DeWALT Battery Powered Chainsaw – Review
BY Clay Martin Updated: February 28, 2022Yes. Chainsaw. Today we are going to take a look at what I feel is an underrated bit of survival kit, and perhaps the greatest labor saving device in the inventory. Now obviously, this falls way down the line from food, water, medical, and safety. (Safety means guns, stuff to feed them, and preferably friends with them.)

BFG Micro Trauma Kit – Review
BY Clay Martin Updated: January 2, 2022Know this; if you carry a gun for a living, you are going to end up patching up either yourself or a friend. That is how the game is played. And someone living or dying might very well come down to having some materials on hand to stop them from bleeding out.
Mountain Hunting Emergency Preparedness
BY Jordan Voigt Updated: September 6, 2021Hunters by nature have a bit of an independent streak; your average person doesn’t get their kicks from arising in the dark and tromping around Mother Nature with ten to twenty pounds of gear on their back.

Medical Training – The Life You Save May be Your Own
BY Jeff Cramblit Updated: May 23, 2018It doesn’t matter if you’re out hunting, on the range practicing, or driving down the highway, when chaos strikes, it strikes fast. One missed step along that ridge, a ricocheting bullet off a steel target, a distracted driver, a slip of a blade, and you can find yourself in a life and death situation.
