What do you get when the grandson of Porsche’s founder, an influential U.S. land developer, and many of the world’s top automotive enthusiasts get together to party? The FAT Ice Race 2026 Big Sky. More of a party than a serious race, the event is definitely centered on motorsports. Racing extremely valuable, and in many cases very important, automobiles on ice is the centerpiece of the event. But I think all in attendance can agree that it’s more about the people, with about 2,000 people on site this year. This year, Mother Nature made it very hard on organizers and…

X-Bow Completes Largest Privately-Funded Solid Rocket Motor Test by Non-Traditional Contractor X-Bow recently successfully completed testing of the XB-34 Ballesta SRM, one of the largest privately-funded solid rocket motors ever tested by a non-traditional defense contractor. The 34.5-inch diameter XB-34 demonstrates X-Bow’s range from tactical 2-inch motors to strategic-class SRMs. Working Monday-to-Friday and sometimes Saturdays, they’ve tested nearly 300 motors. This venture-backed, dual-use non-traditional, SRM is 30-50% cheaper than comparable existing options with scalable production at the company’s 220-acre facility, capable of producing thousands of motors annually. Transition to Production: In the last 5 months X-Bow has secured three production…

After 17 years of backpacking, I thought I’d seen it all. I’ve been eaten alive by mosquitoes, broken my water filter mid-hike, and endured blister-covered feet. I have slept on the hard ground after my inflatable sleeping pad popped beyond repair, and faced bone-chilling cold when caught in a snowstorm. On one trip, I realized that mice had eaten holes in my underwear — and the list goes on. It’s easy for experienced campers to think they have perfected the art of outdoor survival. But on a backpacking trip in California, an unlikely incident reminded me that one’s education in…

By Adam Scepaniak Posted in #Guns Its popularity is undeniable within the world of firearms. The AR design has been around since the 1950’s and is only becoming more commonplace in the firearms landscape. In addition, the range of variants of this design available these days is staggering. Their uses are as expansive as their designs. You can hunt with them or deploy them for self-defense, competition, recreational shooting and more. So, it begs the question: Is the AR-15 a suitable option for new shooters? [Be sure to read Alan Rice’s Springfield SAINT B5 review.] Following are…

Fresh off the energy of Team USA’s hockey gold and staring down a 20-inch snow forecast, I finally sat down to write about a tool that’s earned its keep over the last month: the Kizer Rook. I’m a big fan of the Nessmuk knife style; the fat belly on a drop-point blade sets the tone for opportunity. Whether you’re hunting, gathering, or just completing a few random tasks, the Nessmuk exudes “old reliable.” Knifemaker Vincent Rizzo nailed the materials of the Rook — AEB-L steel and Micarta were great choices for a knife of this ilk. However, the real stars are…

Rechargeable, the light will run for at least two weeks on a full charge making it ideal for most field problems and perfect for Guard and…

We examine just how vastly CCW laws can vary between states in the U.S and how to navigate that while traveling.Constitutional carry exists in some states, like my home state of West Virginia. If I’m traveling south, most of those states also have permitless carry, too … but Virginia and North Carolina do not. If I travel north, things change because few of those states have permitless carry and some have no reciprocity with West Virginia.If you’re traveling with a self-defense handgun, it’s important for you to know the law in every state you will pass through.Possession/OwnershipFirst, I need to…
