Henry Repeating Arms has sold out of its Salute to the United States Marine Corps’ 250th anniversary rifles it introduced in March. That first edition has been discontinued, but to meet demand that has not slowed, the company has created two new models—the Spirit of the Corps 250th Anniversary 2nd Edition .22 S/L/LR and the Spirit of the Corps 250th Anniversary .45-70 Gov’t. “The response to the first rifle was remarkable, and we knew we had to continue this milestone collection for those who missed out the first time around,” said Anthony Imperato, founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms. “These new…

The arrival of autumn means a lot of things to outdoors folk. It’s the start of hunting season, the first step towards cold-weather activities like ice fishing and trapping, and if you’re the type, the first chance to grab a pumpkin spice coffee on your way to the woods. However, for anglers, the start of fall means one thing—the arrival of the baitfish.From the coastal shores of New England to the cold, clear rivers of the Pacific Northwest, every minnow, herring, chub, and shad in the water will gather together in large schools during the fall. These plenitudes of small…

The first decade of the new millennium was something of a golden era for the more casual firearm collectors here in the United States. At that time, the marketplace was replete with internationally manufactured military surplus rifles and handguns selling at impressively low prices. Russian Mosin-Nagant bolt-actions with all-matching serial numbers and the original stocks were selling for $89. I had buddies who were packing Bulgarian and East German Makarovs chambered in the then-plentiful 9×18 mm Makarov pistol cartridge since they were compact, well-made and available for around $200. SKS rifles and Tokarev pistols also abounded at low prices. But…

One year after four dams were removed on the Klamath River spanning the Oregon-California border, fall Chinook salmon have made it into previously inaccessible spawning grounds. Earlier this month, biologists confirmed that multiple Chinook have made it past the old dam sites and into tributaries of Upper Klamath Lake—the longest spawning migration recorded in the drainage for over a century, according to the local Yurok tribe. All said, about 440 miles of new spawning habitat were made available by the dam removals.“The speed and scale of the river’s recovery has exceeded our expectations and even the most optimistic scientific modeling,…

00:00:00 Speaker 1: So being that we are talking and knowing that there are people listening, I would encourage if you take anything away from it today, do that, Like, take five minutes, write a note to somebody in your life, friend, family member, and just tell them thank you, drop it the mail. Like it’s hard not to get emotional right now because it just feels so much gratitude in that, like just thinking of all the people in my life. And I encourage everyone, just like, if you take anything from that this conversation today, just do that…

(Continued from Part 3.) 2.5 – Options For Using Local Cambium Resources If we have prepared beforehand to harvest tree cambium and a Type 2 Emergency (T2E) happens, we will have three main choices to consider in my view. I encourage you to make this decision prayerfully and with your group’s best judgment. Every choice in a disaster is a set of trade-offs with no perfect solutions. If we actively try and help our neighbors early there is no doubt that this will reduce early suffering for some and could lead to ongoing beneficial cooperation. If more people are pulling…

October 23, 1813: The Pacific Fur Company trading post in Astoria, Oregon was turned over to the rival British North West Company. The lucrative fur trade in the Pacific Northwest was dominated for the next three decades by the United Kingdom. — October 23, 1970: Gary Gabelich set an auto speed record of 622.4 mph (1,001 km/h). — Today, we also remember the 220 Marines, 18 U.S. Navy Sailors, and three U.S. Army Soldiers who died on this day in 1983 when terrorists attacked the Beruit Barracks. — SurvivalBlog Writing Contest Today we present another entry for Round 121 of…

The U.S. Supreme Court has denied a petition to review the corner crossing issue, effectively upholding a lower court decision that legalized the practice in six western states.The March ruling by the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals made it legal to access sections of public ground previously considered “corner locked” within Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, Utah, Oklahoma, and Kansas.This means that in those states you can legally “corner cross,” which is the act of crossing from one block of public land to another at the points where the blocks meet. Corner crossers do not set foot on private land, but…

In mid-September, I saddled up for my first whitetail hunt of the season. I’d yet to shoot a public land animal with my bow, but I was full of piss and vinegar. I live in Kansas—the heart of deer country—and I wanted a big buck. One week later, I was a shell of a woman, begging the universe to send me anything resembling a deer so I could remember what they look like.If you hunt long enough for pretty much any game, you’ll eventually find yourself in a slump. A humiliating, demoralizing, and frustrating dry spell. Every failed attempt feels…
