We’ve been in a bit of a fixed blade mood since we covered some the new models in that genre from Civivi/We and TOPS – and today we’re looking at one from Boker, the outdoors-focused Overnighter. Florian Prößl is the custom maker behind the Overnighter design. Prößl works under the shop name FP Knives, and unsurprisingly the man has a way with fixed blades. Like many who focus on the fixies, this Bavarian bladesmith has quite an extensive portfolio, rife with variations, and it’s easy to get distracted by the many handsome pieces he has created – but if you…

There’s $25 million on line — if they can break records this weekend, some of them will be going home with a lot of money. The Enhanced Games are the newest, most bizarre, and intriguing pro sports event out there, and it’s causing a stir. Surrounded by controversy and…

By Peter Suciu Posted in #History Few military platforms were as “game-changing” as the Royal Navy’s HMS Dreadnought. Whereas tanks, airplanes and even small arms saw evolutionary improvements, this one battleship was truly revolutionary in design. The commissioning of the HMS Dreadnought in 1906 could also be seen as the climax of an era of changes that began with the launch of HMS Warrior more than four decades earlier. So significant were the advancements with this one ship that it rendered nearly all existing battleships obsolete and vulnerable. HMS Dreadnought was the first battleship to feature a…

A property referred to on realty websites as “Laurel Hill Farm” recently came to my attention. The house is modest with a large plot of over 78 acres. All-in-all it appears as a comfortable country home. But that’s not what caught my attention.

TopOak’s Galaxy Pro is a lower-priced hardshell rooftop tent with a lot packed into it. It has an aluminum shell, roof bars, integrated power access, a heater vent, interior lighting, and enough room inside to sleep without feeling pinned against the walls.

Once it was mounted and set up, the Galaxy Pro was comfortable, practical, and easy to like. Getting it there took work. The mattress was one of the better rooftop tent sleep…

Leonardo has unveiled Guardian Vantage, a new land-based Electronic Warfare (EW) and Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) capability which detects, recognises, identifies and locates enemy emissions on the battlefield.

Guardian Vantage provides real time battlefield intelligence on emitting enemy systems such as radars, uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) and communications. This information can then be exploited by friendly forces for surveillance and target acquisition, to ultimately understand who the enemy is, where…
