As my buddy and I crested the top of a steep ridge, we stopped for a quick breather. The midday heat had arrived, and after ripping ourselves to shreds in the dense vegetation of middle Tennessee bluff country, things were getting sweaty. My buddy pointed at the KUIU Rival Turkey Vest I was wearing and said, “I need to get something like that. My stinkin’ vest is too dang heavy for this type of thing.” The “type of thing” we were doing was one of the more brutal ways I’ve chased gobblers. We were in his boat on a local…

Bass anglers are the epitome of gear hoarders. I myself am guilty of it. Fortunately, my obsession with bass fishing has put me in a great position to test out the best bass fishing reels on the market. Over the last year, I’ve spent over 90 days on the water, testing six new reels to determine which are best for different anglers, budgets, and techniques. I tested them myself and had my guided clients put them through the wringer. I found clients consistently gave the same feedback, and the cream rose to the top. The standout reels, and my personal…

The 1Up Heavy Duty isn’t just another tray-style hitch bike rack: It’s a statement piece. For those of us who drive backroads like we rip a good downhill, we know getting to the trailhead isn’t always a Sunday drive. It usually involves bouncing along a dirt road filled with potholes. So, for riders who invest as much into their shuttle rig as they do their bike, a good bike rack is a make-or-break: It’ll be a daily driver or a full-on overland build.  Matching a daily driver rack to my F-150 Raptor, which is designed for rough roads, I needed…

In the ongoing public debate about border wall construction on public lands in the Southwest, there has been one critical resource for activists, local residents, nonprofits, and journalists: The Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Smart Wall map. This interactive digital map, freely available on CBP’s website, showed where construction was planned and in progress, and the type of structures, all in great detail. As of Thursday, April 23, that map is gone, vanished from the site without a trace. There is now no way for the public to know where and when construction will occur in national parks, national monuments,…

As someone whose closet is overbrimming with down jackets, I speak from experience when I say I’ve got beef with outdoor apparel brands. When it comes to women’s jackets, brands almost always choose a too-slim fit with narrow shoulders. Even when I size up, I often don’t have a full range of motion in my arms and shoulders. I expected the same thing to happen a few months ago when I put on Outdoor Vitals’ (OV) Zulu Down Jacket for the first time. And yet, after I zipped it up, to my surprise, I could fully move my arms. If…

By Will Dabbs, MD Posted in #Guns Springfield Armory came out with their Hellcat micro-compact pistol in 2019. The Hellcat helped establish the entirely new genre of micro-compact concealed carry pistols. Where previously you had the option of either a full-sized 9mm service pistol or an underpowered pocket gun, the Hellcat packed proper thump and respectable capacity in a package that would be easy to hide. The concealed carry world would never be the same. In the past six years, the Hellcat has evolved significantly. While the beating heart remains the Browning-designed short-recoil, tilting-lock action that drives…
