I am fortunate to live where carry of a firearm in a vehicle is not a legal concern and therefore routinely have a carbine readily accessible in my car and home at all times. Most defensive mined people who are serious about self-reliance have a handgun prepped and ready around the house, in the car […]
How to Deal With Civil Unrest
We are at a volatile point in the history of these United States. There seem to be two sides that absolutely despise each other. It has gotten to the point in some circles that they no longer even talk to each other, and some even “unfriend” each other on social media platforms. To be sure, […]
Should You Draw Your Gun When Staring Down A Barrel Yourself?
For a recent defensive gun use story I wrote, a social media commentator mentioned that she didn’t see a problem with drawing your gun when you’re looking down the barrel of a gun yourself. Her language was actually much more colorful than that, but I’ll spare you the details. I thought I’d take a minute […]

Why Are Red Flag Gun Laws Unconstitutional?
It’s no secret that anti-gun politicians are once again turning a tragedy into a political scheme as they attempt to violate the rights of Americans. Once again, their goal is to punish the rest of gun-owning America for the acts of just a few deranged nut-jobs all in the name of “the children.” Don’t even […]
JM4 Tactical Coffee Review
I’m a huge coffee drinker, and I don’t just mean because I’m enormous and happen to drink this magical wake up juice. I mean that I look forward to my coffee in the morning and enjoy each and every sip of it. While I’d drink any coffee if necessary, I’m actually fairly picky when it […]
How Sportsmen and Women Can Give Back
How many years have you been hunting, fishing, or maybe just enjoyed being outdoors and observing wildlife? For me it has been a lifetime, as I suspect it has been for many folks reading this. Most outdoorsmen/women would fall into the conservationist category rather than preservationist. Meaning that if you use the resource in a […]
Vanquest IBEX-26 Backpack Review
Although I am not what you would consider a serious backpacker, I do get into remote country often. Always on the lookout for just the right day pack for hunting or to just carry some basic gear, I recently took to the Guadalupe Mountains of West Texas to try out the Vanquest Ibex-26 Pack. The […]
