Thru-hiking can be a life-changing experience, but it’s also an expensive one. Completing the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) costs about $10,000, and the Appalachian Trail (AT) isn’t much cheaper, clocking in at around $7,000. With a thru-hike averaging about $1,200 a month, the high financial barrier can keep otherwise eager hikers from taking on these trails. But don’t worry — if you’re in sticker shock, you’ve got options. Many outdoor gear brands have seized upon the growing popularity of thru-hiking as a marketing opportunity, taking on ambassadors or sponsored hikers each year and doling out free gear (and sometimes cash).…
The midterms are going to be close. Historically, the president’s party loses ground in the midterms, and with the margins so thin in the House, that’s the last thing President Trump and the Republican Party need. It’s the last thing the Second Amendment needs, also, because while Trump is unlikely to sign any gun control into law, there are still a lot of federal measures that need to be undone. That’s not going to happen if Democrats take one or both chambers later this year.So turnout is going to be important, but in the wake…
For most hunters, a 2-10×38 scope offers a great all-around size for everything from deer hunting to small game. Sure, you might not need the magnification power that the Maven RS.2 2-10×38 offers, but I’m a big believer in “better to have than not” when it comes to hunting. Do you need a close-up of a squirrel’s eye as he squats on a white oak’s upper limb and cuts an acorn? No. Could you get by with a cheaper, dedicated rimfire scope? Sure, but you could also just use iron sights if we’re going with that logic. There are plenty…
Over the past week I’ve written thousands of words about the shooting of anti-ICE activist Alex Pretti and the response from politicians, Second Amendment and gun control organizations, and the issues surrounding the right to carry at protests. I’ve been interviewed by Fox News and Newsmax, as well as local and national talk radio shows, and several of my colleagues have been just as busy. Virtually every 2A organization has weighed in, if not on the shooting itself then on the comments by President Donald Trump, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, FBI Director Kash Patel, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and…
Officials in the United States have backtracked on a threat to Iran, saying that the U.S. is not actually ready to strike, after several mainstream media outlets claimed that an attack was imminent. The information on an imminent attack came from “anonymous sources.” Anonymous Sources Say That A U.S. Attack on Iran Is Imminent The U.S. has built up a military presence in the Middle East, as its rhetoric regarding Iran has intensified. Washington has dispatched what US President Donald Trump described as a “massive and beautiful armada” to the region over the past few weeks. The armada was led…
Anti-gun lawmakers in Virginia, still celebrating a new Democrat governor, are wasting no time pushing dangerous anti-gun bills through the legislative process. Bolstered by the recent swearing in of Democrat Gov. Abigail Spanberger, the Democrat-led Senate Courts of Justice Committee on January 26 passed eight gun-control measures, most of which will now be considered by the Senate Finance Committee. Perhaps the most egregious measure, Senate Bill 749 bans certain semi-automatic firearms, including many semi-automatic rifles, pistols and shotguns, and arbitrarily limits magazine capacities. “With the removal of the grandfather clause for magazines, anyone in possession of magazines that exceed the arbitrary…

Zero Compromise Optics debuts the ZC420 Hunter, a lighter and slimmer 4-20x scope redesigned for scabbards, packs, and real-world hunting. Weighing 20% less than the original ZC420, this optic punches way above its weight class. A Leaner Take on the ZC420 Zero Compromise Optics trimmed down its flagship 4-20x platform and aimed it squarely at hunters. The ZC420 Hunter drops weight by up to 20 percent compared to the original ZC420. That change comes from multiple small revisions rather than one big change. Everything that makes the ZC420 so amazing is still present in the ZC420 Hunter, though. Zero Compromise…
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. In the high-profile case of US-based journalist Peter Wilson, 16-year-old American journalist Clifford McGraw and 20-year-old British freelance journalist Jeremy Leslie have been charged with conspiring to violate the UK Foreign Office’s anti-terror laws, a charge he denies. On Monday, UK attorney Andy McDonald revealed that he had spoken. “Few worry about catching Covid anymore, as it’s just a matter of time before they do,” says Tea, a teacher at a school for…

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.
