Since 2014-15, straight-wall cartridges have seen significant use in several states such as Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana. In the past, hunters in these states were only allowed to use shotguns and muzzleloaders during deer season. However, the use of straight-wall cartridge rifles has opened up new opportunities for hunters to take longer-range shots without the […]
Over the years I’ve read and seen countless articles and videos on the bugout bag. For some reason, the vast majority imply that should a disaster strike, you should run out to the woods. Make a fire with a ferro rod, snare game, and catch fish to continue life. Now as much as I enjoy […]

However, many security options are not feasible when users are on the move or when they need ready access to their firearms. GOSAFE has released a solution for mobile security in the form of its upcoming Mobile Mag. “Traditional firearm […]
It isn’t too tough to find a good rifle that falls under the “budget” category. In fact, I recently put up a guide on that subject. Sometimes though, you need to dream bigger. Drop the budget restriction, and aim for quality and precision! Let’s take a look at one High-Performance Hunting build and the suppressor that […]
When it comes down to purchasing a fixed-blade knife for outdoor use, whether it’s for camping, backpacking, or to practice bushcraft and survival skills, you could potentially drop a lot of cash on something you don’t really need. I’m not saying you shouldn’t spend the extra money on a quality knife, but if you’re just starting out, you […]
Here at the Gear Bunker, we take our coffee seriously… Growing up I still remember the smell of coffee early in the mornings when my mom was getting ready. I always thought it smelled good, but always thought the taste was horrible. Fast forward several years to when I joined the Marine Corps. In the […]
Almost 20 years since Brad McCarthy originally devised the idea for Maxtrax, a new version has finally arrived. Improving on the already proven MkII version, the new Maxtrax Xtreme is now the penultimate pair of traction boards on the market. I’ve been using the MkII version of the Maxtrax for about 3 years now. Mud, […]
I recently received the Mission Workshop Fraction Rucksack for review. When I opened the box I immediately noticed that this is not the usual style of backpack I’d choose.
