Modern technology and outdoor adventure are a better match than many of us might think. From GPS locators to lightweight flashlights to mobile trail cameras, there are many reasons to be grateful for how technological advances can improve time spent in nature. This week’s batch of new gear focuses on…

The U.S. and Iran traded attacks again on Friday, pressuring oil prices and making a quick return to the fragile ceasefire deal signed last month even less likely. Nearly a week of back-and-forth strikes by both sides has expanded beyond strictly military targets to include bridges, utilities and port facilities.…

The Attorney General of New Jersey recently launched a civil lawsuit against former JSD Supply owner Jordan Vinroe. This meritless lawsuit stinks of vindictiveness and oozes with extremely sophomoric immaturity. In 2022 New Jersey enacted a so-called “public nuisance” law pertaining to firearms, firearm-related industry,…

ICAST handed out its New Product Showcase category awards for 2026, recognizing 39 new products across rods, reels, electronics, watercraft, lures, apparel, accessories, and tackle storage.

William Lintag Upham, a former Marine officer and qualified congressional write-in candidate, was arrested and charged on July 16 with threatening to kill President Donald Trump. The charges announced by the Justice Department came after federal agents reviewed social media videos in which Upham allegedly called for the administration’s violent…

When it comes to midsize trucks in the overlanding community, it seems like the Toyota Tacoma steals all of the attention. Don’t get us wrong — it’s a great truck, especially the current generation, but it’s far from the only game in town. Take the Ford Ranger, for example. It’s…

What kind of job can you get if you held a certain role in the military? When you are beginning your military transition, it seems like this should be a really easy question for your military network to answer. After all, you are not the first person to leave the…

Growing up in the South, it wasn’t unusual to see shotguns mounted in the back of my friends’ trucks. Not just while tooling around town, either, but in the school parking lot. No one blinked about it at the time, in part because it was a small private school,…

The Warthog, Hawgs, Thunderbolt II: Whatever you call it, it’s the Air Force’s flying tank. It’s both beloved by ground forces and often resented by the Air Force brass. The Air Force graduated its “last” class of new A-10 pilots in April 2026, but in keeping with tradition, a proposal…

Gun control groups are pretty quiet after the Third Circuit handed down a major ruling on Friday holding New Jersey’s ban on so-called assault weapons and large capacity magazines unconstitutional.  One notable exception is Giffords. Today’s Third Circuit decision striking down New Jersey’s assault weapons ban…

Games are such a wonderful medium, allowing you to see the perspectives of heroes, villains, and everything in between—all while having your hands on the steering wheel, guiding the action. There is no shortage of games that allow you to play as the villain from the outset, or games that…

There’s no place perhaps more associated with rain than the Pacific Northwest, so there’s perhaps no better place to put a rain jacket to the test. I wore the Mountain Hardwear Cloud Cipher Rain Jacket on a week-long, 96-mile backpacking trip along the Oregon coast and the literal rainforests there…

Manufactured homes are eligible for VA loans but lender rules are stricter than site-built homes, and even modular homes. This is because while manufactured homes meet federal standards for construction and safety, they do not necessarily meet state and local regulations, zoning acceptance, and classification. The homes must also meet…

In a long-awaited opinion, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals has released its en banc decision in a trio of cases challenging New Jersey’s ban on so-called assault weapons and large capacity magazines, holding that the ban violates the Second Amendment’s protections for the right to keep and bear…

I bought the Skwama because of Babsi Zangerl. I remember watching videos of Zangerl, one of the best climbers in the world, free climbing on El Cap in a pair of La Sportiva Skwamas ($220) and thinking, I need those shoes. Buying a pair didn’t automatically help me send 5.13+…

Jay Clayton has promised to assess what resources are needed in the cybersecurity space if he becomes the next director of national intelligence (DNI), simultaneously as President Donald Trump issued a fiery speech warning Americans with claims of “vulnerabilities” in election infrastructure. Clayton, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District…

The vast majority of congressional districts are pretty safe for either Republicans or Democrats. Out of 435 House seats, Cook Political Report says just 22 are considered “toss-ups” this fall. Another nine “lean Republican”, and 10 seats “lean Democrat.”  One of those Democrat-leaning districts is…

In 1973, Italy imposed a tax on cars with large-capacity engines in response to the oil crisis of the era. Some performance cars were a lot softer than they should have been as a response. In contrast, one automaker decided not to compromise, and instead set about developing a mighty…

For many of us, no outdoor adventure is complete without time out on the water. Whether it’s by boat or kayak, or just visiting a beach, nothing says the great outdoors like the open water. While states like California and Florida tend to get the most attention for their coastlines,…

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The United States expanded its airstrike campaign against Iran early Friday by hitting more bridges, energy sites and collapsing a tower at a key Iranian port, backing up U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats to start striking infrastructure to pressure Tehran to ease its chokehold…
