It’s impossible to say when the first bricks were made, but the walls of ancient cities have been found and determined to be thousands of years old. The walls of Jericho were dated at 7,000 years old and made of brick. Bricks throughout history have been made from a variety of materials mostly determined by what was available in any given area and its ability to bind and dry into a strong, workable form. The ancient Egyptians were known for their stonework when constructing the pyramids and the sphinx, but their bricks were used to construct mostly homes and smaller…
The Scottish girl brandishing an axe and a big old knife in a viral video kind of took over the world and became something of a rallying point for those who oppose the UK’s ridiculous immigration policies. After all, the girl in question claimed two such “immigrants” were up to nefarious things, including making sexual comments to the girl and her sister. Well, the two were put on trial, finally, and the axe girl took the stand.The accused have since been identified as 22-year-old Ilia Belov and 20-year-old Nadjedzha Belova; both were charged with violent…
Images by the author Reloaders like to control all aspects of their craft – this I know from first-hand experience. From sourcing components like cases, bullets, powder, primers, etc., to getting things ready to go to “press”, the more control you have over things, the better. Nowhere is that more true than with case preparation. You cannot create top-quality reloads without having a good foundation for them to begin with. Cartridge cases comprise that foundation. Good quality cases are necessary to create uniform, consistent loads regardless of caliber or purpose. Whether you are blasting steel targets, running tactical courses, or…

Climbing access on the East Coast is a tricky thing: Since most of the land here is privately owned (unlike the West), public access can change quickly. If a landowner decides they don’t want climbers on their land — that’s that. The same thing happened 22 years ago at Red River Gorge, a classic sport climbing destination in Kentucky. A landowner revoked public access to two major climbing areas: Oil Crack and the Arena. And they stayed empty for over 2 decades — until now. On April 21, the Red River Gorge Climbers’ Coalition (RRGCC), the nonprofit that manages climbing…
Look, it’s easy for us to talk about shooting home invaders for being home invaders. It should absolutely be justified if we do, but there’s a psychological toll on taking human life that not everyone is willing to pay if they can avoid it. I get it. When someone is just trespassing, though, things get kind of murky. Is it justified? Legally, probably not, even if the intention is to enter the home. But it’s kind of rare when someone with any degree of fame ends up using a gun in self-defense. They normally don’t…

Dawn patrol, by definition, starts before sunrise. Skins on, boots snapped partially tight, I started striding into the darkness. Within 10 minutes, I had stripped down to my base layer sun hoodie. As the sun rose, casting orange light on the peaks all around me, I picked up the pace. My softshell ski pants, Stio’s new Tracksetter Pants, were put to work. Between the stretching, breathing, and ongoing protection from the crisp morning air, I was impressed by the Jackson Hole brand’s new pants. You’re not grabbing softshell pants like the Tracksetters for every ski day. The “soft” in softshell…

Democrats in the Connecticut House of Representatives gave their stamp of approval to a bill being pushed by Gov. Ned Lamont that would ban the sale of new Glocks and other striker-fired semi-automatic pistols that can be converted to full-auto through the illegal installation of a switch. Similar language has already been enshrined into law in California, and several other Democrat-run states, including Maryland, have taken aim at the popular pistols as well. Republican lawmakers in the Connecticut House tried to push back on the measure, but were simply outnumbered when it came time to count…

Many people mark the Columbine massacre as the start of the modern mass killing era. It was the first such massacre to take place during a 24-hour news cycle, which many believe may have fueled the countless copycat killings. Including a recent one in Mexico where the killer wasn’t hiding his “inspiration.”Rep. Ilhan Omar says she was impacted by Columbine, and while I missed it that day, it seems she took the opportunity, like so many others, to use the anniversary to call for gun controlThere’s just one problem.27 years since the Columbine High School…
