The basin lay in a mood of chill inactivity. Once in a while the old mountain goat chewing his cud on the broken face of the cliff opposite us looked around and lowered his chin whiskers into yawning space. Apparently we and the goat had the basin to ourselves. I’d flushed its every inch with my glasses a dozen or more times in the past two hours, and after…
U.S. Special Operations Command will begin fielding the MK24 Medium Range Gas Gun Assault before the end of the fiscal year, furthering SOCOM’s shift away from legacy cartridges like the 7.62mm NATO round, according to a recent report. SOCOM spokesman Navy Cmdr. Joe Vermette told Task & Purpose the MRGG-A will completely replace the MK17 SCAR. He added that SOCOM is “pursuing a rapid fielding method” to “multiple (Special Operational Force) components.” Last August, SOCOM awarded the Iowa-based LMT Defense a 10-year contract to the tune of $92 million for the MRGG-A. At SOCOM’s request, the rifle features a swappable…

Sign up for the Quick Strike Newsletter The hottest fishing news, tips, and tactics As a freshwater angler who occasionally travels for saltwater fishing excursions, I’m always looking for a fish that scratches the itch like a giant smallmouth does when I’m fighting them in strong current on light line. The exhilaration, the screaming drag, the line whistling in the breeze under the strain of a fish that just won’t quit — that’s what I’m looking for. Throughout my travels, I’ve found that very few fish really satisfy the feeling I’m chasing. I’ve had great fights from striped bass off…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadIt’s 12:30 in the afternoon on April 28th, 2025. You’re in Europe, standing in a Madrid train station. The lights go out. The departure boards go dark. Your phone says no service. Across the border in Lisbon, hospitals are switching to backup generators. ATMs freeze. Payment terminals stop working. In under five seconds, the entire Iberian Peninsula has lost power. Tens of millions of people. No power. No warning. Zero idea when it’s coming back. That wasn’t a hurricane. It wasn’t a bomb. It was a cascade—the kind of grid failure engineers and preppers…
