...Tuff Kids: What is the correct age to introduce your children to the outdoors?
What is the right age to introduce children to the outdoors or take them on a fishing or hunting trip? Alaska-born Becky Schwanke, who launched Tuff Kids Outdoors last March, started her journey of being an outdoors lover early, being taken along on hunts with her parents. She took her son on his first moose hunt when he was just 8-months old. “If we can introduce the natural world to our children when they are small, they will perpetually be fascinated by all the amazing interactions and experiences that being outdoors has to offer,” said Becky, “Sunshine, rain, wind, snow, it’s all part of recreating outside and there should be no fear in taking your kids on outings from day one.”

...6 reasons to love the Vertx A-Range Bag
During the 2014 Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade Show (SHOT) I spent some time in the Vertx booth. I became mesmerized as representatives from Vertx demonstrated the new line of bags and packs. These bags have so many bells and whistles; I can’t imagine the design time that must have gone into creating them. It seems like they thought of everything. Luckily for me, not too long after SHOT, a large, lightweight box arrived at my house with Vertx printed on it. My family knew I was waiting on an order, so they knew better than to touch it. Like Christmas morning as a child, I excitedly tore open the box and found my Vertx A-Range Bag ($219.95) inside. Once I looked through all the compartments and thought of all my options, I brought out my old, jumbled and unorganized range bag. After dumping the contents on my bedroom floor, I sorted out all the extra pens, gum and other miscellaneous doodads I don’t need, and began filling my new Vertx A-Range Bag.

Some of my friends said, “She’s suffering from a midlife crisis.”While others said, “No, it’s just something off-the wall-that Michelle would do.”I admit, it was a long weekend and I had some free time to spend surfing the Internet.
