Don’t be caught off guard. Prepare yourself by going camping.When it comes to preparedness, testing, practice, and real-world experience is everything. If you have a closet full of gear, but you’ve never really put that gear to the test, then why bother even having it? A bag full of unused equipment isn’t preparedness. It’s just stuff. It only becomes preparedness once you’ve actually proven, with your own hands, that you can use it.Camping, fishing, and hunting are all great ways to relax and spend time with the family.

Interestingly, it was also the second aircraft produced by Curtiss-Wright to earn the designation “Helldiver” after the United States Marine Corps’ version of the Curtiss Falcon, operated by the U.S. Navy as the F8C Falcon. Curtiss SB2C-5 Helldiver of Bombing Squadron Ten (VB-10), USS Intrepid (CV-11), flies over Tientsin, China, as the city is reoccupied by the Allies in September 1945.

These ain’t your kid’s BB guns. They’re powerful enough to take deer. Here we explore the rising trend of air rifle hunting.I was first introduced to modern-day PCP (Pre-Charged Pneumatic) air rifles a bit over a decade ago by a good friend who built custom air rifles. My buddy had been shooting and hunting with PCP air rifles for several years and had taken many exotics and wild boar in Texas, usually shooting .45-caliber round balls. Years before he began making custom rifles, he had hunted with airguns from some of the early custom big-bore air-rifle makers, such as the…
If you carry a Glock 43X or 48, you can now get factory mags with 50 percent greater capacity.A lot of people enjoy carrying Glock’s Slimline pistols, the 43X and 48, because of their small size. What these guns were always lacking compared to similar micro 9mm concealed carry pistols, however, was capacity. Their 10-round mags certainly pushed many to consider other makes and models, while others relied on aftermarket 15-round magazines to up their capacity.
