Forgotten by Some, Trusted by Many Walk into a gun store in 2025 and you’ll be greeted by the usual suspects: polymer-framed pistols stacked like tactical trading cards, AR platforms with more rails than a freight terminal, and optics that cost more than your last vacation. But tucked away in…
This article was originally published by Joshua Mawhorter at the Mises Institute.

THE FIRST THING Ray Johnson brought out when we started on our crow hunt was a worn and battered cowbell. I stared at the noisy contraption, for the only Ohio crow hunting I’d done in Ray’s company was of the stop-and-go variety: stop at a likely-looking bit of timber, call in and kill as many of the answering crows as possible, and then drift on down the road…

My friend Vic was taking me duck hunting in a jeep that jounced and bumped through weird desert country south of Sasabe in Sonora, Mexico. It was hard for me to imagine why a duck or any other aquatic fowl would settle in this arid region. Surrounding us were rocks carved into scowling ogres and frightening beasts by ages of wind erosion. Giant saguaro cactus raised their arms…
Taurus 66 Combat Buy Now Some shooters dismiss revolvers as relics of the past, but Taurus isn’t ready to let the wheelgun fade quietly into history. Their new Taurus 66 Combat proves that revolvers can still hold their own in the era of polymer pistols and micro-compacts. Built on a Proven Platform The 66 Combat starts with Taurus’s well-known Model 66 medium-frame revolver. Chambered in .357 Magnum, it gives shooters the flexibility to run everything from full-house magnums to soft-shooting .38 Specials. Where it really stands out, though, is its seven-shot cylinder.

We recently took a 30-day family vacation to Europe that included two week-long cruises. We needed to pack light(er). We moved around and stayed in multiple cities when we weren’t on the cruise ships. Few hotels had expedited laundry services and the cruise ships charged by the piece. We planned to minimize our costs by washing some of our clothes ourselves, especially on the cruise ships when we had several days to allow our clothes to hang dry. On another note, most European dryers don’t use heat; they just tumble with air for a long time. Since we planned…

This story, “Little Longbill’s Back,” appeared in the September 1954 issue of Outdoor Life. “It’s been 20 years since I fired a shot at one of them,” I said to Felix as he, Joe, and I crawled through the fence and headed across the Texas rice field. We were in pursuit of that tiny, long-billed, elusive feathered delicacy known as the jacksnipe, or Wilson’s snipe. If you doubt that he’s a delicacy, consider his scientific name, Capella delicata. The “delicata” means…

For some, it consists of items you grab before you head out the door to work or running errands. For others, it’s more along the lines of if you’re awake, you have these things with you. I consider EDC to have two layers: on–body carry and off–body carry. Some people have a much stricter definition and specify that if it isn’t on your body, it isn’t EDC. To each their own, I suppose. Here’s how I break…
