Picatinny Arsenal, N.J.  –   On December 10, 2025, the decision was made to advance the procurement of a carbine variant of the Army’s M7 Rifle, designated the XM8. While not a replacement for the M7, the carbine exemplifies the program’s commitment to rapidly incorporating Soldier feedback. The Army continues to prioritize the modernization of its weapon systems to ensure Soldiers are equipped with the most effective tools for success in diverse operational environments. After considering Soldier feedback during these user evaluations, the Army is now introducing a shorter, more mobile carbine version of the M7 rifle. This reflects the Army’s commitment…

Charlie Berens posted an April Fool’s campaign bit, and somewhere between the AI kill switch, the Sheepshead mandate, and the demand that data centers pay for their own power, the whole joke took a hard turn into uncomfortable realism. That’s what makes it funny, and also what makes it a little bleak. The post, framed as a fake run for governor under the usual Manitowoc Minute flavor of Midwest outdoors absurdity, included a platform built around things that should not be remotely controversial, at least not in a country pretending to be serious. No NDAs for AI data centers: NDAs…

Rheinmetall and Boeing Australia have entered into a strategic partnership to offer the MQ-28 Ghost Bat as a mature solution for the Bundeswehr’s procurement of collaborative combat aircraft (CCA) into Germany by 2029.  Boeing’s MQ-28 Ghost Bat has completed more than 150 flights and has been designed, developed and manufactured in Australia for the Royal Australian Air Force and other allied nations.   A proven autonomous CCA, it will act as a force multiplier, teaming with manned platforms to provide critical combat mass in highly contested airspace. Its modular design and autonomous behaviours support a broad range of mission capabilities,…

On Jan 20., 2025, President Trump issued an executive order that could profoundly affect public lands. “Unleashing American Energy” mandated that the government explore energy production on federal land to achieve American energy independence. A few months later, he issued another order. “Immediate Measures to Increase American Mineral Production” directed the Department of the Interior (DOI) to prioritize energy and mineral production on federal lands. Since those orders, the federal government has sought to economically develop national monuments, wildlife refuges, and wilderness areas, sparking backlash. A recent report from The Wilderness Society (TWS), a conservation nonprofit, identified the landscapes most…

For years, tactically-minded carnivores have been begging KnivesShipFree Research & Development to blend two great tastes: tactical knife design and kitchen cutlery. At long last Head Researcher (and, if rumors are to be believed, shortlist nominee for the Nobel Prize in Physics) J Rouch has delivered, with the Laser-Guided Steak Knife (LGSK), a culinary tool that beefs up its blade with mil-spec tactical tech. “For any enthusiast of modern tactical knife design, the average steak knife is, frankly, prehistoric,” Rouch tells us via secure telecom call from the off-shore KSF Research Facility. “We don’t fight with sticks and stones anymore,…

I used an early version of the Sawyer Squeeze water filter during a thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail, and while it filtered admirably until the end, one thing was immediately clear: the original foil “squeeze” bladders were junk. They filled hiker boxes throughout southern California, all presumably pinholed and binned in favor of other solutions. The fix many settled on was to pivot to a soft TPU bladder, like the CNOC Vecto, which didn’t collect holes and was much easier to scoop from shallow sources thanks to its wide-mouth opening. Sawyer noticed, and now the Squeeze filter is available with…
