The Kings & Queens of Corbet’s competition is set to kick off on Friday at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort (JHMR). Earlier in the week, conditions in the couloir were icy, hard-packed, and generally scary. But a winter storm delivered over a foot of snow just in time for the competition. Now Corbet’s is locked and loaded, the athletes are primed, and the big air action is impending. GearJunkie spent the week watching as JHMR prepared the course, and we caught up with two of the athletes ahead of the competition. Wyatt Gentry, 19, and Tristian Lilly, 24, sat down with…
Since Alex Pretti was shot and killed by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis last month, there’s been a flood of stories about liberals embracing their Second Amendment rights, buying guns, and heading to the range. So far that hasn’t translated to any Democrat politicians renouncing their gun control ways, and I’m curious to see if February’s NICS numbers will show any substantial increase in firearm transfers in blue states, but it’s certainly a media phenomenon if nothing else. That particular story has been written time and time again in recent weeks, but Minnesota Public Radio found a…
When I first saw the HOKA x Halfdays Kaha 2 Frost Moc GTX, I had questions. This collaboration between two undeniably popular brands looked pretty wild. Was it a hiking shoe? A slipper? Was it made for snow and ice? Were you supposed to wear it in the city, on the slopes, or on the trail? Upon further research, the two brands claim that the Kaha 2 Frost Moc GTX is designed to thrive in all of the above environments. I put that claim to the test, wearing the Kaha 2 Frosts in the rainy Pacific Northwest, the foothill trails…
The firearm industry trade association is calling so-called “mainstream” media onto the carpet for hiding the number of common semi-automatic rifles owned by lawful American citizens in order to help bolster legislative proposals to ban such firearms. In a news story published on its website, the National Shooting Sports Federation (NSSF) focused on the current proposed ban in the Virginia legislature, highlighting coverage by WHSV 3 News, which reported: “If passed, the proposal would prohibit the manufacture, sale, import, purchase and transfer of many semi-automatic rifles, pistols and shotguns that meet its newly expanded definition of ‘assault firearms.’ This definition…

The Third Circuit Court of Appeals heard the combined Koons and Seigel cases en banc on Feb. 11, and I was in the courtroom to watch the oral arguments in person. Plaintiffs’ Attorneys may have bested the state, leaving interveners with crossed fingers. As previously reported, the full Third Circuit Court of Appeals reheard the consolidated Koons and Seigel cases via an en banc review. The arguments went just over an hour and while the bellwethers on which way the judges will decide are unknown, if you’re counting points on every glove laid, liberty will…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadOn a bitterly cold morning—when the pipes freeze up, and the faucets stop running—the reality of frozen plumbing hits fast. That was my experience last Saturday morning, with wind chills in the negative double digits. First thing in the morning, I noticed the toilet sounded odd. There was no water filling the tank after it was flushed. That’s when it hit me—”Great, my pipes must be frozen.” Up until that moment, I’d never dealt with frozen pipes, so the question popped into my head: “Okay, so my pipes are frozen, now what do I…
Monstrum Tactical seems to be a company that produces a wide variety of products; most of them are on the cheap side. Over time, they seemed to go from small attachments into the world of optics. They’ve thrown out a lot of unique-looking optics in traditional formats. The B.O.P., which stands for Bird of Prey, is a compact shotgun red dot. Looking at this thing makes it clear that the B.O.P. is inspired by the Viper SG Micro Red Dot Sight. The two optics use a remarkably similar design. The Viper SG and the B.O.P. are both enclosed emitter dots,…
Things aren’t great in the Old Dominion State. My old stomping grounds haven’t just swung back toward embracing gun control. They’ve got full-on California with the things that supposedly moderate Gov. Abigail Spanberger has supported regarding infringing on gun rights. Honestly, there’s nothing good that seems to be coming out of there other than Cam’s dispatches from behind what have become enemy lines.But not everyone is rolling over and showing their belly. The Second Amendment sanctuary movement in Virginia is still alive and kicking, apparently.On Friday, Lynchburg voted to renew its Second Amendment sanctuary status.Originally…
Nearly four years after the horrific May 14, 2022 massacre at a Tops Friendly Markets on Jefferson Avenue, a new legal chapter just closed. And it could have serious implications for the firearms industry. New York Attorney General Letitia James announced partial settlements involving magazine-lock manufacturer MEAN LLC, gun dealer Vintage Firearms LLC, and the shooter’s parents. The coordinated resolution includes a $1.75 million payment from MEAN LLC to families and survivors. As part of the agreement, the company will stop selling its MA Lock device in New York and remove marketing claims suggesting the product made rifles compliant with…
When billionaire couple Laura and John Arnold cut another check to the RAND Corporation for the latest edition of “The Science of Gun Policy,” the outcome was as predictable as ever. After all, when you’re footing the entire bill, you tend to get the results you’re looking for. This marks the fifth annual installment of RAND’s “Guns in America” initiative, and once again, it delivers exactly what its funders wanted to hear: guns are dangerous, and Americans need more restrictions on their Second Amendment rights. Follow the Money Here’s what you need to know about the funding: Before 2018, RAND…
The Department of Justice has been arguing for months now that various courts should either uphold federal statutes prohibiting gun ownership for anyone convicted of a crime punishable by more than a year in prison, or at the very least hold off judgment until the DOJ’s rights restoration rule takes effect and individual plaintiffs try to regain their rights through that process. The DOJ reiterated that stance before an en banc panel of the Third Circuit today in two separate cases challenging Section 922(g)(1), but in doing so the government ended up demonstrating why the…
If you’ve been waiting for true high-res thermal performance in a binocular platform, the new QUEST S50R Rangefinding Thermal Binocular just answered that call, loudly. This isn’t a monocular pretending to be something else. The QUEST S50R is built from the ground up for two-eyed scanning comfort, stability, and long-haul observation. And now it brings a 1280×1024, 60Hz thermal sensor to the party. At the heart of the S50R is a Nocpix 1280 sensor (12μm, ≤15 mK NETD) paired with a serious 50mm f/1.1 germanium objective lens. Translation? Big glass, big performance. More detail. Better contrast. Cleaner identification at distance.…
This article was originally published by Mike Adams at Natural News. Introduction: The High-Stakes Deception In February 2026, a familiar geopolitical drama unfolded once more. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hastily flew to Washington, D.C., moving up a scheduled meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump by a week [1]. His urgent mission, as widely reported, was to sabotage ongoing diplomatic talks between the United States and Iran [2] and instead push the American leader toward a catastrophic military confrontation. This maneuver was not a sudden development but the culmination of a years-long, covert campaign of manipulation by the Israeli leader—a campaign rooted in…
As I walked through Vail Village, a familiar pair of boots caught my eye. The liftie was carrying his empty cabrio shells in one hand, his skis over his shoulder, and on his feet were Dahu’s instantly recognizable Cambium Boots. The rubber-soled, lace-up liners can be worn outside of their shells like a regular snow boot. It’s one of the defining features of Dahu’s three-piece Cabrio design. I probably wouldn’t have noticed that liftie was wearing Dahus, except that I was at Vail that morning to test the brand’s latest boots: the 02X and the 02AM. I reviewed the original…
As Bearing Arms reported last week, New Hampshire did a very good thing. They’re one step closer to having campus carry on college campuses in the state. For a state that has “Live Free or Die” on its license plates, it’s nice to see when they’re living up to that motto. And yeah, that’s what’s happening here, assuming the Senate passes the bill, too.I’m not the only one thrilled to see this, though, and neither is Cam, who wrote about it last week. The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is…
When police chase an armed suspect toward a church parking lot on a Sunday morning, things can go sideways fast. That’s exactly what happened February 8 in Hickory, North Carolina. According to reports, officers encountered a 35-year-old man holding a knife outside a nearby restaurant. Commands were given. He refused. The situation escalated into a foot pursuit, straight toward St. Luke’s United Methodist Church as congregants were arriving for service. During the chase, a police K-9 was deployed and reportedly stabbed. At one point, an officer fell, and the suspect turned back toward him with the knife still in hand.…
Putting accessories on a bow isn’t something you should take lightly. I’ve had instances when those very accessories proved the difference between success and failure in the field. You need gear that you can depend on when you need it most. It needs to be able to handle rugged country, being bumped around, and inclement weather. Hamskea has always been a name I’ve trusted across the board here. The new R7 arrow rest might just be the best one yet for me and bowhunters alike. In short: Bowhunters looking for an arrow rest that is not only durable, but dependable,…
I do not envy our friends in the Great White North.At one time, they had gun control laws that were actually kind of tolerable. Yeah, they had stupid ones, but they could also get short-barreled rifles and shotguns over the counter at their local gun store, so there were upsides, too. But that was before Justin Trudeau had to deflect from a “brown face” scandal and leveraged the media’s hatred of gun ownership to do so. Now, things aren’t what they used to be, with a literal gun grab set to take place soon.And the…
