I have found an easy and economical way to cut carbon arrow shafts using a hacksaw blade. To get the perfect cut, drag the blade backwards, but don't move it forward. That will give you a clean cut without destroying the arrow. I cut all my arrows that way and get a perfectly [...]
As dawn broke slowly over the Maui Channel, Doug Borland and I faced a dilemma. Cooped up by torrential rain for the previous two days, we really needed to get into the hills and go hunting. The weather was beautiful now, but the downpour had left the ranch road we planned to travel [...]

Here are some points my experience has taught me. A friend recently returned early to our kitchen after "freezing out" in a stand near [...]
Understanding Hypothermia Back when I was young, when someone got lost in the woods and was found dead three weeks later the cause of death was usually listed as “exposure.” I didn’t know what that meant, and neither did anyone else.
