Packing a truck for a hunting trip is part logistics, part intuition. Every loadout is shaped by variables — weather, terrain, trip length, and who’s riding with you — but the goal is always the same: arrive with a camp that’s safe, efficient, and comfortable enough to recover for the next day’s hunt. After nearly a decade of loading a Ram 1500 for hunt and fish camps, I’ve learned that the best truck camps aren’t overpacked — they’re intentionally packed. Explore Ram LD Trucks Below is a system that works across seasons and styles of hunting. Step 1: Start With the…

Pro female climbers are achieving at the highest levels. Competition climbing’s most dominant athlete is a woman: two-time Olympic champion Janja Garnbret. In outdoor climbing, the gap between the hardest-ever climbs by men and women is minimal (5.15d versus 5.15c, and V17 versus V16). Some take this as evidence that the sport has overcome its unsavory history of sexism. It hasn’t. While, as early as 2015, some male climbers began arguing that paying special attention to things like first female ascents (FFAs) was no longer necessary and that any misogyny lingering within climbing was just a reflection of society at…

When a male hiker was stranded on a mountain near Phoenix for 13 hours last week, he got help from a surprising source: a weight-bearing drone. In a first-of-its-kind mission for the area, the Phoenix Fire Department used a DJI drone to send supplies to the injured hiker on Camelback Mountain, keeping him safe until rescuers could finally reach him in the morning. It all started last week, when Phoenix’s first responders received reports of a stranded hiker around 8 p.m. on the evening of Tuesday, Dec. 16. They were able to locate the hiker using a helicopter, but decided…

By Will Dabbs, MD Posted in #History The Schutzstaffel was a fascinating mob. Few organizations were more reviled during WWII than the feared SS. Universally feared on the battlefield while being justifiably vilified for their well-documented atrocities, Himmler’s black-clad storm troops were history’s original jack-booted thugs. First-Person Impressions of the MP35 I had a friend who has since passed who landed on Omaha Beach at 1400 hours on 6 June 1944. He said that, by the time he hit the beaches, most of the machine guns had been silenced. However, the German mortars and artillery still took…

When it comes to leathers, there are different characteristics between different animals’ hides. This means that they have different material qualities that affect how holsters hold up long-term. Although steerhide is one of the most common leathers to use in holster making, it isn’t uncommon for many holster makers to offer horsehide holster options for customers in need of a holster with a greater degree of durability. From a leather standpoint, horsehide has a denser structure which makes it more resistant to humidity and sweat. For certain wearers, horsehide is a favorite for hard-use IWB holsters. Seeing how this type…
