Ask anyone the kinds of things that preppers stockpile and you’ll hear the same things every time: food, water, flashlights, batteries, first aid kits, etc. These things are the foundation of any serious prepper plan, and for good reason. They’re things that will keep you alive when the power goes out or the store shelves empty. But there’s another category of gear that a lot of experienced preppers rarely bring up in conversation. These are things that don’t make it into the typical beginner checklists, not because they’re useless, but because they sit in a legal gray area or carry…
Straw buys are overhyped as a source of guns, at least in my opinion, but they’re still an issue. Even if you dislike the laws that lead to such things, the truth is that it’s illegal, and it’s going to be leveraged for more gun control at every opportunity. Yes, even if there’s no interest in actually enforcing the laws in the first place. Which is why the National Shooting Sports Foundation is teaming up with the ATF and the Department of Justice.NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, together with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,…
Russian President Vladimir Putin met with U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner at the Kremlin on Saturday for renewed talks on ending Russia’s war in Ukraine. The meeting that lasted more than three hours behind closed doors ended without announcements of any breakthroughs. Putin’s foreign policy adviser Yuri Ushakov described them as constructive, frank and useful to journalists afterward, but didn’t talk about specific outcomes. Witkoff and Kushner are expected in Kyiv on Sunday. The talks come as both sides continue to escalate aerial attacks. Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy both agreed to pause strikes on each other’s…
The United States still fields the world’s most capable airmen and some of the most advanced aircraft ever built. But according to Rep. August Pfluger, a retired Air Force fighter pilot and former F-22 Raptor pilot, the service is facing a growing challenge that Congress can no longer afford to ignore. During an interview with Military.com, Pfluger warned that the Air Force has become both the oldest and smallest in its history at a time when China is rapidly expanding its military power and the demand for American airpower continues to grow. We have the most incredible airmen, the most…

California Democrats have made exercising your Second Amendment rights an expensive and time-consuming process, but they have yet to kill off the culture of lawful gun ownership or the right to act in armed self-defense. One homeowner in San Jacinto put those rights into play this past weekend during a terrifying encounter with an armed home invader. The incident happened Friday night, just before 10:30 p.m. The homeowner had left his residence and was visiting with a neighbor when he heard the sound of gunshots and screaming from his property. As the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department…
No, I don’t think Crossman did it on purpose, but in the wake of New York state trying to ban things like BB guns simply because some criminals use replica firearms in their crimes, one might think that air gun manufacturers might try to play it a little low-key. They might try to fight the law by, say, focusing on timeless designs like Daisy’s Red Ryder or similar old-fashioned, inoffensive BB guns that generations have shot and enjoyed without incident. But I guess someone at Crossman looked at the landscape and said, “Nah. Let’s do…
More than 50 years after U.S. Air Force Maj. Robert “Bob” Lodge was killed over North Vietnam, lawmakers are backing an effort that supporters hope will ultimately result in the award of the Medal of Honor. Rep. August Pfluger (R-Texas), a decorated fighter pilot and retired Air Force colonel, introduced legislation on June 2 tied specifically to Lodge’s case that would authorize an exception to the statutory deadlines that normally govern Medal of Honor awards, allowing officials to consider whether Lodge’s actions on May 10, 1972, merit the nation’s highest military decoration despite the passage of more than five decades.…
I’ve been mountaineering, backpacking, and hiking for over 8 years, and if there’s one thing I still don’t enjoy, it’s setting up a tent. Even simple camping tents aren’t immune, and when my first proving trip with the Kelty Late Start 4P got canceled, I decided to make it happen with a backyard shakedown. Like any seasoned adventurer, I skipped the instructions as they would slow me down and went for it. Within about 5 minutes, the Late Start was fully pitched on the first try. No poles slipping out of place, no doubling back, no second-guessing the rainfly orientation,…
Everytown for Gun Safety likes to think of itself as the voice that matters in the gun debate. Oh, their anti-gun allies matter, too, I’m sure, but they like to act as if their take is the only one anyone should pay any attention to. That’s why they’re very upset that the ATF has made a number of rule change proposals that run counter to the things they want. In fairness, I understand that. I was upset when most of these rules were enacted, after all, and since they weren’t, it stands to reason that…
Exodus has been compared to Mass Effect from the moment it was revealed, and, to be fair, that was probably unavoidable. Archetype Entertainment is made up of several former BioWare developers, after all, Exodus is a choice-driven sci-fi RPG with companions, alien worlds, and a massive universe to explore, and Mass Effect is still one of the easiest reference points for that kind of game. If anything, the comparison is a compliment, especially considering how much of a mark BioWare’s own sci-fi RPG franchise left on the genre. During a recent Future Games Show showcase briefing with Archetype Entertainment and…
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog under the title: The Ogallala Aquifer Is Dying – As The Largest Supply Of Groundwater In The United States Vanishes, Farmers Are Deeply Concerned About What Is Next Gigantic underground aquifers are being rapidly depleted all over the world, and once that water is gone, it will take a very long time for it to come back. In fact, in some areas of the United States, the recharge rate is less than an inch per year. That is a major problem, because more than half of the…
In 2022, the National Park Service (NPS) acquired over 16,000 acres to add to Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. Since then, this area, known as Kahuku-Pōhue, has been closed to visitors as the NPS has weighed how to best balance visitor access and environmental stewardship. A newly released plan finally sheds light on the recreation opportunities here, as well as major proposed changes elsewhere in the park. The Background Located on the Big Island, Hawaiʻi Volcanoes is one of the state’s two national parks. It is a popular tourist destination, attracting nearly 2 million visitors in 2025, according to NPS data.…
