Even if you love to hike and bike alone, you’ll always have a Backup in your boot. If you’re like many outdoorsmen, you carry a handgun with you when you’re out in the backwoods for self-defense against predators–both four- and two-legged. Thing is, every single ounce of weight you have to carry in those backwoods…
Every so often, a new product comes out that I shouldn’t want…but do. The key to both my heart and my wallet is the word “Jeep”: You could brand that logo into the top of a pancake and I’d be there with my wallet out. So when I learned through the outdoor writer’s grapevine that…
My bow-season prayers to St. The Nuge have been answered! Just a few weeks ago we launched a tongue-in-cheek “prayer to St. Nugent” for bow-season success. Just a few days before that, we yearned for the success of a pro-hunting movie in production called The Harvest. It seems that someone was listening, because the Motor…
Factory sights not cutting the mustard? The first thing most serious shooters do the moment they get their new pistol home is to take a good, hard look at the factory sights and get to work fine-tuning them. The problem, of course, is that replacing or upgrading pistol sights is a pain–and that’s where the…
These are the prayers I’ll be directing to St. Nugent for the next 10 weeks or so… Archery season begins soon, and you know what that means: Lots of clueless people tromping around in my favorite hunting spot while I sit in my treestand and seethe. While I get ready for bow-season opening day, here’s…
It’s that time of year: Short, sultry nights full of buzzing cicadas, chirping crickets and the barely audible calls of the bats that see all of the above as an all-you-can-eat buffet. Although you probably think of bats as being more active later in the year–say, just in time for Halloween–late summer and early autumn…
Hallelujah, it has happened! The U.S. House of Representatives’ Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians and Congress-Critters of all stripes got together and passed H.R. 1957, the ‘Great American Outdoors Act’. Although any conservation measure should include bipartisan support, they don’t always–and that’s why we here at Popular Outdoorsman are so excited to hear that this historic legislation…
Quick, take a moment and ask yourself this question: “Have I ever seen a pro-hunting movie?” This writer personally cannot recall any that have been produced prior to 1965–in fact, Hollywood seems to use hunting as a coded signal for “crazy antagonist.” That’s why, if you’re a dedicated hunter who believes your pastime has gotten…
(Or piano, or football, or cheerleading) Any parent can tell you that the most magical time of year is not Christmas, but the advent of “back to school.” Since you’re probably figuring out which extracurricular activities your kid will complain about attending for the next three months, here’s a thought: Instead of soccer, or piano,…
Garmin’s first solar charging adventure watch, the f?nix 6X – Pro Solar, delighted outdoorspeople as much as it drove spellcheckers crazy, and the next generation of Garmin adventure watches means outdoor adventurers can “Do What They Love Longer” through significantly increased battery life and new purpose-built functionality including surf, mountain biking, and climbing. The new…
With public pools and water parks still closed nationwide, one of the best ways to get a refreshing swim in is to go boating! It’s terrific fun, but there are three basic safety mistakes that boaters can make that could sink your summer fun…maybe for good. With the recent release of the U.S. Coast Guard’s…
What happens when trade unions and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) come together for conservation? From past joint operations, it seems what we get is lots of hard work from people who know the meaning of hard work, and lots of science-driven biome best practices from the people who know the meaning of…
