Jordan Estrada   10.26.21 Deer’s Looking at you, Kid When I got my hunter safety certificate several decades ago, experienced hunters talked about tree stands like they were a cloak of invisibility. “Deer don’t look up,” they would say. “You’re up in a tree stand, you don’t even need to wear camo.” Maybe that was true twenty

Luke Cuenco   10.25.21 Depending on where in the country you’ve grown up, winter gear can either be as familiar to you as your underwear is or completely foreign to you. Having grown up in the pacific northwest, and has traveled extensively through Canada during the winter months, I’ve had my fair share of experience with cold

Rusty S.   10.24.21 In this episode of TFBTV, Hop previews the newest model of the venerable Mossberg 590 shotgun: the 590S. The Mossberg 590S is everything you know and love about the 590, but with some internal tweaks that allow it to reliably cycle mini shells without the use of an adapter. The new 590S, and

Morgan Rogue   10.20.21 I love being able to find free food in the wild. Searching for and identifying wild edibles seems intimidating because of the mass amount of plants, as well as the consequences in case you identify incorrectly. I get that. That’s what this post is about! To give you confidence to get out there

Ben Ryder   10.22.21 Let’s take a look at another great option in the Ultralight hunting rifle market, the Christensen Arms Mesa Titanium Edition. The rifle market has changed dramatically over the last few decades and if you are still hunting with your dad or granddads old rifle, it may be time to consider an upgrade. While

Join me on a solo winter bushcraft camp in the snow. I set up the canvas lavvu tent, install the woodstove and make a fire in preparation for the incoming snowstorm. Winter camping in the snow can be great fun if you are prepared with the right winter clothing and sleep system. During the first

Derrek Sigler   10.21.21 With the rumor mill swirling with notions of supply chain shortages, it is a good idea to start picking up holiday gifts while the stuff you want is in stock. It is even better when you can save some money with select retailers offering early-bird holiday sales. If you’re on the lookout for

Luke Cuenco   10.20.21 The ubiquitous camp shovel (or E-Tool/Entrenchment Tool) is something that every camper should have as part of their standard camping tool kit. For those that don’t know, a camp shovel or e-tool is a miniaturized and usually foldable shovel that can be packed away and carried along with you for a variety of

Luke Cuenco   10.19.21 The combat or tactical knife is considered by many to be a relic of the past. Perhaps something to be used more as a tool rather than a weapon. However true that may be with the advent of modern firearms and sidearms, the knife can still be a handy defensive tool that also

Jordan Estrada   10.12.21 How long can you subsist on beef jerky, granola bars, and trail mix before your body demands a real meal? Mountain House and Backpacker’s Pantry products are great, but what else could you use from a regular supermarket? It’s no secret that specialty foods marketed to the outdoor community have a high per-calorie

Nicolas Lenze   10.15.21 Eyewear can serve so many different purposes in our lives. From helping us see street signs while driving to looking like Tom Cruise, glasses can make it easier to navigate life (and sometimes dating). Sunglasses can be especially helpful. I live in Colorado and we have more sunny days than not. On many

Morgan Rogue   10.15.21 Overlanding is a truly unique experience. Take your off road vehicle on a journey through the less traveled roads and see views and scenery you may never experience otherwise. You may choose to pull a trailer, pitch a tent, setup a roof top tent or just sleep in your vehicle; the options are

Justin Mastine-Frost   10.15.21 An EDC knife, as many know, is something that suits daily use and daily carry—hence the every day carry acronym—and its been a mighty good year in the category. This far into the year, there are a lot of things competing for space in the best EDC knives of 2021 list, and frankly there are

Luke Cuenco   10.12.21 Bone saws might sound terrifying with their name for the unfamiliar but bone saws are actually fairly common pieces of kit to keep around for outdoorsmen. Despite their name, bone saws can be used for a lot more than cutting through game animals for processing. Things like wood, plastic, or the film surrounding

Luke Cuenco   10.13.21 Winter is fast approaching and now is the time to get your winter gear ready so you don’t get stuck inside. Snowshoes are one of the best ways to get around in freshly fallen snow and sometimes it’s the only safe way to get around in those types of conditions. While we’ve come

Luke Cuenco   10.10.21 Chronographs are a somewhat obscure but super important piece of kit that any serious shooter should own. Whether you’re using it to test out new types of ammo or are a hardcore reloader and are trying to dial in your latest loading for hunting season, a chronograph can give you a solid read
