Everyone knows the importance of water in a survival situation. You can only survive without it for three days, but you’ll feel severely dehydrated after just one. This is why water needs to be one of your biggest priorities. You should stock up on two gallons per day per person, but you should also know how to find and collect water. Why? Because disasters happen when you least expect, and you could be away from home when the next one strikes. Or worse, your home—along with your water supply—could be destroyed. In case either of these things happens, you need…
Civilian Marksmanship Program is bringing back a piece of American military history and demand is already heating up. The CMP has announced availability of CMP M1903A3 rifles, part of its ongoing military surplus sales program. These rifles, originally issued to U.S. forces in World War I, World War II, and Korea, remain some of the most iconic bolt-action service rifles ever produced. But before anyone rushes to place an order, there are a few things worth understanding. A Historic Rifle With a Modern Path to Ownership The CMP M1903A3 rifles currently available fall under the “reclaimed rifle” category. That means:…
This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge under the title: Trump Not Open To Tehran’s Latest Proposal As ‘Tank Tops’ Loom, Claims Iran “Informed Us They Are In State Of Collapse.” Summary Trump TS claim: Tehran has informed Washington they are in a “state of collapse” and that the Iranians want the US to “open the Hormuz Strait” – as ‘tank tops’ loom. Trump doesn’t appear open to Iran’s proposal, which hinges on the US naval blockade ending & nuclear issue being pushed to future negotiations (CNN). First crude-laden Japanese tanker from Saudi port exits Hormuz Strait successfully without Iranian interference.…
New York makes it incredibly burdensome to exercise your right to keep and bear arms, but to add insult to injury lawmakers in the Empire State have also made it illegal for those outside of certain “eligible professions” to possess body armor; a purely defensive article that the state claims is too dangerous for average, everyday folks like you and me to possess. Firearms Policy Coalition and several individual plaintiffs are challenging that ban, and on Monday the state of New York issued its reply to FPC’s motion for summary judgment. In it, Attorney General…
There’s always noise in the gun world. Caliber wars. Brand loyalty. “My setup is better than yours.” You know the drill. But every once in a while, something pops up that’s actually worth paying attention to. That’s exactly what caught the attention of Tuber Hegshot87, who recently broke down a pretty unusual situation brewing between Sturm, Ruger & Co. and Beretta. Do you think Beretta is trying to take over Ruger? And right out of the gate, he framed it like so: “Very rarely do you see disputes like this where one company is coming in, infiltrating another, and basically…
Images by the author Most red dots today are built around one goal: lighter and smaller. The Griffin GHS goes in the opposite direction. It’s heavier. It’s overbuilt. And the second you pick it up, you know it’s not trying to compete with minimalist optics. The real question is simple: Does that extra weight actually give you something in return? Features and Specifications Here’s a good place to list those… Features 3 MOA Dot Reticle 1 MOA Adjustment Increments 10 Brightness Settings (8 Daytime, 2 NV) Parallax Set at 25yds Flip-Up Plastic Lens Covers Integrated Picatinny Mount (Co-Witness Height) Shockproof…
After months of waiting, the T-bar was spinning at Crested Butte Mountain Resort. It had been an unseasonably dry December and January. Finally, the snow was stacked up enough to open the infamous High Lift, a surface lift serving double-black extreme terrain. After riding groomed runs and park laps all season, I was yearning to get off-piste and back into my favorite cliff bands. At the top of the lift, I strapped into a 160 W Jones Howler, with Jones Mercury FASE bindings, the perfect board in my quiver for big mountain freestyle riding. I strapped in and rode the…
I’ve spent too many mornings frustrated with a soaking wet blind bag after wading across the marsh. This morning was different. As I slid the Divebomb Waterproof Zip Backpack off my shoulders and unzipped it, I was happy to see (and feel) my shells and camera gear were dry. While waterproof blind bags have been around for a while, I’ve never been a fan of the traditional roll-top dry bags. They waste a lot of space and never feel comfortable while on my back. After several months of using the Divebomb Waterproof Zip Backpack in the dove field and duck blind, I…
When we recently reported on a federal measure that would grant eligible veterans and active-duty military personnel nationwide concealed-carry privileges, effectively overriding state-level restrictions that can differ significantly from one jurisdiction to another, we noted that the bill could face pushback from pro-gun advocates. Boy, were we ever right! The measure, the Special Operations Forces Concealed Carry Act, applied specifically to special operations-type military personnel and veterans, and the author, Rep. Pat Harrigan, R-North Carolina, touted those personnel’s credentials to carry a firearm for self-defense. However, some in the pro-gun community believe the legislation slights the average American citizen, whose…
Washington should force the neighboring countries to turn their backs on Beijing, a group of democratic United States senators has said. They are suggesting that U.S. ruler Donald Trump drag both Canada and Mexico into the ongoing trade war. The U.S. has already taken several steps to keep Chinese EVs (electric vehicles) out of the U.S. market. The previous presidential administration raised import tariffs on them from 25% to 100%. The executive orders issued by Trump shortly after taking office in January 2025 brought the total effective US import tariff to 127.5%, reported RT. Trump Finally Admits The U.S. Is…
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…
According to a peer-reviewed study conducted by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), children who received the Moderna COVID-19 “vaccine” have a much higher risk of a febrile seizure within a day of vaccination. Among children aged 2 to 4, the risk was approximately 2.5 times higher, according to the report published on February 4th in Vaccine. Flu Vaccines Are Neither Safe Nor Effective Febrile seizures are convulsions most often caused by fevers that are triggered by infections related to common childhood illnesses. These seizures typically occur in children 6 months to 5 years old, and when they have a…
New Mexico is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been in my life. For years, I hoped to retire to either there or Arizona and just soak up the beauty. I didn’t even realize how much I’d love the area until I visited. But now, I wouldn’t live there for all the money in the world.After all, who would want to live in a state that elected a governor who thought she could just suspend the Second Amendment in a city, basically? That was smacked down, thankfully, but that doesn’t mean lawmakers there aren’t…
What state is the most hostile to our Second Amendment rights? There are several states in the running, but I might have to give the nod to Hawaii. In his latest legal filing, attorney Alan Beck notes that Hawaii County alone has settled seven lawsuits that challenge various gun control laws since the Bruen decision came down 3 1/2 years ago. Number eight may be on the horizon. Beck, who’s also taking on Hawaii’s ‘vampire rule” in Wolford v. Lopez, is once again suing the county; this time for taking longer than forty days to process…
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog under the title: Optimism About The Future Plunges To An All-Time Record Low, And Credit Card Debt Soars To An All-Time Record High As long as you have hope, you can face whatever challenges are ahead. Sadly, Americans have been losing hope at a rate that is absolutely unprecedented. As you will see below, optimism about the future has fallen to the lowest level ever recorded. One of the biggest reasons why people are losing hope is because we have been in a historic cost-of-living crisis for almost this…
President Donald Trump has pulled the United States out of the World Health Organization. Considering what a trainwreck WHO was during the COVID fiasco, I can’t say that I blame him, though a lot of others heavily criticized the move. WHO doesn’t acknowledge the United States’ ability to leave the organization, but since there’s not a lot they can do about anything, I’m not losing sleep over it. Yet if Trump hadn’t pulled us out of the WHO, it might be a fine time to consider it, at least if the organization listens to a…
