I’ve fallen in love with Elzetta Design’s lights in the past few years.  I even hesitate to call them “flashlights” because that sounds so cheap compared to the quality that these lights boast.  “Handheld tactical illumination devices” seems more like it.  These by far, are the most robust lights in the industry.  Boasting of CNC milled aircraft grade aluminum body, potted electronics, Malkoff and Auto Voltage Sensing illumination heads, and a completely modular design truly makes these the most rugged lights on the planet.  I have one of each model, the 900 lumen Charlie model is mounted on my “hog rifle”, the 2 cell Bravo in my bag, and the smaller 315 lumen Alpha stays in my pocket 24/7, and now I’m happy to announce the newest Mini CQB integrated weapons mount is shipping soon.

As a boater, there are a few items you always keep on hand. A length of rope. Extra drain plugs. A spare life jacket. I could walk out to any of my boats right now (or for that matter, to my truck), and lay my hands on any one of these items. Here’s one more thing, which should certainly be on the list: zip-ties.

OLD TOWN SPRING, Texas, April 27 (UPI) — The owner of a Texas alligator show said a trainer was not seriously injured when he was attacked by one of the animals on camera during a festival.

Usually, helping wildlife in need is its own reward, but sometimes nature can surprise you. When two young men cut this entangled snake free in the video below, the creature showed its gratitude by vomiting up a smelly, half-digested frog. Not exactly a reward most people would enjoy, but there’s more to this story than it would seem.

Video contains very strong language. In fact, you might want to mute it.

It has been relatively quiet on the recall front, but that appears to be changing with Ford’s recall of more than 390,000 vehicles for a door latch problem. The company said Friday that the problem may prevent doors from closing properly potentially causing them to open while the vehicle is in motion.

There is a reason that one of the most important rules of firearm safety is to keep your gun pointed in a safe direction at all times. This is true whether the gun is unloaded, your finger is off the trigger, or if the safety is on. Sometimes, it’s especially true if you think your safety is activated. A viral video uploaded to YouTube last Friday quickly garnered more than 600,000 views, along with raising a fair bit of concern for shotgun owners. In it, a gun owner demonstrated a rare and extremely hazardous malfunction for the Winchester SXP shotgun. According to the video uploader, when loaded the SXP has the ability to fire simply by closing the action.

Those with arachnophobia, or a fear of spiders, may want to skip watching this video. After all, spider crabs look just like giant spiders—albeit with claws, a tougher exoskeleton, and apparently the ability to form giant pyramids in the bottom of the ocean.

One scuba diver managed to record this massive pyramid of spider crabs near Melbourne, Australia. It’s one of the creepiest things we’ve ever seen.

One Florida man learned the hard way that water moccasins do not make the best kissing partners. According to Fox 13, 18-year-old Austin Hatfield of Wimauma was hospitalized last Saturday after being bitten by a cottonmouth while attempting to kiss it.

It’s been a long and hard fight for Texans who support the open carry of handguns. Some people might be surprised to learn that openly carrying a handgun, even if you have a carry permit, is illegal in Texas despite their pro-gun reputation.

Truck interiors have made a huge transition over the past ten years, and nowhere is this seen more clearly than in the luxury trucks that are on most truck buyers wish lists.  The 2015 GMC Sierra Denali 1500 is no exception.  Less flashy than some of its competitors, it is refined and subtle with a decidedly masculine edge that complements its exterior styling flawlessly.

You say you want to go shark fishing from your boat? Me, too. But shark fishing most certainly opens up a whole new realm of dangers—even when you’re only catching little guys. Here are a few do’s and don’ts that will help you keep all of your fingers and toes attached.
