Learn More The Barkley Marathon is one of the most unique and challenging long-distance footraces in the world. Not just because of its distance but also because it doesn’t follow any kind of traditional trail. Runners bushwhack, traverse, and navigate through truly wild and untamed terrain of Frozen Head State Park in Tennessee. There have been many years when no one finished the race at all. But between 2023 and 2024, a record eight people finished the Barkley Marathon — so this year, for 2025, the…

By Jeremy Tremp If you’ve carried a firearm for any length of time, you’ve likely experienced the shift in your behavior, awareness, and focus when you are out and about in public. I like to refer to this as the “Protector Mindset”. Prior to carrying a firearm, I would go throughout my day semi-oblivious to the world around me. Don’t get me wrong, I was better than the average cell phone zombie, but I didn’t have a reason to be vigilant and aware. When I started strapping a 9mm to my hip, I recognized that carrying a firearm every day…

Every now and again I end up down a rabbit hole. Mark and I were talking about the relative prices of the knives in our kitchen blocks, remarking on various production and custom pieces in our sets. I have one random knife in my block, which I use for a specific purpose, but it is not the single purpose tool meant specifically for the task. I bake a lot of bread from scratch. The last step, before the loaf goes in the oven is “scoring” the outside to provide an outlet for the steam created when baking. I use a…

A law banning ninja swords is set to come into force by summer after a “relentless” campaign by the family of a murdered teenager. Ronan Kanda, 16, was stabbed to death with a ninja sword yards away from his home in Wolverhampton in 2022 in a case of mistaken identity. Now, the final part of Ronan’s Law, a series of anti-knife crime measures, will make it illegal to possess, sell, make, or import ninja swords from 1 August. To quote the late, great Thomas Wolfe, “The dark night of fascism is always descending in the United States and yet lands…

Henry Repeating Arms announced a firm commitment to establishing 100 percent of its manufacturing operations in the state of Wisconsin early last week.

JP Enterprises (JPE) is no stranger to AR-pattern 9mm firearms. Besides the PCC GMR-15 models, the company also offers the unique JP5 pistol-caliber carbine. This carbine is best described as the marriage between the well-known roller-delayed blowback action of the HK MP5 and the more practical format of an AR-15. In order to pull this concept from abstraction into reality, the engineering team at JPE designed a proprietary AR-pattern upper / lower receiver set along with a unique bolt-carrier that feeds from 9mm Glock magazines. The end-result is one of the most reliable and smooth-shooting 9mm AR-style pistol caliber carbines…

An eerie fog swirls around your boots as you lead your infantry platoon through the increasingly dark forest. A twig snaps, and the bushes rustle ominously 50 meters to the west. Suddenly, from the shadows emerges either one angry horse-sized duck or 300 angry duck-sized horses. Given a choice, which would you rather fight? I wager you would much rather focus all of your attention on the one goliath duck than have to deal with a deluge of tiny horses. This may be just a silly thought exercise, but the concept has merit. Although the weight of one horse is…
