It’s time to think spring and flinging a fly-line. Our Bodie tells you why she’ll be wearing these waders in the water.

Do you like to shoot Five Stand, Sporting Clays or Trap, but dread the soreness and bruising you experience later that day, the next day or even the day after that? Do you ever shy away from shooting your shotgun to avoid the abusive recoil? Well, ladies, keep reading because I found a great product. […]

As an avid angler, I respect the dangers of the sport and am a strong advocate for use of a Personal Floatation Device (PFD) when on or near the water’s edge. Conditions on the water can change at a moment’s notice, and having the right PFD is essential for survival. That being said, as a woman with […]

Comfortable and durable are the two words that immediately come to mind about the new contoured and hand-crafted neck slings from Vero Vellini. Earlier this year I was generously provided a bounce-absorbing Air-Cushion neoprene Vero Vellini Binocular/Camera Slings to use and review.

Read my suggestions on layering Prois apparel for comfort in extreme fishing conditions.

I recently purchased some cargo style pants to wear during outdoor training for work. These pants are not a product I just began to wear. As a matter of fact, the first time I donned them was in 1992 when I joined the US Army. I have never met a soldier who did not like BDUs. I cannot say the same about the Army dress uniforms (yuck). With evolution of the Internet and some research, I was able to determine that Propper International, Inc. manufactures BDUs for the military. Just a warning though, there are other alluring products on Propper’s website. Enter at your own risk.
