Hurricane season is underway, and whether you’re a bona fide prepper or just somebody who knows that clean drinking water is essential to survival regardless of circumstances, you’ll be excited to hear about the new handheld, electric, portable PRO X from Survivor Filter…the first in the world of its kind. It runs on your choice…
For every hunting story you’ve read, there was at least one other one the writer couldn’t tell you… I’ve been an outdoor writer for a while, but before that I was a reader: I used to marvel at the glossy hunting magazines, the writers’ tales of derring-do in the face of rotten weather and tricky…
I’m not ashamed to admit I’d pebble my pants if any of these things happened to me… A few months ago, we ran an article about the freakiest stuff that hunters see in the wilderness, and I’m not ashamed to admit that many of the things I read while researching that one returned to remind…
If you like to grill outside, and you couldn’t sleep at all last night, I know why… The Gravity Grill from CanCooker has already got me hangry–e.g., both hungry and angry–and I’ll tell you why. I’ve spent all of my life grilling out, from the time I was barely tall enough to see the coals…
Mention air rifles to some members of elder generations, and they’ll wax nostalgic about shooting their buddy in the butt with their first BB gun. But now, we’ve got a new generation of shooters…and a second-generation Benjamin Fortitude for them to check out. The Fortitude, and air guns like it, isn’t exactly kid stuff: With…
I promise I won’t shine it in my buddies’ eyes for a laugh. (Again.) The folks at Viridian Weapon Technologies recently introduced a new line of long-range illuminators that have put my poor suffering wallet on notice that I’m about to abuse it–as well as the patience of my friends–again. You’ll notice that I haven’t…
Tactical, Schmactical. Sometimes all you want is a fun little rimfire… Most gun manufacturers save their big product launches for the large trade shows, such as the Shooting, Hunting, and Outdoor Trade Show (SHOT), but this year CZ has chosen to break with that tradition in a big way with a new line of 457…
Everybody loves quick shot-to-shot follow-up, but not everyone loves (or can have) semi-autos. The curtain came up on a number of very interesting things at the NRA Annual Meetings in Indianapolis this past weekend, but a new trend in long guns made a surprising debut: Henry Repeating Arms and Marlin both introduced new, updated versions…
“What’s the freakiest thing you ever saw in the woods? Tell us in the comments!” About a month ago, we ran an article that collected some of the scariest maybe-true stories of things hunters, hikers, and backpackers had seen in the woods. I innocently asked what was the creepiest thing you, our GGD readers, had…
From the creepy-but-explainable to the just plain bizarre… Every so often, the mostly-anonymous social-media site Reddit asks itself a question: Hunters of Reddit, what did you see out there that made you never want to go back into the woods? Some of the replies are clearly jokes; some of the replies aren’t especially freaky or…
Unlike those dumb ads about the [your area] mom and her ONE WEIRD TRICK that dentists hate, these actually work… If you’re like me, you devour hunting blogs and magazines like bacon-wrapped shrimp on an all-you-can-eat-buffet…and if you’re like me, you don’t kill anywhere near as many deer as you’d like each hunting season. It’s…
Whitetail deer: gentle, shy, and not at all dangerous. Or are they…? “Nature, red in tooth and claw.” The saying’s meant to remind us that wild animals can be dangerous to human beings, but it’s easy to forget that when the animal in question doesn’t have claws, canines, or carnassials.
