Comes standard in CPM MagnaCut steel (Rc 62-64 hardness) and includes a Kydex sheath and a ferro rod. The knife specs are as follows: It weighs 4.9 ounces, has a 3.5” blade, and a 7.6” overall length. Made in the U.S.A. and guaranteed for life.

Leupold VX-5HD Gen 2 Riflescope
It only takes one—one that does it all. When you’re far from camp and seconds from your shot, you need a scope that’ll never let you down. The VX-5HD Gen 2 features Leupold’s professional-grade optical system and delivers the absolute precision that serious hunters demand. With the CDS-SZL2 SpeedSet dial for quick, tool-free zeroing, an integrated throw lever, competition-grade adjustments and ultra-rugged build, the VX-5HD Gen 2 is the ideal, everything-you-need optic. Dollar for dollar, no other scope comes close. Not in precision, not in performance, not in price. Available in second-focal-plane models with various reticles in magnification ranges from 1-5×24 up to 4-20×52.
Dead Air Silencers NOMAD Ti XC
The next chapter of the venerable Nomad Ti is here: the Nomad Ti XC. XC designates Cross-Country, a term they gave the silencer lineup that lets you go further thanks to its minimal weight, while seamlessly integrating into all your hunts and adventures. You already know the jaw-dropping performance of the Nomad, but with the application of additive manufacturing technologies they are advancing the patented Nomad baffle technology to new levels.
Their Nomad XC series now features an enhanced two-stage coaxial baffle system with pressure-harnessing structures that regulate both low-pressure and high-pressure rounds. They are squeezing even more strength per ounce out of the Nomad Ti XC while providing even better sound performance and precision, no matter what you are shooting. Hunters and precision shooters already have enough on their minds to take, or even get, the right shot. The extreme lightweight and phenomenal sound suppression make the Nomad Ti XC the ideal choice when covering distance and speed are part of the game.

The bright yellow FRN handle is ultra light and provides high traction, thanks to Spyderco’s Bi-Directional Texture pattern.
A reliable back lock and all-corrosion-resistant hardware ensure dependable function in wet, salty conditions. Fully ambidextrous with a four-position pocket clip, this knife delivers serious cutting power without added weight—perfect for the angler or outdoorsman who refuses to compromise.
Pristine Ventures PR-49
Float-fish and -hunt expert Larry Bartlett is a longtime friend and innovator in the industry. Among his accomplishments, he’s developed a variety of boats that are well suited for hauling heavy loads in shallow rivers. One of those boats is the amazing PR-49. This 9-foot raft weighs under 25 pounds and sports an 850-pound load capacity, allowing you to float heavy loads with a very shallow draft. Our team has had experience with this boat, and all are astounded with its performance.
FORLOH Men’s Combat Wool LS Crewneck
Made with merino wool and Cordura, the Combat blends rugged durability with next-to-skin comfort. The flatlock seams and thoughtful paneling are engineered for maximum range of motion. Odor-absorbing, antimicrobial technology without harsh biocides, the LS Crewneck is 100% USA-made and incorporates a locker-loop size label for easy storage.
Hilleberg Allak
Built for rugged backcountry conditions, the Allak is an excellent choice for any hunter looking for a strong, reliable, and lightweight all-season tent. Its fully freestanding construction, with two integrated vestibules, makes it easy to pitch in the trickiest of locations—even limited space-sites, rocky terrains, and very soft or hard ground. Its inner and outer tents pitch simultaneously, so your inner tent stays protected even in rough weather conditions. Both the 2- and 3-person versions are very roomy and have 2 large vestibules with plenty of space for bulky gear, and allow for flexible exit and entry options.
J5 Gear Backpack Game Sled
This game sled offers a different solution for hauling out game quarters, and we think it’s great. It comes in 3 different sizes: regular, large, and Alaskan; doesn’t weigh much, and rolls up small for travel into the field. Big game quarters, and particularly moose, weigh a lot, so having the option to drag them instead of packing them on your back is a game changer.
Chasing Alaska
Chasing Alaska is a children’s book that follows a hunting family as they brave the different seasons in Alaska. From hunting moose, caribou, and grizzly bears to setting traps in the stillness of winter, the work is hard, the memories run deep, and the rewards are real. Rich with tradition and stunning illustrations, this story captures the soul and legacy of raising kids in the great outdoors. With every hunt, every storm, and every day on the trapline, Alaska grabs hold of you and never lets go.
