Each person’s needs are different and dictate what kind of holster — and tilt — are appropriate.

I had the pleasure of taking a singleHellcat to 20K in an extremely demanding torture/survival test. Plain and simple, the Hellcat family of pistols simply run, and can handle a lot of abuse. In smaller guns with tighter geometry, this can be even more important to confirm. TheHellcat Pro has proven to be an ultra-reliable performer. But can it defeat a demanding mixed ammo torture test?

November 9th, 2022 6minute read As survival tools go, I was missing one. I needed a heavy-bladed hard-use tool to include with my outdoor gear. Called the Halfachance, this blade looked like the right survival tool for me. Subject of this review: the CRKT Halfachance. A parang-style knife, the author found it to be an excellent work and survival tool. But looks can be deceiving. I needed to know if this tool would perform in the real world....
Vietnam bring-backs were an option, but they were and always have been both rare and expensive. Even if you could find a gun, the 7.62x39mm ammo it fired was comparably scarce. But, I seem to recall they cost $1,000 apiece even back in the early 1980s. The Type 56 AK rifle as imported in the 1980’s was a superb piece of kit. That would be about $4,400 today. The first of the genre was imported by Clayco....

November 5th, 2022 4:35 runtime Shooting with Holosun night vision gear is about as cool as it gets. Holosun Optics has been making some fantastic-quality optics at reasonable prices for quite some time now. They have also made a good name for themselves on the quality and customer care side. As cool as it gets — shooting a Springfield SAINT with night vision ready-gear from Holosun. For the night shoot, I was able to get a hold of the companys HE512T-RD optic....
But first, we need to talk about personalization. No One-Size Fits All Im fat. No two ways about it. There are a multitude of options when it comes to buying a carry pistol. Where do you start, and are you making any mistakes? I didnt used to be. I once was the definition of a beanpole, spanning six feet tall and weighing 125 pounds.

He wrote it all down because that was the law, but nobody ever looked at it. Now just imagine how many times that exchange took place every day in America....

October 31st, 2022 4minute read Food preservation is a big deal in the overall disaster prep landscape. Weight can be a significant concern, as well as ease of preparation. Even the amount of trash youll generate can be an issue since you have to pack it out later. Personally, I like having hot food; there is just something about having a full, warm belly. For these reasons and more, freeze-dried single meals are highly popular options....
Before Grants 68-mile backpacking trip through Colorado, his bushcraft knife failed on him. First Impressions Matter Grant was impressed before he even opened the package. The White River knife comes in a fine box. The box almost looks like something that would hold a fine cigar collection. Many decent knives come with awful sheaths that can negatively impact the entire experience with the blade. However, White River didnt pull its punches on quality here....
