No matter how prepared you might be when you go camping, you’re still vulnerable in a tent, camper, or van. Hungry bears, hostile humans, and even flesh-eating zombies could be lurking. And a thin nylon wall or plywood siding isn’t going to stop them if they’re intent on getting to you. Camping shelters protect you from the elements, and that’s about it. Except for the Mammoth Overland Xtinction Level Escape (XLE) camper. This 18-foot, 4.2-inch, 4,300-pound behemoth tow-along trailer is complete with bulletproof glass, deployable flare guns, remote-activated “sonic defense” and “quad bear defense” systems, 360-degree night-vision CCTV, and much,…
Democrats in Massachusetts are scrambling for political cover after a repeat, violent felon managed to evade the state’s restrictive gun control laws and get his hands on a rifle this week, using it to fire dozens of rounds at motorists in Cambridge before he was stopped by an armed citizen and a Massachusetts state trooper. As the Gun Owners Action League reports, some Democrats are demanding new laws in response; not to make it easier for lawful citizens to exercise their Second Amendment rights, but to make violent crime even more illegal. “The only law that…
Everybody knows Call of Duty, Halo, Half-Life 2, and Bad Company 2, but plenty of great FPS games have become forgotten over time, destined to only appear in these types of articles as memories by someone who loves to track down gems from yesteryear. There are many reasons a video game masterpiece might never attract the attention it deserves or slip through the cracks in time, and quite a few of these titles have not been properly preserved and made easily accessible to a modern audience. The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay One Of The Greatest FPS Movie…
Hitch bike racks are arguably the easiest, safest way to transport bikes to a trailhead or campout. Based in Colorado, lead tester Eric Phillips has spent hundreds of hours testing five hitch racks with a variety of mountain bikes and electric bikes over the past six months including local circuits and a road trip to Utah. After thousands of hours of testing on racks since 2022, it’s clear that the 2-bike Küat Piston Pro X sets the bar among plush designs, with hydraulically actuated wheel clamps, LED lights, and robust security features. Meanwhile, the 2-bike Küat Piston Ion offers a 100-pound…
BEIJING (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday that he has not made a decision on whether to move forward with a major arms package for Taiwan after hearing concerns about it from Chinese President Xi Jinping. Trump’s comments on Taiwan — a self-ruled island that China claims as its own territory — came as he flew back to Washington after wrapping up critical talks in which both leaders said important progress was made in stabilizing U.S.-China relations even as deep differences persist between the world’s two biggest powers on Iran and Taiwan. “I will make a determination,” Trump…
We reported recently how the proposed new “Revised Mailing Standards for Firearms” rule, which would permit the mailing of handguns through the U.S. Postal Service, is being opposed by the head law enforcement officials in 23 anti-gun states, including New Jersey.Earlier this month, attorneys general from 22 states sent a letter to the USPS asking leaders to withdraw the Final Rule, arguing: “The federal government’s refusal to follow a century-old commonsense firearm safety law threatens the rule of law and public safety. Turning the Postal Service into a tool to ship guns into our states, in violation of our laws,…
Armed Forces Day falls on the third Saturday of May every year, and it is the one day on the American calendar specifically set aside to honor the men and women currently serving in uniform — not veterans who have come home, not the fallen who gave everything, but the approximately 1.34 million active-duty service members on duty right now, stationed across six continents, doing the work while most of the country goes about its Saturday. For 2026, Armed Forces Day is Saturday, May 16. Most people could not tell you that. Armed Forces Day gets lost in the shadow…
This article was originally published by Justin M. Ptak at The Mises Institute. There is something almost absurd about a government minting money at a loss. A coin—the most basic unit—becomes instead a confession, not just of inefficiency, but of a deeper fracture between what money is supposed to represent and what it has become. The American penny collapsed under that weight—3.69 cents for every penny minted. Thus, it cost multiples of its face value to produce—a financial contradiction sustained for years out of habit and political inertia. Now the nickel stands in the same position, costing far more to…
I grew up listening to my doctor. I wasn’t always great at doing what he told me, but since I was young, it wasn’t usually that big of a deal. I wish my mother had been better at listening to them, because she might still be around if she had. On some things, you absolutely should listen, such as the need to lose some weight if you’re obese. But one of the problems with that is that many physicians are eroding the public’s trust in them by weighing in on stuff they really shouldn’t, such…

A recent hit piece on ERPO repeal efforts shows exactly how the Bloomberg-funded outlet launders gun control talking points as journalism — and why gun owners should keep treating its output accordingly. Give Chip Brownlee this much: the man can write. His recent piece in the Trace on Republican states rolling back red flag laws is cleanly constructed, well-paced, and professionally edited. It’s also anti-gun propaganda from beginning to end. Those two things are not in tension — they’re the whole business model. The Trace bills itself as “the only newsroom dedicated to reporting on gun violence.” That line has…
Nebraska is a weird state politically, in part because they have only one chamber to their legislature. Everyone else has two, which is strange. They’re also a heavily rural state, with a strong history of voting Republican, a supermajority in their one legislative chamber, and a strong base of support for the Second Amendment among most residents there. Just the same, they voted to ban guns from the state capitol. It’s bizarre and dumb, but they did it anyway.In the process, they limited entrance to the Capitol to just one point of entry. This is likely…
Photos by the author When you tell a fellow shooter that you just brought a brand-new Hi-Point pistol or carbine home, it seems that sometimes they want to light a candle for you or perform an intervention. They may look at you like, “What’s wrong with you, dude?” I often hear this when I mention Hi-Point to my shooting buddies. After the eye-rolling is done, I have one question for them: Can you tell me the brand and model of a $175 9mm (or 10mm, or .30 Super Carry, or .45 ACP, or .380 ACP, or .40 S&W) pistol or…
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The End of the American Dream under the title: 13 U.S. Scientists, 9 Chinese Scientists, And A Prominent UFO Researcher Are All Dead – Is There A Connection? This is starting to get really weird. For months, people have been talking about the growing list of U.S. scientists who were working on sensitive projects related to our space or nuclear programs that have either suddenly died or mysteriously disappeared. Of course, if someone mysteriously disappears and never comes back, it is probably safe to assume that the individual is dead. All…
A Minnesota gun control activist told a group of supporters this week that one of the reasons Republican lawmakers in the state aren’t joining Democrats in supporting a ban on so-called assault weapons and large capacity magazines is that they’re being threatened by gun owners. The Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus shared audio of Kathleen Anderson responding to a question about why no GOP legislator has signed on to the gun and magazine ban bills being pushed by Gov. Tim Walz, most DFL lawmakers, and gun control groups. Kathleen Anderson, Protect Minnesota’s Director of Outreach and a…
No one knows just how unfriendly towards guns Connecticut is than people who live there. They see the good and bad every single day, and for gun rights advocates, they’re behind enemy lines trying to keep up the good fight when the deck is stacked against them. I have a lot of respect for their efforts, and I pray I never get to experience that firsthand. But one city council meeting, where the topic was gun rights, stemming from a local ordinance that was later repealed, got heated, and people got stupid.A tense debate about…
