If you’re reading this, you obviously survived June 13, the only Friday the 13th we’ll see in 2025.But don’t get too cocky. We’ll face three such unlucky Fridays in 2026, the maximum possible in a calendar year, according to TimeAndDate.com, an astronomy website.If you’re like me, you won’t see any of them coming. More likely, your spouse or other loved one will casually mention the day’s arrival during breakfast, much as my wife did back in June. That’s when I predictably responded:“Whenever it’s Friday the 13th, I think of Cuz Strickland.”And then my wife nodded silently, hoping I wouldn’t tell…

That was quick. A Michigan ice fishing season opened at 8 a.m. on Saturday, February 7, only to close 48 minutes later after the harvest quota was met.The quick season—if you want to call it that—took place on Black Lake, which is situated in Cheboygan and Presque Isle Counties, and was for lake sturgeon, a relatively rare, slow-growing fish that first appeared in the fossil record 100 million to 150 million years ago, according to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR).Lake sturgeon population declines were recorded in Michigan and elsewhere throughout the Great Lakes, Mississippi, and Hudson River basins…

Warne announces the release of its new MaxLite MSR Scope Mount, a lightweight, budget-oriented optic-mounting solution designed specifically for modern sporting rifles. Properly mounting an optic to any firearm involves using quality gear, and Warne is one of the leading names in optic-mounting hardware. Most of the company’s mounts, because of the precise engineering that goes into Warne products, can be on the pricier side of the economic equation, which might tempt some firearm owners into looking at less expensive, lower-quality options. With the new MaxLite MSR Scope Mount, however, the same quality for which Warne is known is now…

Armed Citizen® Today A couple stopped in Arlington, Texas, for gas during the early morning hours of Feb. 9. As the man pumped the fuel, however, a woman armed with a knife approached and allegedly began attacking his vehicle with his wife still inside. The man withdrew toward another vehicle, but the woman followed and again began striking that vehicle. The man produced his firearm and warned the woman verbally not to approach, but she reportedly continued to move toward him, whereupon he shot her once in the leg. The 58-year-old suspect was taken to the hospital in serious condition;…

Welcome to another episode of I Carry. In this week’s feature, we’re taking a look at a pocket-carry method utilizing a Smith & Wesson J-frame revolver, a DeSantis holster and adding in a Cold Steel knife. Let’s start off with the revolver. Firearm: Smith & Wesson Model 432 UC TI (MSRP: $825) This looks like a pretty standard Smith & Wesson J-frame, right? Well, it is, but it also isn’t—because this is a six-shot revolver in .32 H&R Magnum. This particular firearm is a Lipsey’s exclusive variant. Up top, you can see its upgraded sights, it’s not just the rear…

(Continued from Part 2.) Water for the Flock For the first several years of raising fowl, I had a 20-gallon rubber water tote in the chicken coop. Every couple of days, I would have to dump all the water out and refill it because the chickens would sit on the edges of the tote and defecate into the water. In the heat of summer, the water would turn green within a day or two, spoiling all the fresh water. I was wasting more water and time than necessary. I began designing a gravity fed water system with a livestock auto-feeder…
