BEARS IN THE BACKCOUNTRY. OH, MY. [Editor’s Note] The following article contains graphic images of the aftermath of a bear attack. Bret Bohn doesn’t remember how fast he was moving or if his feet were even touching the ground. As he rushed down the snow-covered bank toward what was surely a bloody horror, there was a very real possibility that he and his father would soon be dead. The 35-year-old hunting guide and resident of Wasilla, Alaska, had just watched in shock as a hulking 8-foot grizzly bear plowed into his father at full speed. “It looked like a semitruck…

Read almost any emergency checklist and pay attention to the person it was apparently written for.That person can carry cases of water up the stairs, walk several miles without help, sleep on a gym floor, eat whatever food is handed to him and go several days without medication. He can hear emergency instructions, understand them immediately, load his own vehicle and evacuate without arguing, panicking or becoming confused. If the power goes out, he grabs a flashlight.

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI (CHATGPT), stood in front of a packed Chase Center alongside Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan and described a future where ordinary people have no freedom, no agency and no privacy. In his version of what the world could look like ten years from now, artificial intelligence cures cancer, produces endless material abundance and takes care of nearly every human need. In return, people live inside a perfect surveillance state where the machines provide comfort while human beings are left with nothing meaningful to do.The quote that spread across the internet was blunt enough:“You will have…

Shooters achieve their greatest accuracy with shooting while using both of their hands. However, there are several scenarios where one-handed shooting is required.

I don’t think we will ever know, but legend also tells us that during a gunfight with Davis Tutt in Springfield, Missouri, in 1865, Wild Bill shot Tutt through the heart at 75 yards with either a 0.36-caliber Navy Colt or a 0.44-caliber Colt’s Dragoon.

The Washington Post ran a story this morning about a desert town that came within weeks of dry taps, with a warning that others are lined up behind it. The town is Kearny, Arizona. Two thousand people in Pinal County, about an hour and a half southeast of Phoenix, built in the 1950s to house the crews working the Ray Mine.I want to spend some time on it because of one detail that most of the coverage treats as background: the Gila River was running the whole time. Water in the channel, water in the wells, and the town legally…
