That means during preseason, he’s scoping out a new property and setting up his Moultrie Edge 3 trail cameras to plan his hunt. During his first season deer hunting in Southeast Virginia since his grandfather passed, Jack…

More on that in a moment. A Little Etymology First, let’s touch on The Armory Life’s Cantius Award itself. The contributor of the year Cantius Award, now in its…

Ski brands have a bad habit of claiming one product can do everything. All-mountain skis are the worst offenders. Claims get made about a ski being “perfect” for powder, park, racing, backcountry touring, and freeride. And the new 2025-2026 Atomic Maverick 96 CTI has been entered as the brand’s latest “quiver of one.” It’s just not true. Powder skis dominate on powder, and carving skis hold an edge that no all-mountain ski can match. But having ridden the Mavericks 96 CTI in various conditions, from deep powder to hard-packed groomers, I must admit that it’s very darned versatile and more…

Contrary to popular belief, there is a substantial body of evidence suggesting that both the human body and mind are naturally inclined toward conserving energy, often expressed as a predisposition to leniency or reduced effort. Looking at it from a physiological perspective, evolutionary biology indicates that energy efficiency was critical for survival, as food sources were not guaranteed; thus, the body developed mechanisms to minimize unnecessary exertion. This is reflected in neural reward pathways that favor rest and low-effort behaviors when immediate survival is not threatened. Psychologically, cognitive science has documented what Daniel Kahneman termed “System 1 thinking,” a bias…

Savage A22 Takedown (MSRP: $479) A .22LR rifle should be a part of practically every gun owner’s collection. They’re easy and inexpensive to shoot, and are a great way to introduce people to the shooting sports. A .22LR rifle is also a popular rifle for competition and a tool for taking care of small pests, and when loaded with the correct ammunition, can also be surprisingly effective on large, two-legged predators. With all these useful functions, having a .22LR rifle nearby makes a lot of sense. Unfortunately, a .22LR rifle is, well, a rifle, and that means something that is…
