Yes, used coffee grounds can be great for the garden. Sprinkling them lightly around fruit and oak trees can help improve soil structure and add organic matter. Just be careful not to pile them too thick—they can compact and block water. Mixing the grounds with warm water to make a liquid...

Hi all, I’m looking for a solid firearm training simulator to keep my shooting skills sharp during the off season. I mainly hunt deer and want something that can help with accuracy, reaction time, and possibly even scenario based training. I’d prefer something that doesn’t require a ton of...

For summer, go with lightweight, moisture-wicking synthetics or merino blends. Skip cotton. Look at First Lite Wick shirts and Prana or Kuhl pants. They're breathable and dry fast—perfect for heat.

For summer work and habitat gear I recommend lightweight moisture wicking synthetic or merino blend shirts. First Lite’s Wick line, Patagonia Capilene, and some Columbia or Under Armour options work well. For pants, try Prana Zion or Sitka Ascent — they’re breathable and dry fast. Avoid 100...

Hello. Me and my family just got a can-am commander max xtp. Just looking to see what anyone else has installed as accessories for hunting, trail riding and camping. Want to see what others have used that works well before we drop a bunch of money on stuff that looks cool but is not very useful.
