The funk really started to set in around week three, which, all things considered, surprised the hell out of me. I wore the Ibex Naturalist Short Sleeve Crew for an entire month this fall in a quasi-masochist endeavor to understand merino wool better, and despite some protest from my better half, it went a lot better than expected. Merino wool can be tough to justify when it comes to active apparel — it’s undeniably pricey stuff, and it’s not indestructible, oftentimes accumulating holes in high-wear spots. The Naturalist is about as pure merino as you can get, making it the…

When it comes to Hornady, two things are inevitable: introducing new cartridges, and people hating on Hornady’s new cartridge. Americans born the same year that 6.5 Creedmoor was introduced are old enough to vote this year, but that doesn’t stop people from hating on it 18 years later. When Hornady introduced the 338ARC to the public last year, it was immediately met with hate and derision from a few corners of the internet, as well as one outspoken industry ‘personality’ that likely saw it as a threat to one of his pet projects.  Now, 12 months later, how does the…

The Danish Roman Iron Age (AD 1-400) was a time of connectivity, but also a time of turbulence. The impact of this on the development of military power is well illustrated by the large votive weapon deposits discovered across southern Scandinavia, particularly in the regions forming modern-day Denmark and Sweden. Here, we tell the story of a fine example of one of these weapon deposits, from Illerup Ådal in central Denmark… …Study of this subject is bolstered by approximately 15,000 items of weaponry and personal effects that have been recovered from a lake in the Illerup valley, where they were…

My old friend and writing mentor Terrill Hoffman used to say that a folder is just a pre broken knife. He was a believer in carrying a fixed blade for EDC use as there’s no lock to fail, and nothing to go wrong when deploying them. While I do still like folding knives, it’s hard to argue with his logic. If you think the same way, you might be interested in the Pocket Tango series from MKM Knives. The Pocket Tango The MKM Pocket Tango was designed by my buddy David C. Anderson, the face and voice of Knifecenter.com’s YouTube…
