Like a lot of anglers, I got my intro to fishing with a farm-pond bank, a can of earthworms, and a red and white bobber. Reeling in bluegill (aka bream) was enough to get me hooked on fishing. But as a kid, I saw bream fishing as something to graduate from. I thought trading bobbers and bluegill beds for a bass boat and a baitcaster was just the natural progression of things.But bream aren’t just starter fish. Bluegill, shell crackers, and other sunfish are aggressive little predators. They don’t just cruise around looking for drowning worms or crickets. They’ll chase…
What if someone told you a likely voter who identifies as “very liberal” is more likely to carry concealed than a likely voter who identifies as “very conservative”? You’d likely ask what website printed that statistic. In this case, it came from a very reputable one: the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC). The CPRC hired McLaughlin & Associates to survey 1,000 general election voters on May 19, 2026, to determine how many voters carry concealed handguns. “Hispanic and black voters carry concealed handguns at disproportionately high rates relative to their shares of the voting population,” noted the CPRC. “Perhaps most surprising,…
00:00:01 Speaker 1: Cobeza Devaca was one of the only survivors of a shipwreck that stranded him on the Texas shore in the fifteen twenties, but turned misfortune into one of the great journeys in Western history.

Maybe you’d dream it, which at one insightful moment in the fifteen hundreds, is how a group of Native people located far inland on today’s Lake Superior first understood…

Is the 7x57mm Mauser M1893/95 rifle obsolete? The original 7mm Mauser cartridge is in no way an obsolete cartridge, yet it can be improved when modern powders are used. As of this date, few handloaders are exploring what can be done with the old warhorse when modern propellants are used to make it competitive with modern cartridges such as 7mm-08, 7.62 NATO, and even .308 Winchester. There is no discussion on this topic that I’ve yet found on the Internet. Perhaps we are breaking new ground, as we speak. The Rifle My goal is to develop an optimum load for…
SurvivaBlog Now Comes Fresh Every Tuesday! Today we are commencing our weekly posting schedule, with posts on Tuesdays. After more than 20 years of daily posts I was feeling exhausted. But with this new editorial pace, I’m feeling re-energized and confident that I have another 20 years ahead of me. To recap the changes: Starting today SurvivalBlog will be posted on Tuesdays, and perhaps the occasional Thursday, if the Tuesday posts get too crowded. So you can expect to see SurvivalBlog “Fresh Every Tuesday.” (An homage the late, great Ol’ Remus.) We discontinued the SurvivalBlog Writing Contest. Round 124 was the…
Multi-role rifles, specifically AR-15s, are becoming increasingly more precise, with their main limiting factor being their sighting systems. Low-power variable optics, or LPVOs, have reigned supreme with these firearms, as they provide a close-quarters solution while also offering a means to place rounds on more distant targets. While the industry has mastered the 1X part of the formula, it is forever working on pushing the number on the other side of the hashmark to keep pace with this pattern’s ever-increasing capabilities. Michigan-based Trijicon has pushed the envelope with its Credo line, now offering a compact unit capable of up to…
Research conducted by Responsive Management annually for the Council to Advance Hunting and the Shooting Sports (CAHSS) found that, in 2025, 78 percent of adult residents in the United States believe learning self-defense skills with a firearm is completely acceptable. That figure is up one percent when compared to 2024’s findings. Study results showed 74 percent approve of any form of recreational shooting. Broken down between genders, 85 percent of males approved of the pursuit and 63 percent of females. Those who were ages 35 to 54 were most comfortable with the shooting sports (77 percent), followed by the 55…
