The Revolution knows that you work hard for your money and that testing new hunting and fishing gear in the lobby of your local Cabela's just doesn’t cut it when it comes time to drop some coin. So Jim, Trav and Mrs. Bunny, each week, put the industry's best new outdoor products to the test as they rank them in their Buy or Bust segment. They aren't in to cheap gimmicks, they don't care about what's sexy, they just want dependable gear at reasonable price and nothing else.
This week on Buy or Bust, learn how to sharpen your knives. As outdoorsmen and women, virtually 100% of us carry a knife daily. However, in reality only about 20% of people have a rudimentary understanding of how to sharpen and knife. Beyond that, it's likely that less than 5% of knife carriers are actually able to get their blades semi-sharp. Make that your resolution this year! Learn how to maintain a good, sharp edge on your knives.
Merry Christmas, y'all. With the big day closing in, it might be tough to get a gift ordered or purchased, wrapped up, and placed under the tree. However, nothing says you can't order a gift and ship it to your loved one. Although it may not arrive by Christmas day, the "better late than never" mantra certainly fits in this instance.
This week on Buy or Bust, we're back with more Christmas gift ideas, this time for the automotive enthusiast. Think beyond air fresheners, seat cover and floor mats. Check out these ideas instead:
Christmas is right around the corner and shoppers don't have much time left to get gifts under the tree. For the outdoorsmen and women out there, here are some solid options you can pick up at virtually any local retailer that will be standouts:
JAKT Gear is a company that is bringing a different kind of tech to the hunting industry, one that has the potential to be really helpful and not just a flash in the pan kind of product. JAKT Game and Fish Smart Tags are Near Field Communication (NFC) Smart Tags that can be used in a variety of different ways by outdoorsmen and women. This week on Buy or Bust, the team looks at a few of the different JAKTTag products and their different applications. Tune in as they talk about the:
While the world seems to be racing toward an all electric powered future, it has to be recognized that this kind of power, regardless of how eco-friendly it may be, has its caveats. Batteries can only run for so long before they have to be recharged, and in order to recharge them, they have to be plugged into some sort of alternative power source. For the outdoorsmen and women out there who love to lose themselves in the great outdoors, go beyond the pavement, set up camp in the wilderness, hunt and fish where there are no electrical receptacles - battery power just isn't going to cut it. What you need is a good generator, powered by none other than the highly dependable and reliable: gasoline.
Shooting sticks are a great investment for any hunter or shooter as they help eliminate human error by creating a sturdy and solid shooting platform, free from sway and movement. There are a lot of great options out there, but on this edition of Buy or Bust, we're looking at an option that enhances stability and is also very versatile, the BOG® DeathGrip™ Shooting Tripod.
Fall hunting seasons are heating up and having the right gear for the job can make this season a whole lot easier. Here on Buy or Bust, we've talked extensively about the fantastic versatility that Yamaha ATV's and Side-by-Side's provide for outdoorsmen and women. These machines give you the means to travel as far back into the woods and backcountry as you want. They can take you over rough and rocky terrain. They can navigate tight trails and dense wooded areas. They can haul all of your gear and, hopefully, your tagged animals in and out of the field. In short, they are capable and powerful machines that take a lot of the heavy lifting out of your hunting adventures.
A hard working and capable ATV is a vital piece of equipment for The Revolution crew. On this edition of Buy or Bust, we highlight the 2022 Yamaha Grizzly EPS XT-R, one of our go-to machines for all things work and play. We trust Yamaha's line-up of ATV's and side-by-sides with all of our outdoor adventures. These machines are tasked with navigating the backcountry on hunting and fishing trips when we are hauling gear and animals in and out. They also provide the opportunity to unplug and have some fun as we recreate on any of the endless trail systems across the country. And when it comes to work, they are used daily to cover the miles required to raise and care for livestock on the prairie.
Does a person really need more than one smoker or grill? The short answer: of course!
However, if you were limited to only a single device to cook on in the great outdoors, then it would need to be one that you could smoke and grill with. It would need to be portable, have the ability to cook a lot of food, be easy to operate and produce consistently great results. It would need to be a product like the 18.5" Classic Pit Barrel® Cooker .
