OUTDOORS

It’s time to say goodbye to the bushcraft camp. We are done. I’ve enjoyed building this bushcraft camp and turning it into a super shelter over the years. It’s been fun doing solo overnight camping trips in this camp but it is time for a change. The bushcraft camp update series is what put my

Luke Cuenco   03.29.22 Suppressors are great tools and safety devices for all shooters – including hunters. Hearing damage is not just incurred from sudden loud noises but stacks up over time with repeated or constant exposure to louder than normal noises. This means that everyone from humble rimfire varmint hunters all the way up to big

I’m back at the bushcraft camp! This time I’m focusing on improving my ‘A’ frame shelter. I’m using a tarp to make it more waterproof and I also made it larger to store logs and have more space etc. I finally finished the 4th wall of the camp! Took me ages but it’s done now.

Luke Cuenco   03.30.22 Long camping trips that go outside of your own property pose a significant risk of moisture exposure the longer they last. While a lot of your guns, gear, and ammunition are probably rated to be exposed to moisture, you don’t ever want to leave your stuff soaking wet for long lest it damages

Luke Cuenco   03.29.22 Otis Technology is proud to introduce its very own lineup of passive, electronic, and Bluetooth-enabled hearing protection with the new EarShield Ranger lineup. The new EarShield Rangers seem to be priced competitively, feature modern electronics, removable and replaceable earcups, auto-off functionality, and an adjustable headband. If you’re keen on keeping your hearing around

Luke Cuenco   03.24.22 Hunting Turkey with a shotgun is probably the most common way to accomplish this perhaps once-a-year task. While other methods do exist, nothing is more reliable and consistent than a good hunting shotgun. EAA is happy to present their MC312 Gobbler turkey shotgun which is loaded down with features that allow it to

Derrek Sigler   03.24.22 One of the most important and essential pieces of equipment you need for fishing is a good fishing reel. The depth of fishing reels across the various types of angling adventures is broader than you’d probably imagine, so how do you pick the best fishing reel for you? It takes a blend of

Morgan Rogue   03.25.22 I can’t believe I’m about to write a review about a compost toilet. But honestly, I think they’re truly underrated, whether for everyday living, RV vacations, or for emergencies; compost toilets are the way to go. When we were thinking of going off-grid and living full time in an RV, my husband brought

Luke Cuenco   03.25.22 It’s that time again! Time to break out your turkey shotguns! Don’t have one? Don’t worry! Weatherby has just announced the latest addition to their extensive lineup of sporting and hunting shotguns with the introduction of their new Weatherby Element Turkey shotgun. This new shotgun takes all the best things that customers love

Morgan Rogue   03.24.22 When I first saw the comfort concealment belt, I was skeptical. How could this skinny-looking thing really keep my firearm secure and concealed? It didn’t compute.  When you are looking for a good concealed carry setup one of the biggest things to keep in mind is retention. Will this setup have enough retention

Morgan Rogue   03.22.22 About 5 years ago I received a Solo Stove Lite as a gift. I wasn’t really sold on the whole Solo Stove idea at the time. I had built a rocket stove which seemed like the same concept and I felt content with that. However, when I used the Solo Stove Lite for

We continue to build a log house in the woods using hand tools. We finish the thatch on the roof of the bushcraft saxon house. Using our hands and a piece of flat wood, we blend the thatching of the roof to make it better for rain to run off. I then climb the wood

Luke Cuenco   03.22.22 Rimfire pistols are somewhat of an enigma and often are the butt of many jokes when it comes to things like reliability or ergonomics. Outside of a few rimfire clones of centerfire pistols, no one has really made the effort to release a polymer gripped rimfire pistol that has been designed from the

Morgan Rogue   03.21.22 The hobo stove is a simple stove made out of tin cans. The name tends to upset people but it got its name from hobos using these tin cans during the great depression. And did you know that the term ‘hobo’ actually means migrant worker? Those working along the railroad would often use

Join us for a cabin vs hammock solo overnight camp. We do a double overnighter, Dad stays in his tiny cabin, and I sleep in a hammock alone under the stars. We go head to head and compare the cabin against the hammock. We both cook up a feast. Dad cooks on his woodstove in
