Last week I had the pleasure of visiting the Buck Knives, Inc. manufacturing facility and offices in Post Falls, ID. Fourth generation knife maker, CJ Buck gave me some insight into Buck’s little known custom knife shop. They build incredible knives everyone from individual collectors to major conservation organizations. Do you own a custom Buck knife?

Averaging almost 50,000 miles per year traveling all over North America to film extreme sports and outdoor adventure I found my stock fuel tank left a lot to be desired. Over five years ago I ran into the folks at Titan Fuel Tanks and they had a solution — a tank which replaced my OEM fuel tank and doubled my fuel capacity! Now I can travel into Canada and back, sometimes not needing to buy expensive, high tax fuel. Even more important I have the range to find the best fuel prices available by region, not by city.

Most folks don’t realize you can shoot long range with a red dot sight. Go back in time to frontier America and the buffalo hunters regularly made kill shots, with open sights, at vast distances. For my experiment, I headed out to the Nemo Arms range to try my luck with their new Omen 300 win mag AR style rifle topped with an Aimpoint Hunter sight. Boy was I in for a treat. I’ll add, shooting long range necessitates a full understanding of the ammunition, bullet and shooting characteristic of your rifle. This video does not promote long range shooting without serious testing of your ammunition and rifle. It is not meant to promote shooting big game at long range, either. Enjoy.

Eye of the Hunter™ host Tom Opre and co-host Olivia Nalos Opre hunt Spain for Gredos ibex and Pyrenees roe deer with Bruno Rosich of Trophy Hunting Spain. This film tells the tale of their adventure. Besides hunting they experience the San Isidoro Festival of bull fighting in Madrid, fly-fishing six pound native brown trout on a dry fly in the Pyrenees Mountains and enjoy the sights of mid-evil castles, monasteries, and other aspects of Spanish history.

I had the opportunity to hang with the guys from Nemo Arms and shoot one of the most exciting new rifles available — the Omen. All I can say is unbelievable. Watch us shoot out to 1000 yards with this AR rifle built for the 300 win mag cartridge. I even join the 1000 Yard Club!

During the cold months of winter, if you are hiking, hunting, ice fishing or snowshoeing your outdoor experience won’t be fun if you don’t stay warm. We’ve been using products from Hot Mocs to help us enjoy cold weather activities

Heading out for a hunt of a lifetime? Don’t forget the Boy Scout motto, “Be Prepared.” Packing a good first aid kit and purchasing a Global Rescue membership is a good idea.
