    Imagine Importing Your Own Truck to Africa

    I have been a long time fan of Clay Croft, the XOverland Team and their videos. Information I have gathered from their videos have played a major role in my ability to spend over 20+days camping and hunting upland birds on public lands in Montana. This is episode 1 of their African series. It...

    According to Hopper in the movie, “It’s a Bug’s Life,” the first rule of leadership is “It is always your fault.” The U.S. was not choosing to lead in the early 1930’s. We were following and let someone else set the tone. In my book that means it was OUR fault. However, 1936-1938 was the...

    Cracker Barrel restaurants are a good source for post EMP survival equipment. On the walls of the restaurants you can find buck saws, harnesses for horses, plows, and other equipment that was used by my grandparents.

    What did you buy or book at the SCI Nashville convention

    My son and I were scheduled to do a Dall Sheep Hunt in August of 2022. In June our outfitter called and said after several aerial surveys he had not seen any legal rams. Evidently, there had been a big dall sheep die off approximately 10 years ago. The outfitter told us the hunt would probably...
