No matter what we do anymore it seems that we have a bunch of stuff to take with us. Even a simple day hike leaves us with snacks, a camera, iPod, sunglasses, insect repellent, sunscreen, a hat and who knows what else. In addition to all of our stuff, we have to carry our ubiquitous water bottle. I recently cleaned out the back seat of my car and there were dozens of empty plastic water bottles stuffed under the seats and on the floor. Continue Reading

Having served in the Marines, I can tell you all of the weaknesses of the military Meal Ready to Eat (MRE) or as we called them, three lies in one.

First of all, they are heavy. Because they are prepared food that has been hermetically sealed in pouches, you end up carrying all of that water weight with you. At 8 pounds per gallon, this is a heavy proposition. Next, they are bulky.

How many times have you left camp in the middle of the night to get a head start on other hunters and hike miles into what you thought was the back country? You are sitting in the perfect spot and waiting for legal shooting light to come. You are sure that this is your lucky morning when the silence is broken by a distant ATV. The noise grows louder and louder and you see animals start moving into the opposite direction of the noise. What could have been a great morning is now a bad memory.

Having a hand held GMRS style radio when you head to the field is a common practice for many people these days. We personally use them frequently during the big game hunts when the state law allows. They are great items to have if you change your meeting location or in the event that you get an animal down and need to get help headed your direction. Regardless of your need, these items are here to stay and we wanted to put the new models to the test.
