Portable wind turbines are easy to build — and easy to break. YouTube offers an abundance of tutorials for building your own DIY wind turbine. A quick Amazon search of “portable wind turbine” will bring up dozens of options, from a 5W miniature turbine for $12 to large-scale models made for home energy that cost thousands of dollars. For campers seeking mobile power solutions, wind turbines have long been seen as a finicky, unreliable option, especially compared to solar panels. But a Canadian brand claims it has built a turbine that’s sufficiently small, light, and durable to give wind power another…

By Wayne van Zwoll Posted in #Skills #Survival In today’s article, skilled outdoorsman Wayne van Zwoll teaches us how to start a fire. This basic survival skill was once commonly held by Americans. In the modern world, fewer men and women understand the basics of firestarting. If you spend any time outside of the house, this is a valuable ability to learn. “The man flung a look back along the way he had come. The Yukon lay a mile wide and hidden under three feet of ice [and] as many feet of snow…. He was a newcomer…

A couple of years ago, “new knife” usually meant another limited drop that looked good in a lightbox and barely cut tape. The 2025 and early-2026 launches look different. If you scan SHOT coverage, Blade Show roundups, and dealer “best of” lists, you see a pattern: more Magnacut, S35VN, 14C28N, AR-RPM9 and similar working steels, more durable finishes, and fewer wild grinds that only exist for photos. Companies are getting called out quickly when a knife is all flash and no field time, and sales data from big retailers shows mid-priced work folders and hunting blades outrunning a lot of…

If your head is reeling from the major catalog drops this week, take a break and learn about something a little simpler: the Tauron, latest flipper folder from We Knife family brand Sencut. Compared to the collaboration-rich catalogs of its two sister labels, the Sencut offerings rely quite a bit more on the creativity of its in-house design crew. They’ve certainly shown themselves to be a flexible bunch, with designs large and small rolling out at a steady clip; Sencut may not have the name recognition of We or Civivi yet, but with this consistent, varied output it’s well on…

We know that when we are faced with the threat of serious bodily injury or death, our focus will be on the threat. This is not so much a conscious effort as a fact that our natural survival system has taken over. For that reason, our manipulation of our defensive equipment must be practiced until its operation and deployment almost become subconscious functions. This is the main reason so many of us caution against the continual switching back and forth of that equipment—especially our daily-carry guns. While firing the defensive shot should certainly be a conscious decision, getting the gun…

Twenty-five years is a long time to wait, but that’s how long it’s taken for Honda to finally bring back the once-iconic Prelude. Though it may boast a newer, more curvaceous design than the last coupe to make it into U.S. showrooms, the 2026 Honda Prelude doesn’t stray far from its roots as a grand tourer. But there are some key differences, starting with the automaker’s decision to go with a hybrid drivetrain this time. Only one well-equipped version of the new Prelude will be offered, and potential buyers shouldn’t worry. While the gas-electric drivetrain does deliver some impressive fuel economy,…
