Water is essential to all life. The human body can go three weeks without food but only three days without water before completely shutting down. Yet most of us find it much easier to store a year’s worth of food than a month’s worth of water. I live in the suburbs and while I have my beans, bullets and band aids pretty squared away, water has always been an area of concern for me. There is no way to store enough water for a long term outage, and I haven’t found many good options. Recently I have spent more time…

On May 29, 1648, King Charles I of England attempted to escape captivity at Carisbrooke Castle, Isle of Wight, for the second time, by hacksawing through a barred window but he was caught in the act. — On this day in 1780, the treatment of Patriot prisoners by British Colonel Banastre Tarleton and his Loyalist troops led to the coining of a phrase that defined British brutality for the rest of the War for Independence: “Tarleton’s Quarter.” Tarleton and his Torries proceeded to shoot any an all Patriots that had surrendered after the fall of Charleston. The Patriots lost 113…

Hunters and anglers like to strut around in well-worn gear like they’ve earned a merit badge. Scuffed-up rifle stocks, blood-stained jackets, and threadbare packs usually tell a good story in the rips and stains. Well-earned wear is one thing. Flat-out neglect is another. Worn gear may tell a story, but mildew and battery corrosion just tell on you.Most gear failures don’t start in the woods or on the water. They start out small and quiet in truck beds, garages, sheds, and storage bins during the off-season. The good news is that responsible maintenance today can keep a small problem from…

Perusing the accounts of armed citizens acting as their own first responders is endlessly interesting. Each case is different. As we read them, we find ourselves wondering what we would have done, and then asking if the citizen made the best decisions possible in the worst-case scenario. Consider an April 2 incident in Shaler, Pa. A resident of an apartment building noticed a man who did not live in the complex dumping a pickup bed full of garbage into the complex’s private dumpster. This resident told the man to stop. The encounter escalated from an argument to a fight. The…

The ongoing fight over Washington wildlife management has moved from combative commission meetings into federal court.On April 2, Washington Fish and Wildlife Commissioner Lorna Smith, along with Washington Wildlife First (WW1) and its Executive Director, Claire Loebs Davis, filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) Director Kelly Susewind and Deputy Director Amy Windrope. The sharply-worded, 82-page complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington, alleges bullying, retaliation, viewpoint discrimination, and a broader effort by Susewind and Windrope to discredit critics of their management decisions.“Defendant Susewind has twisted facts,…

Way back in the day, the three Rs of learning were colloquially known as “Readin’, Rightin’ and Rithmatic.” Fast-forward to modern performance shooting and the three Rs become Rise, Return and Realignment, the core mechanics of recoil control. The operative word here is control. How well you control each phase determines how well you control recoil. Either you control the firing recovery process, or it will control you. All three components—Rise, Return and Realignment—work as a single connected sequence resulting in preparation for the next shot as an integral part of the current shot. Each phase is a separate but…
