Sign up for the Quick Strike Newsletter The hottest fishing news, tips, and tactics In July of 2017, I was guiding a group of kayak bass anglers on Lake Wanahoo, a flood control reservoir in southeast Nebraska that was built in 2012. The lake is stocked with bass, panfish, blue catfish, walleye, and northern pike, which flourished in the years after the lake opened. At the time, I had caught more than 25 northerns that exceeded 40 inches from Wanahoo, rivaling some of the best I had hooked on Canadian and Minnesota Boundary Water lakes famous for holding giant pike.…

The news was almost predictable. For yet another year, auditors have found that America’s new weapons aren’t being delivered on time. “DOD plans to invest over $2.4 trillion to develop and acquire its costliest weapon programs,” according to the Government Accountability Office’s 2026 annual report on major defense acquisition programs, or MDAP. “Schedule delays persisted across MDAPs, signaling overly optimistic time frames,” according to the GAO report, which examined 104 of the Pentagon’s most expensive weapons programs. “The overall average time frame to deliver a capability increased this year to over 12 years. Further, several MDAPs have not set new…

According to NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) Administrator Jared Isaacman, the United States is “very much in a space race” with China. Both countries are hoping to land humans on the moon soon and establish permanent military bases there. During an interview with ‘Face the Nation’ on CBS on Sunday, Isaacman stressed that the Chinese “will land their taikonauts on the Moon – there’s no question.” Beijing’s lunar program is “moving at incredible speeds,” he added.

The Department of Defense partnered with the Office of Personnel Management to recruit hundreds of software engineers for voluntary assignments following a nearly 11% decline of its workforce. In a joint statement, the Defense Department said the War Force campaign aims to attract “exceptional software engineers to support the nation’s most critical national security missions.” Emil Michael, the Defense Department’s chief technology officer, described the effort as “a call to action for patriotic forward-deployed engineers.” He explained that the new hires will support the Defense Department’s AI Acceleration Strategy and “enterprise” projects “to ensure American military technological dominance for generations…

Sign up for This Happened to Me News on backcountry adventure and wilderness survival. This story, “The Argentine Way,” appeared in the November 1953 issue of Outdoor Life. The author is known for his book, A Northwoods Rendezvous. Mat Strother and I crawled on our bellies through the thin, parched grass of the Argentine pampas with the sun fairly frying our backs through our heavy shooting jackets. Ahead loomed a limitless expanse of flat grazing land, broken only by a near-by open pothole, glittering in the midday sun. But if our eyes stung with sweat, our mouths also watered in…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadFree speech has always come with a price. Unfortunately, now that price has started looking a lot more like a body count. It started off in the 1990s as political correctness. Then, during the COVID years, it evolved into cancel culture, marked by lost jobs, public shaming, deplatforming, and the destruction of businesses, among other consequences. But now? We’re entering the next and far more dangerous phase of silencing people with different opinions. People aren’t just being canceled anymore. They’re being physically attacked—and in some cases, killed—for what they believe, say, or represent. That…

But they’re standing at your front door. They’re tired, scared, hungry, maybe sick. And they need help. You have stew cooking. Their kids haven’t eaten in days. You know that sharing your food is taking away from your family. Every meal you share with other is one meal closer to you and your loved ones starving. That moment is not the moment to start thinking about how your group handles new members. Unless…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadPreparedness isn’t about throwing a bunch of gear into one bag and hoping it works. And it’s not about having a bunch of bags and not knowing which to use. It’s about building systems—layered, intentional, and based on how people actually move through the world. Most preppers focus on bag names—Bug Out Bag, INCH Bag, Go Bag—and that’s where confusion starts. The definitions shift. People get stuck wondering: Do I need different bags? What goes in each? Where do I start? What if instead of chasing names, you focused on time?This episode breaks down…
