  • Cabela’s Covenant 4 Scope Review

    Cabela’s Covenant 4 Scope Review

    The Cabela’s Covenant 4 (sometimes called a Covenant Tactical) is an inexpensive white labelled scope sold by Cabela’s. I have both a 4-16×44 FFP and a 4-16×44 SFP. I’ve also reviewed the Covenant 7 and Cabela’s Intensity LR scopes. The second focal plane model is just a bit more compact in length. Covenant 4 Scope…

    Gerber Air Ranger Review

    I don’t typically review knives because I’m not going to go through the effort of scientific sharpness and durability testing (check out Project Farm on YouTube for that kind of stuff) but I picked up this Gerber Air Ranger and have been using it daily for about a month. How about a review in bullet…

It was developed in the early 1890’s. 6.5 Creedmoor is one of the newest 6.5 cartridges being developed in 2007. So how do they compare?

  • Cabela’s Covenant AR 1-8 Scope Review

    Cabela’s Covenant AR 1-8 Scope Review

    The Cabela’s Covenant AR 1-8×24 scope is an inexpensive LPVO. It comes with a cantilever mount that should let you mount it a bit further forward on a receiver, like you need to do on most AR’s or other flat top sporting rifles. The Good: The Bad: What can you use it for? As a…

  • Renogy 100w Monocrystalline Solar Kit Review & Install on a Popup Camper

    Renogy 100w Monocrystalline Solar Kit Review & Install on a Popup Camper

    On a recent long weekend, I used 40 out of the 60Ah in my popup camper battery in a 3 day timespan. I’d like a bit more staying power, so I picked up a Renogy 100 watt, 12v solar panel kit (though mine came with brackets). It should allow me to stay on longer trips…

Wireless Remote I’ve used some flashlights that had wired remote activation paddles or switches, but never ones that were wireless. The wireless…

  • Nitecore NC10000 Review

    Nitecore NC10000 Review

    The Nitecore NC10000 is a 10000 mAh USB battery bank that uses 2 5000mAh 21700 batteries instead of pouch cells like their NB10000. Nitecore bills this as a highland appropriate USB power bank, likely because the 21700 battery cells and the enclosure do a better job of keeping the bank from swelling at higher altitudes.…
