After longterm testing I believe the best men's underwear has been found!

Long's Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park close to Estes Park, Colorado is considered one of the deadliest, not because it is much harder technically, but there is exposure and one of the more popular mountains. Long's gets a higher level of traffic, many without much climbing experience...

We have all seen pictures and even visited these large airplane graveyards where we're overwhelmed. Expansive spaces usually in dry remote areas that have planes parked time next to each other row after row. It is part mind blowing, historic, nostalgic, and that's before you even start adding up the dollars spent on these planes. Many are mothballed for possible reservice, some are kept intact for parts supplies, and others are just waiting their turn to be scrapped. So this isn't just...

In 1966 the airbase was updated and a few dozen aircraft like the MiG-23 were based there until the airbase was disbanded in 1994. A few MiG's and other aircraft were left there, assuming they weren't flyable. Photo credit 'The Traveler Around' Spookingly beautiful abandoned MiG's, abandoned hangars and runway, and the backdrop of Winter waiting on Spring to renew life...

The following conversation is a reproduction by the author of what might have been discussed. There is a 99% probability it is 99% accurate. "We need to gather all of our mates for a lovely outing in the woods to catch some Salmon. No need to worry about bears, they don't like large groups of people. We'll also be chugging beer and making a racket that will annoy all the wildlife in the mountains. I mean we're fishing for Salmon, there is NOOO one else in the woods that like Salmon too...

Here is another great activity for us Middle-Aged Men. Shooting clay targets with a shotgun! The sport is as old as shotguns themselves, but has really become popular the last several years with Sporting Clays. Instead of just shooting from a few places with a few target looks, Sporting Clay course designers get creative with 12+ stations and multiple targets at each. The idea is to simulate different live bird looks (or even rabbits) as much as possible. Almost every community even in...

What can you do if drinking beer and fishing at the same time, but you don't want to put your beer down? Jake Rutledge had that problem and solved it by creating the Chill-n-Reel. Through extensive scientific research, testing, and eventually obtaining a patent Jake ended up with the perfect beer koozie and fishing reel combination. Okie edgenuity at its best.

What a fun way to catch delicious Crappie. The new technology with Garmin Panoptix LiveScope allows you to clearly see the fish, your bait, and structure underwater. I was fishing with Cameron Burnett at Lake Fork, Texas. I caught a limit of 25 in pretty quick order. The best technique was raising the jig with minnow very slow above the nose of fish. Big Crappie! Limit of 25! Plenty of Filets!
