun stuff here, too. Anglers and water-sports lovers have two new pairs of boots to ogle, outdoor chefs will salivate over some fancy hibachi grills, and anyone who loves Smokey Bear (trick question: everybody loves Smokey) has some pretty awesome camping chairs from…
While many in the gun-rights community are hailing the proposed federal rule that would permit gun buyers to do much of the purchasing process remotely and even have guns shipped to their homes, one pro-liberty group is cautioning that the move is just a step in the right direction — not a complete solution to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ many problems. The pro-gun organization Texas Gun Rights (TXGR) is warning its members not to get too excited about the proposed rule change. “Compared to the nonstop gun confiscation agenda pushed by the Biden Administration, this proposal…
Merino wool is a pretty magical fabric. It wicks away moisture, resists odors, and helps thermoregulate (that is, it’s breathable). We’ve worn hundreds of garments made from this wonder fiber, and listed 13 best-of-the-best merino wool shirts out there today. In the last year of testing alone, guide manager Nick Belcaster has taken out 10+ layers across the Pacific Northwest on more than eight months of continuous field use. Some merino shirts are technical thoroughbreds that thrive in high-output backcountry use, while others, like our top pick, the Ibex Naturalist, are downright versatile for year-round wear. We’ve also found having…
This month has seen two serious bear encounters involving hikers in American national parks, and the unfortunate incidents have now become a political talking point. Following an apparent fatal bear encounter in Glacier National Park and a separate grizzly bear attack in Yellowstone National Park, Congressman Ryan Zinke (R-Mont.) has renewed the call to delist the grizzly bear as a protected species. What Happened After a May 4 bear incident on Yellowstone National Park’s Mystic Falls Trail, the National Park Service (NPS) announced temporary closures on May 5 and said on May 7 that those closures remained in effect. Two…
Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger may have inadvertently given opponents of the state’s soon-to-be-enacted “assault firearm” ban some legal ammunition to use in their fight to get the new law declared unconstitutional. Spanberger released a statement explaining her rationale for signing the gun and magazine ban bill into law, and while most of it is the same eye-rolling nonsense we’ve heard from anti-gunners for decades, there was one line that’s pretty intriguing. Here is @GovernorVA’s statement on her decision to sign the assault weapons ban.“I am signing this bill into law because firearms designed to inflict maximum casualties…
If you’re shopping for a new car, and want a sedan with a hybrid powertrain as your chosen method of transport, both the Honda Civic and the Toyota Corolla offer electrically assisted variants that are likely on your shortlist. Both these cars have plenty to offer, and can make a great choice for drivers who want a family vehicle but aren’t interested in an SUV or crossover. What The Corolla Hybrid Has To Offer Over The Civic Hybrid Credit: Toyota 2026 Toyota Corolla Hybrid 2026 Honda Civic Hybrid Powertrain 1.8-liter inline-four + 1/2 electric motors 2.0-liter inline-four + 2 electric motors…
My first suppressor was a traditional K-baffle user-serviceable design, and honestly, it never felt overly complicated to me. I’d take it apart after a good range session, brush everything down, and put it back together. At the same time, I can totally see the appeal of a monocore design. Sometimes you just want to yank out one solid core, give it a quick clean, and be done. Both styles get the job done when it comes to quieting your rifle or pistol, but they each bring their own trade-offs depending on how you shoot and how much maintenance you actually…

Connecticut passed its Glock ban, which doesn’t just impact Glocks. They did it, as per usual, in the name of public safety, all while failing to ignore the facts that criminals aren’t supposed to have guns in the first place and that the full-auto switches are illegal to buy, own, or possess without very specific licenses that most people will never have. They passed it just the same.In Connecticut, though, one letter to the editor took issue with a bit of hate thrown at a state lawmaker because of a simple question that no one…
As a San Diego native, I’ll never forgive the Chargers for leaving. But credit where credit’s due, the franchise’s social media team has been on a roll when it comes to its NFL schedule release, to the point where everyone looks forward to and anticipates what theme the next one might take on. This year, the Chargers may have outdone themselves with an NFL schedule release video that will be of particular interest to gamers and is packed with a lot of hilarious details. In a stroke of genius, the Los Angeles Chargers’ NFL schedule release video is composed of…
In March, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) celebrated a major milestone. It purchased 45 all-terrain, electric-powered wheelchairs so that everyone could get out and enjoy the outdoors. It was a huge step toward adaptive access to Indiana’s public lands and a major investment. Each chair is valued at nearly $20,000. On April 30, less than a month after the program launched, thieves broke into storage and stole two of these all-terrain wheelchairs. Indiana police are investigating the crime. They are currently seeking any leads that could help identify the perpetrators. GearJunkie reached out to Indiana DNR for comment,…
Russia has begun implementing border controls and other measures to keep hantavirus at bay. These precautions aim to prevent the potential spread of the deadly Andes hantavirus strain, the country’s public health watchdog, Rospotrebnadzor, has said. As a precaution, “Rospotrebnadzor – together with the Russian Border Service – has taken measures to strengthen border controls,” it said. Automated information systems are being used at the border to assess and minimize risks, it added, according to a report by RT. This current outbreak was discussed during a Rospotrebnadzor video conference on Tuesday, where the discussion centered on preventative measures. Hantaviruses are…
No matter how prepared you might be when you go camping, you’re still vulnerable in a tent, camper, or van. Hungry bears, hostile humans, and even flesh-eating zombies could be lurking. And a thin nylon wall or plywood siding isn’t going to stop them if they’re intent on getting to you. Camping shelters protect you from the elements, and that’s about it. Except for the Mammoth Overland Xtinction Level Escape (XLE) camper. This 18-foot, 4.2-inch, 4,300-pound behemoth tow-along trailer is complete with bulletproof glass, deployable flare guns, remote-activated “sonic defense” and “quad bear defense” systems, 360-degree night-vision CCTV, and much,…
Democrats in Massachusetts are scrambling for political cover after a repeat, violent felon managed to evade the state’s restrictive gun control laws and get his hands on a rifle this week, using it to fire dozens of rounds at motorists in Cambridge before he was stopped by an armed citizen and a Massachusetts state trooper. As the Gun Owners Action League reports, some Democrats are demanding new laws in response; not to make it easier for lawful citizens to exercise their Second Amendment rights, but to make violent crime even more illegal. “The only law that…
Everybody knows Call of Duty, Halo, Half-Life 2, and Bad Company 2, but plenty of great FPS games have become forgotten over time, destined to only appear in these types of articles as memories by someone who loves to track down gems from yesteryear. There are many reasons a video game masterpiece might never attract the attention it deserves or slip through the cracks in time, and quite a few of these titles have not been properly preserved and made easily accessible to a modern audience. The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay One Of The Greatest FPS Movie…
