ERGO Grips joined thousands of walkers nationwide this fall for the annual Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s. Team ERGO walked in loving memory of company founder Stephen Hines and his wife, Barbara, both of whom battled dementia in their later years.

It was one of the nation’s largest events, raising awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support and research focused on finding effective medical treatment and preventive measures. Team ERGO proudly wore custom purple shirts dedicated to Steve and Barbara and carried photos celebrating…

Carrying a handgun requires careful consideration, as there are several types of threats that you can encounter. While we often spend dozens of hours thinking about the firearm itself, but quite often, little thought is put into the ammunition that we load into that firearm. Most of us chose options that defend against a human threat. While this is certainly prudent, for those of us who are more isolated, or for the times that we find ourselves enjoying the great outdoors, there are options for defending against the rest of the animal kingdom. Venomous snakes rise to the top of…

00:00:00 Speaker 1: Dude, So like a Farmer we’ve been doing. Josh Allen, the Bills quarterback, and I started Like a Farmer podcast probably two years ago. We had no idea what we were going to do, but we knew we wanted to highlight kind of rural America and we had to select few pillars under this umbrella that we really wanted to focus on. You know, outdoors, and that’s anything outdoors y’all get it. I mean, just getting outdoors, whether it’s hunting, fishing, farming, sports was a big thing. I think we’ve probably narrowed down sports that we’ve wanted…

The following is my list of recommended features and some features to avoid, when looking  for a general coverage receiver. This is based upon my personal experience over the years as a shortwave listener (SWL) and Amateur Radio operator. Frequency Coverage: Look for a minimum frequency coverage of 500 kHz to 30 MHz. This covers the AM broadcast band (520 – 1710 kHz) and all of the shortwave broadcast bands (2 – 30 MHz). Coverage of the FM broadcast band (88-108 MHz) is also highly desirable. Digital frequency display: Allows precise tuning to a specific frequency. Avoid any radios with…

In the mid-19th century, a number of notable gunmakers developed transitional designs as firearms evolved from the muzzleloaders to breechloaders. Westley Richards, a British firm, developed a breechloading cavalry carbine that, due to its unique mechanism, earned the name “Monkey Tail” carbine. Watch our “American Rifleman Television” I Have This Old Gun segment above to learn the history of this unique “capping breechloader.” “Westley Richards is a venerable English firearms manufacturer. It’s been around since 1812, and it’s still currently manufacturing firearms to this day,” NRA Museum Director Philip Schreier said. “In the 19th century, one of their innovative military…

00:00:05 Speaker 1: On this New Year’s Eve, I’d like to go back into the Bear Grease archives to a unique standalone episode about Southern comedian Jerry Clower. Something about the holidays can make us nostalgic, and I’ve been thinking about this one, which originally aired a March twenty third, twenty twenty two. That seems like so long ago. Man, the years just kind of roll by. I vividly remember that I drove eight hours just a few days before this episode aired to meet with Jerry Klower’s former neighbor in a Mitt County, Mississippi. After we called the town…

00:00:04 Speaker 1: Hey, everyone, welcome to Foundations. I’m your host Tony Peterson, and today’s episode is all about taking the right approach to researching your new puppy. It’s a pretty good idea to not be overly impulsive in life, at least when it comes to the big decisions. You know, you wouldn’t want to marry someone you met a week ago anymore than you’d want to buy a house like just on a whim, you know that kind of thing. This also goes for getting a new furry best friend who is very likely to be with you for…
