There simply is no better time of year to test out a product called the Tick Twister than spring. And an even better place to test it couldn’t be found than Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.
It’s been a long time since I found a pocket knife that I carry all the time. Back when I was in high school and college, I carried around one of Schrade’s Old Timer knives. It was my favorite thing, having been given to me as a gift and used to field dress my very first deer and a whole slew of game since. My first year of college, however, that knife was stolen out of my truck while I was working one night. I haven’t had a permanent pocket knife since.
In this day and age, it’s not often that you’re able to come across a product that does exactly what it says. Slicing? Dicing? Cutting french fries in nine different shapes?
By now, most people have heard the term “geocaching,” which is a hobby that many outdoor enthusiasts have taken up.
According to geocaching.com, “Geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunting game played throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices. The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, outdoors and then share your experiences online. Geocaching is enjoyed by people from all age groups, with a strong sense of community and support for the environment.”

It’s not often you come across a useful item in the world of hunting that is also amazingly beautiful to look at. Normally when you drop a few dollars and buy something that looks too handsome to handle, you don’t. Instead, it ends up being on display on your shelf somewhere gathering dust and only being pulled down to show the neighbors, family or friends.
There are exceptions to that rule, of course, and I recently came across one: Enter the Primos knife known simply as “The Frontier.”

When it comes to hitting the outdoors, there are just some items that can’t be left behind, even if you’re just planning on being out for a short trip.
I’ve long had several must-have items in my packs when I’m out hunting, fishing or just hiking. The most important has always been a first-aid kit. The second most important is something to start a fire with.
Matches, in my experience, have proven to be fairly ineffective at this task. If they get wet, they’re done for. If you can’t get your kindling to light, it burns to your fingers and you end up dropping it or blowing it out. Lighters are inconsistent and can be too easily damaged. That’s why I’ve always carried a flint striker with me.

There are few designs on rifles that have impressed me as much as a tube fed .22. It looks good, it makes sense and it allows for plenty of room in your magazine.
