There are times when a one in five failure rate is perfectly acceptable. For example, in a difficult STEM subject in school, 20 percent of the students failing is considered normal. It’s a hard class, and the stakes may feel catastrophic to the student, but it’s really not. They can take the class again in college, or if it’s high school, summer school can fix that problem right up. It sucks, but it’s not the end of the world. But what if there was a similar failure rate for a law that suspended someone’s civil…

My Seekins PH3 in 6.5 Creedmoor didn’t just print one pretty group. After a quick factory tune, it drilled repeatable sub half-inch clusters and held that precision to 775 yards.https://gunsamerica.com/listings/search Seekins PH3 6.5 Creedmoor: Predator Rifle Goals Met I recently purchased a Seekins PH3 in 6.5 Creedmoor. While all of the new features on this rifle are exciting and fun to talk about, I wanted to do a review on what matters most on a high-end rifle. How accurate is it? All the new features are worthless to me if a gun is not accurate enough for my shooting demands.…

Images by the author I recently took a mini-break to North Carolina to visit friends and was able to stop by Trailblazer Firearms (TF) in Fletcher. I wrote an introductory article on this innovative company… look for it here soon. I also reviewed their fold-up, single-shot .22 pistol, the breath-mint-box-sized LifeCard… again, look for that review here, as well. This third article on TF is a review of their other product, the Pivot. This is a truly unique folding 9mm pistol-caliber carbine (PCC). Folding Carbines… A Trend I am no stranger to PCCs, especially ones that fold. I’ve shot the…

For gardeners with poor soil, hungry wildlife, poor sunlight, or all of the above, container gardening provides several answers. You can manipulate the soil in your container to be just what you need for the type of plants you are growing. Container gardens can be moved anywhere you like. They can be transferred to follow seasonal sunlight changes, and they can be placed in an enclosure, on a porch, or a protected location to deal with hungry pests like rabbit, deer, and squirrels.

I pulled myself onto the airy arête in the morning sunshine on one of Colorado’s more obscure ridgeline scrambles. The air was frigid; the rock was cold and brittle after the season’s first snowstorm the night before. A careful hand placement, followed by a delicate toe, as we progressed toward the summit, the mountain plummeting thousands of feet on either side. It was a semi-technical day in terms of gear loadout, but extra layers were a necessity with so many hours in the exposed alpine, quickly transitioning to winter. I hauled it all in Gregory’s new Alpinisto 30 backpack, an…

Most people are completely unprepared for a disaster. And I’m not talking about being prepared for some end-of-the-world scenario. Most people aren’t even prepared for common disasters that happen all the time. Hurricanes. Floods. Earthquakes. Wildfires. Chemical spills that force an evacuation. A winter storm that knocks out power for a week. Sudden disasters don’t care whether you’re ready or not. And when one hits, the last thing you want to be doing is scrambling to find flashlight batteries or realizing you don’t have a single gallon of clean water in your house. The good news is that basic preparedness…

You’ve heard of Moab. But maybe you only know it vaguely as an outdoor escape, the backdrop that inspired Edward Abbey’s literary masterpiece Desert Solitaire. The best way to understand the storied Southwest destination is as a gateway — not only as an entrance to Arches and Canyonlands national parks, but also as a launchpad to multiple world-class adventures: biking the iconic Slickrock Trail, rafting the Colorado River, and tackling technical four-wheel-drive trails. And it’s not all white-knuckle extreme. Moab’s blend of raw red-rock beauty with a welcoming, choose-your-own-adventure vibe works for first-timers and seasoned explorers alike.

I love swords. I study how to fight with them and teach it to others. Swords are cool. They are not, however, the best weapon one can use in today’s climate in most cases. The exception is when you have a sword and the other person has nothing, generally speaking. Most people don’t know how to disarm a sword-wielding attacker, especially if they’re unarmed.  Every now and then, someone will lose all touch with reality, though, and use a sword on the streets of some American city. We’ve always sent the police to deal with…

This one’s interesting. Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey is pushing a plan to expand hunting access across the state and she’s not pitching it as tradition or conservation. She’s calling it public health policy, per Boston 25 News. The announcement comes as the state deals with two growing problems: more deer… and more issues tied to them. State data shows car crashes involving deer are up roughly 51% over the past decade, and last year alone saw more than 11,000 reported cases of tick-borne illnesses. And it’s not just Lyme disease anymore. Officials say newer, more complex tick-related conditions are on…

The United States ruling class has pressured satellite imaging company Planet Labs to stop publishing photos of the war in the Middle East. Planet Labs agreed to the censorship request, saying that no photos after March 9th will be shared. A Story of Censorship – Starting in the 1970s This agreement will last until the war between the U.S., Israel, and Iran is officially over. The proprietary imagery captured and shared by Planet Labs has already been widely used by journalists and open-source intelligence (OSINT) analysts to verify strikes and damage on both sides of the war. These included sites…

Pam Bondi is out as Attorney General, and Assistant AG Harmeet Dhillon is allegedly set to receive a promotion to Associate AG; the third highest ranking official in the Department of Justice. If that happens, the Civil Rights Division will need a new chief, and there’s no guarantee that it will be someone as intent on using the division to challenge state and local gun control laws as Dhillon has been.  My nightmare scenario: Trump names current U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C Jeanine Pirro as Dhillon’s replacement… or worse, as his next Attorney General. Pirro has…
