00:00:01 Speaker 1: Despite its role as the central region of the frontier story in the West, the Great Planes in the twenty first century is requiring novel conservation approaches to recapture its former magic. I’m Dan Flores, and this is the American West, loving the planes, hating the planes, rewilding the planes. 00:00:44 Speaker 2: I know almost nothing useful about W. H. 00:00:48 Speaker 1: Auden, the twentieth century British writer critic, except that he once wrote these lines, which I committed to memory. I cannot see a plane without a shutter. Oh God, please, please don’t ever…
The 4 Patriots 72-Hour Survival Food Kit is misnamed. In terms of caloric requirements and nutritional value, it does not quite qualify as a 48-hour food kit. In terms of packaging, it would be best suited as a 24-hour food kit. The food is packaged conveniently for things like camping trips. But it is important to realize that the number of servings listed on each package is hopelessly optimistic. Double each serving size, and it will be just about right. Also make sure to take other foods to supplement the packaged courses. At the time of this writing, the kit…

(Continued from Part 1. This concludes the article.) Considerations for Projectile Selection There are many different bullets and powders to choose from. Given the very long throats of their chambers, we are mostly limited to heavier and flat based bullets. Choosing the best projectiles for the antique Mausers will help us get the best all around results, quickly. For the purposes of hunting, I would like it to shoot no larger groups than 2 MOA with iron sights and that would limit my shoots to 250 yards if I had 20-20 or better vision and had the rifle on…
On June 9, 1628: The first deportation from what is now the United States: Thomas Morton was deported from Massachusetts. For the local Puritans, Morton’s behavior was just too much. He was a drunken womanizer who constructed a May Pole, organized orgies, and sold guns to Indians. — And on June 9, 1772: The first naval attack of Revolutionary War took place in Providence, Rhode Island. — A reminder: SurvivalBlog is now a weekly web blog, delivered Fresh Every Tuesday. — Today’s feature article is the conclusion of a guest piece by long-time SurvivalBlog reader “Tunnel Rabbit”, who makes his…
Armed Citizen® Today In Dandridge, Tenn., around 10 p.m. on June 4, a man watched as a Ford F150 pickup stopped on the street outside his home and backed up. A man then reportedly exited the vehicle carrying a sword and threatening to kill the homeowner. The homeowner grabbed a firearm he kept in his vehicle and shot the assailant dead. Police said the suspect still had the sword in hand when they arrived and took possession of the body for an autopsy. (standardbanner.com; Jefferson City, Tenn.; 6/4/26) From the Armed Citizen® Archives – January 1987 A Milwaukee bartender was…
Most people build an everyday-carry loadout the same way they build a gym routine. They copy something they saw work for someone else, and then they stop questioning it. The gun goes in. The holster goes on. Maybe a spare magazine follows. After that, it becomes habit. Habit is comfortable. It is also lazy. The problem is not that most loadouts are bad. The problem is that most loadouts are never re-examined against reality. Reality has changed. Self-defense shootings still look like they always have—fast, close, chaotic and usually over in seconds. But, the edge cases are more visible now.…
Along the upper Texas coast, about 50 miles southeast of Houston, sits Galveston Island, a barrier island better known for its beaches, marshes, and migratory birds than large predators. Yet for years, residents reported sightings of unusual wild canids roaming the island.It wasn’t until 2008 that local resident and former fisheries biologist Ron Wooten took a closer interest in the island’s canids. After one of the animals killed his pet dog, Wooten began documenting sightings and asking neighbors to report encounters. While most people assumed the animals were simply coyotes, Wooten couldn’t shake the feeling that something was different about…
Handgun muzzle rise is a matter of simple physics. Factors like barrel length, cartridge size and handgun weight all contribute to how high a pistol’s muzzle kicks up when you fire it. Bore axis (how low the barrel sits in the frame) is also a big contributing factor to muzzle rise, and over the years, many designers have attempted to use a low-bore axis to result in a flat-shooting pistol. One of these attempts, the Rideout Arsenal Dragon, is now more than a concept. It’s on the market. The Rideout Arsenal Dragon is an innovative new design that incorporates an…
