Mystery Ranch turns 25 this year, and to celebrate, it relaunched one of the most popular packs it’s ever made. On Nov. 21, Mystery Ranch announced the limited-run made-in-the-USA Hip Monkey 25 and launched it on its website. The pack, which has been sold on and off since 2001, has been upgraded with new materials, a retro heritage patch, and the classic Mystery Ranch “Wildfire Black” colorway. “The Hip Monkey is as recognizably Mystery Ranch as any style we’ve ever made,” Luke Buckingham, director of product and operations at Mystery Ranch, said in a statement. “Its enduring popularity has caused…
Most of the time when you see the word “allegedly” applied to someone accused of criminal action, it’s not because no one believes he or she did it. It’s because if the publication doesn’t, and they’re acquitted, they can sue for defamation because the publication implied guilt before it was established. Once convicted, or if the suspect is deceased, that doesn’t matter anymore. A conviction is proof enough that any inaccurate claims as to guilt were made in good faith, and dead people don’t have reputations to protect anymore in the eyes of the law.So,…
I admit it. I’m incurable. I like 1911s. There, I said it. I really like .45ACP 1911s, and the 9mm double-stacks are growing on me, but the old slabsides started this love affair. It started with me in the late 1970s when I acquired my first 1911. That was before there was such a plethora of makes and models on the market. I own, or have owned, several 1911s and enjoy shooting them. With its modern iteration the 2011, I enjoy shooting them even more. Just today I shot this Savage, and also a 9mm MAC 9 2011. Both were…

Over the last couple of seasons, I’ve found myself spending more time with conventional fishing setups and bass boats and less time wearing waders and throwing flies. My job, proximity to good streams, and other factors have all played a part. But it hit me how badly I miss the serenity of fly fishing and the escape it provides from the daily grind. When the opportunity came to test Abel’s new TR fly reel, I jumped at the offer. It offered a reason to prioritize time on the water and, more importantly, motivate me to prioritize fly fishing again. I’ve…

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) has stopped work on a nationwide gray wolf recovery plan that it instituted just last year. The agency says the two wolf groups that remain listed under the Endangered Species Act no longer require a federal recovery roadmap. USFWS released an exception finding that removes the requirement for a federal recovery plan for the “44-State entity” and the “Minnesota entity.” The agency’s full rationale appears in the official FWS exception findings report. The agency said current data show both groups have reached a point where a recovery plan would not improve their conservation…
A group of six Democratic lawmakers with military or national security backgrounds released a video in November 2025 urging U.S. service members and intelligence personnel to refuse unlawful orders. Participants included Senator Elissa Slotkin, Senator Mark Kelly, Representative Jason Crow, Representative Chris Deluzio, Representative Maggie Goodlander, and Representative Chrissy Houlahan. Their message emphasized that the oath is to the Constitution, not to any leader, and warned that threats to constitutional order can arise “from within.” The lawmakers said troops “can and must refuse illegal orders,” a claim that is technically correct under military law. They framed the message as a…
To understand the new politics stance and other pro nationals of recent times, we should look to Silicon Valley and the quantified movement of the latest generation.

Jungfrau-Aletsch-Bietschhorn The Jungfrau-Aletsch-Bietschhorn region is a magnificent area with high mountain ranges, glaciers and is actually the most glaciated part of the European Alps. Visiting this area can be done relatively easy by car and if you want to go up, by train up to 3,400 metres above sea level, the highest train ride in Europe, the Jungfrau Railway is very impressive (and expensive!). The area is on the UNESCO World Heritage list because of its unique and wide range of flora and fauna and geological importance regarding the creating of the High Alps.
