Growing up, my family had a vegetable garden every year. We didn’t grow one because we had to but because we enjoyed the work and the availability of fresh produce at our fingertips. These days it seems almost trendy to say you grow your own food but the time to have a food garden out of necessity certainly seems to be on the horizon. Food prices keep increasing, shortages have become normal, and changing weather patterns all affect what types of foods are available to us. The system on which we rely for our food is really an experiment. When…
Disasters and emergencies can be dirty, stinky, hazardous messes where you’ll want to protect your hands, skin, eyes, and airway. PPE, or Personal Protective Equipment, can help you with that protection.PPE spans from typical everyday gear to safety gear and then to specialized equipment. It typically involves covering your body and protecting your vital functions critical to survival. Sometimes it’s rolled up into clothing or first aid gear because of this.I’ve taught PPE strategies and equipment use in the military, so I’ll share the gear you’ll need to be prepared and a few strategies to help you out when you…
The brightly colored cliffs of Michigan’s Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore have long attracted kayakers eager to gaze at these geologic wonders. So, it’s no surprise that federal prosecutors just announced penalties against four people who broke several rules in this area managed by the National Park Service (NPS). The small group from Illinois not only carved large letters into the area’s beloved cliff faces, but they also attempted to illegally remove 100 pounds of rocks. Park rangers charged them with defacing and collecting park resources. That led to Wednesday’s sentencing, which ordered each of them to pay a $500 fine.…
This article originally appeared on Explorersweb. This spring, two climbers will approach Everest the (very) long way around. While most take a helicopter to Base Camp, they will start their “climb” from the seashore some 3,000 km away. From there, they will avoid motorized vehicles until they reach the highest point on Earth. Climbing Is Just a Fraction Technology, logistics, and the sheer number of summiters have stripped away some of Everest’s aura, so climbers continually seek a novel gimmick to make their quest seem striking. This includes fast ascents, multiple summits, and no-oxygen climbs. But for years, a handful…
Virginia’s legislative session will wrap up this weekend, but not before Democrats have sent at least a dozen anti-2A bills to Gov. Abigail Spanberger for her signature. While some measures like a proposed “permit-to-purchase” and new taxes on guns, ammo, and suppressors were pushed to next year’s session, there are enough new laws on the way that the right to keep and bear arms will be hugely affected come July 1, when many of these provisions will become law. Reason recently took a look at the 12 bills that have passed out of the General…

I use my dad and his group of fishing buddies as a litmus test for what fly fishing gear I recommend. Those dudes are hardcore. They hold weekly fly-tying sessions, own multiple boats, and travel across the West together, fishing some of the most storied trout waters. Heck, one of them spends months living out of a trailer on the ‘Mo. And not a single one of them is part of the fly fishing industry. It’s all for the love of the game. That’s what makes them such good assessors of what gear is worth it, and what isn’t. It’s…
The NRA v. NRA Foundation lawsuit is rather murky. There’s allegations from one side and silence from the other. What’s up with a “Foundation” webpage that was registered last year? There’s no doubt that an ugly battle has been ongoing between the National Rifle Association and its sister organization the NRA Foundation. The NRA claims that the Foundation is not upholding their fiduciary responsibility by withholding funds and are violating trademark law. The Foundation has been mostly silent, but has publicly rebuked the NRA’s claims. The Foundation also asked for the case to be dismissed.…
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has warned the authorities in California that Iran has planned drone raids. These will be launched from an unidentified vessel off the West Coast, according to an alert reviewed by United States media outlets. Launching a War on Iran Was No Act of Courage Local officials, however, have cast doubt on the warning, saying it is unverified. California Governor Gavin Newsom has downplayed the alert, saying he is “not aware of any imminent threats at this time,” but “we remain prepared for any emergency in our state,” he wrote on X. However, he also said…
I can still remember watching the congressional hearings on “porn rock” that took place in the 1980s thanks to the efforts of Tipper Gore and the Parents Music Resource Center. The warning labels on LPs, cassettes, and CDs that soon appeared in record stores were actually a voluntary response by the recording industry and weren’t mandated by Congress, but in the decades since, censorious politicians across the country have pushed for similar labels on all kinds of products. In Calfiornia, for instance, warnings about more than 900 different chemicals are mandatory in businesses, and they’ve become so ubiquitous that…
Two Republican lawmakers have introduced a federal measure that would prohibit states, localities, or any other organization from using federal funding and background check information to maintain gun registries. On February 25, U.S. Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, R-Mississippi, and U.S. Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Arizona, reintroduced S 3916, the Gun-owner Registration Information Protection (GRIP) Act. The measure would clarify existing law prohibiting states or local entities from using federal funds to store or disclose sensitive, personal information related to the legal ownership or possession of firearms. “The Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens remain imperiled as Democrats and anti-gun activists lean into…
This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge under the title: Hegseth Warns “Most Intense Day” Of Operation Epic Fury Imminent As IEA Plans “Largest-Ever” SPR Dump The most significant development in the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday was the start of IRGC naval mining operations, which were met with massive U.S. firepower that destroyed 16 mine-laying vessels. As we continue monitoring the maritime chokepoint this morning after IRGC attacks on three commercial vessels, attention is now shifting to the IRGC’s drone production capacity, which appears to have been degraded. Bloomberg reports that 2,100 Shaheds have been fired so…
Second Amendment advocate and GunTuber Brandon Herrera has received the endorsement of President Donald Trump in his bid to represent the 23rd Congressional District of Texas, just a week after incumbent Rep.
