Ruger Wrangler Bonanza! – NEW 7.5″, 6.5″, and 3.75″ Barrel Offerings

The Ruger Wrangler has been incredibly popular since its inception for being a quality and extremely affordable single-action revolver. There is virtually nothing that can compete with it at its current street price of $200 in regards to quality. Now, Ruger has announced that they have 3 new barrel length offerings – 7.5″, 6.5″, and 3.75″ – in their common colorways of a Burnt Bronze, Silver, and Black Cerakote.

The Ruger Wrangler broke the revolver industry’s perception of what could be possible as far as a low price-point and simultaneously maintaining quality. Couple that with popular designs like a bird’s head grip, varying Cerakote colors, and even some hardwood grips for the traditionalists in the audience (this includes me), and you can see why the Ruger Wrangler is such a wheelgun favorite. To expand on that popularity they have introduced 3 new barrel

The new Mossberg 940 Pro Tactical Holosun Micro Dot Combo

High-octane shooting sports like 3-gun and multi-gun competitions aren’t just for the pros anymore. With the introduction of a lot of new and more affordable competition-style guns, more and more “normal” people like myself are getting into the shooting sports scene. Mossberg understands this too and wants to provide its customers with ready-to-go firearm offerings that will get them out of their houses and onto the flat range. As part of this effort, Mossberg has added the new 940 Pro Tactical Holosun Mocro Dot combo to its lineup which gives customers an optic-ready competition shotgun option that doesn’t require searching for a suitable optic.

After Chuck Grado made the shot on a nearly 200-inch whitetail last month, his mind went straight to his wife, Ruth Macke. Sitting alone in a treestand in the fading light, he typed out a cryptic, nerve-rattled text: “30+her Byckr Hera. <omE now. 4 Bucks here.”

Ruth, who was back at their home in Cedar Rapids, saw the text and figured he was still shaking in the stand. She wouldn’t see the buck herself until the following morning, but she already knew that whatever her husband had killed was special.

“I think your typos answered my question about shaking,” she replied.

The Hunt for the 20-Point Buck

It was the day after Thanksgiving, and Grado had been in the stand all afternoon by the time the 20-point buck stepped into view. Perched in an oak tree over a well-worn game trail between the river bottom and a wheat field, he’d

Sometimes, it’s worth stopping and reflecting on all the awesome powder days a season had to offer — especially when conditions aren’t currently cooperating.

If you follow Michael C Wirth’s YouTube channel, you know this guy skis hard, he skis often, and he skis the gnarliest backcountry terrain he can find every season.

You’ll also know that the last few videos Wirth has posted have showcased some of the worst, most atrocious conditions ever. Crusty, wind-swept, exposed runs have plagued Wirth’s season.

Those videos are still exciting. But they can’t compare to Wirth’s powder-day videos. Nothing can elicit a more visceral, emotional response from other skiers and riders than watching someone (like Wirth) get nose-deep in some champagne powder.

Wirth understands this as much as we do.

Nobody likes to be hot and sweaty on the trail. But when things turn from being uncomfortable to becoming downright dangerous, it’s time for quick, on-the-spot emergency action. 

Heat illness is a range of medical conditions that result from the body’s inability to cope with an elevated heat load. When that occurs, it is more commonly referred to as “heat strain.” And whether you’re inactive in a warm, humid environment or participating in strenuous physical activity in the fall or winter, you are at an increased risk of heat illness.

For people who engage in backcountry adventures, heat illness and heat strain are among the many potential health and safety risks. That’s why our instructors at The National Center for Outdoor Adventure Education (NCOAE) include it in our Wilderness Medicine courses. In this post, we bring you up to speed on the basics, including the symptoms to watch for, preventive

Camping is a thrilling and adventurous activity that allows us to reconnect with nature and escape the hustle and bustle of daily life. However, while immersing ourselves in the great outdoors, it is crucial to prioritize safety and security. Properly equipping yourself with the right security gear can make all the difference between a worry-free camping experience and potential hazards. Here, we will explore essential security equipment you should consider when planning your next camping trip.

1. Quality Tent with Reinforced Zippers

Your tent is your primary shelter during camping, and its security features should not be overlooked. Opt for a high-quality tent with reinforced zippers, as they are less likely to break or get stuck, ensuring that your tent remains securely closed at all times. Additionally, choose a tent with double-wall construction to enhance protection against the elements and potential intruders.

2. Lockable Storage Solutions

AllOutdoor Review – 5.11 Tactical TacTec Trainer Weight Vest

To me, 5.11 has always been a company you could count on to provide you with quality gear at a reasonable price. For many years I thought of them as more of a brand for the mall cop, gray men who love to post on the internet about how they recon their route for Black Friday at their local Dicks Sporting Goods. All jokes aside, my opinion of the company has recently peaked as I see them producing more niche items that are quite nice. One of the 5.11s mottos is that they provide purpose-built gear, and the purpose of today’s gear for this review is to make you sweat. While I certainly do not consider myself a cross-fitter or a member of the cult known as Orange Theory, I do enjoy a workout about once a day. When 5.11 asked me back in September if there

The federal government is once again making plans to reintroduce grizzly bears to Washington’s North Cascade Range. The United States Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Park Service announced in November that they would be initiating an Environmental Impact Statement to begin looking at options for restoring a grizzly population in the Pacific Northwest. They plan to do this by relocating bears from British Columbia and the Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem in Northwest Montana.   

“This is a first step toward bringing balance back to the ecosystem and restoring a piece of the Pacific Northwest’s natural and cultural heritage,” Don Striker, the superintendent of North Cascades National Park, said in a news release. “With the public’s help, we will evaluate a list of options to determine the best path forward.”

Not surprisingly, the public’s reaction to this announcement has been mixed. Some proponents have drawn comparisons between the North
