You’re three days into a backcountry trip, your filter cartridge just split, and the only water source is a stagnant pond that smells like a wet bag of ass. Or maybe it’s not a trip at all — the tap ran dry after a storm took out the water treatment plant and you’re standing over a 5-gallon bucket of questionable creek water wondering what you actually know how to do about it.Iodine tablets are the answer everybody memorizes and almost nobody actually carries when it counts. They’re slow, they taste like a swimming pool had a baby with a penny,…
Charred lodgepoles scratching a gunmetal sky reflected my mood. This morning the elk had won. No plan in mind, I climbed beyond where they’d scattered. Probing the slope’s crest from the sit with my binocular, I saw it. Among ranks of black boles with low-arcing limbs, a branch curved up. The lenses of my 7×35 Bausch & Lomb resolved it. Antler! A 4 o’clock tangle became the bull’s hump — all but hidden by the bead on my .32 Special. After the carbine spoke I scaled the scarp and found blood on hoof-gashed snow. The elk lay 50 yards on.…

Recent times have shown an ammunition cache is imperative. But what are the finer points of making certain your ammo supply doesn’t run dry? Ammunition has been harder to come by in quantity over the last several years, with many discovering that they can’t find what they’re looking for either online or at their local gun store. Since a firearm without ammunition is a mere blunt object or display item, it’s in our best interest to ensure we have at least some ammunition on-hand. If you’re the kind of person with the means and ability to purchase ammunition by the…
A Laramie County jury has found 22-year-old Mansoor Ali not guilty of second-degree murder and four counts of aggravated assault and battery. The verdict follows a high-profile trial where Ali’s defense successfully argued that he acted in self-defense when he fatally shot 19-year-old Benjamin Glenn, who had approached Ali with a firearm in a Cheyenne King Soopers parking lot. CHEYENNE, WY — In a case that tested the limits of Wyoming’s self-defense laws, a Cheyenne man has been cleared of all charges related to a fatal September 2025 shooting. On April 29, 2026, a Laramie County jury returned “not guilty”…
The U.S. Navy’s carrier force is the envy of the world, having earned its stripes in the early, dark days of the Pacific War. One of those that first served during that conflict was the USS Card. As an escort carrier, the USS Card served America for almost 30 years and received three Battle Stars and a Presidential Unit Citation. She was responsible for sinking 11 German U-boats as part of a Hunter-Killer Group. During the Vietnam War, she transported much-needed aircraft and supplies. She also made history as being the only aircraft carrier sunk due to enemy action since World War II.…

The firearms industry is currently navigating a period of significant skepticism. For decades, the professional community has rightly prioritized mechanical reliability above all else: the absolute certainty that a tool will cycle when the trigger is pressed. While the “smart gun” niche has long promised enhanced home safety, it has historically failed by prioritizing silicon over steel. The strategic challenge hasn’t been the technology itself, but the integration of that technology without compromising the foundational integrity of the weapon. That’s where the Lodestar LNK9 comes in, and it’s honestly a game-changer in a good way. The Evolution of Personal Protection…

Communication is something most of us rely on constantly without giving it much thought. In everyday life, instant connectivity is assumed. We text, call, navigate, check weather, and share our location without hesitation. The moment that connectivity disappears, its absence becomes immediately apparent. When you step outside normal infrastructure, whether hiking, hunting, camping, or preparing for emergencies, communication shifts from convenience to necessity. In those moments, the ability to signal, transmit information, or call for help can have real consequences. A solid off-grid kit doesn’t rely on just one piece of gear. You want layers — radios, satellite messengers, whistles,…
