Review: Sage Click Reels
Simple is good. In lots of trout fishing situations, you dont need a drag system thats capable of stopping a locomotive. There, we said it! Slapping a mega-reel on a lightweight trout rod isnt going to result in an outfit thats well-balanced. And really, you dont need all that technology most of the time. If [...]

Berkutchi Falconers in Mongolia
In western Mongolia, an ancient tradition of hunting with Golden Eagles is still alive.

There were protected areas in the steppe marked with stones where only the khans were allowed to hunt. The [...]

Softshells are a great compromise between warmth, comfort and breathability. The fact is, most of the time youre on the water, a true hard shell like Gore-Tex is more waterproof, but less breathable and comfortable than it needs to be. Hoods are great because they keep rain, cold air, wind and badly-cast flies off of [...]

Petzl Zipka Plus Review
Hands down my favorite headlamp. Mine has lasted me for 12+ years (I’ve lost track) and it has been through alot with me.
