Pietta has just announced a new .357 Magnum double-action revolver with a design inspired by the classic Colt Python.We don’t know much about it yet, but Pietta of Italy is making a clone of the iconic Colt Python .357 Magnum DA/SA revolver. We’re not even sure what it will be officially called yet, as one graphic released by Pietta refers to it as the PDA .357 Magnum and another calls it the Blacktooth. Regardless, the graphic bearing the Blacktooth moniker became the cover photo for Pietta’s Facebook account last month along with the text “Coming 2026.” It’s safe to assume…

Camping in the winter is not for the faint of heart. It’s cold. It’s wet. And it requires a lot of gear and layers. But the best part about camping in the off-season is that it’s typically uncrowded, quiet, and beautiful. I’ve always been a fan of sleeping outside. I love the smell of campfires, the fresh air, and waking up to the sun. I used to think winter meant less time doing the things I love, but as I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned I can spend just as much time outdoors during the colder months, as long as I…

There’s no telling where you’ll find cryptocurrency these days. I spent some of my winter break hiking near the small town of Brevard, N.C., where I was surprised to see a Bitcoin ATM advertised on the sign of a gas station that looked like it was built in the 1960s.

When most of us think about investing in quality tools and knives, I think most of us initially think to buy a pocket knife or a multitool. Sure, those items are more fun to own initially, but what is a tool that almost everyone is going to use multiple times a day? We all need food so there for we all need to cook some meals every now and then, right? For this reason, I feel that a kitchen knife might be one of the most highly used knives anyone can own in their collection. If you do the math,…

A Montana Army National Guard pilot pled no contest to a misdemeanor trespassing charge after landing a military helicopter on private land to collect elk antlers. The charge stems from an incident in May 2025. Three Montana Army National Guard members were flying a UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter on what was described as an authorized training flight when they diverted from their mission. The helicopter landed on private ranch land in Sweet Grass County without the landowner’s permission. According to prosecutors, the landing was deliberate, made to allow the crew to collect elk antlers. Witnesses later reported seeing the helicopter on…

Knife people love to argue about steels, locks, and edge geometry, but in the woods you are far more likely to lose a folder because the pocket clip quietly let go than because the blade or pivot actually failed. The clip is the weak link between your expensive tool and the forest floor, and when it bends, loosens, or snags, your knife can vanish without a sound. If you treat the clip as a disposable accessory instead of life support for your edge, you are effectively gambling every time you step off the trail. When you think about catastrophic knife…
