Life has taught me that there are always those members of a population that can’t follow simple rules. Here’s where our extra thirty pounds, five inches, and fifty percent more physical strength can actually be of benefit. When you observe a woman enduring that sort of thing, step up and tell the source to KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT AND MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS. And if she doesn’t want to engage with you, even after your chivalrous act, you KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT AND MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS too. This is simply behaving like decent humans. It’s easy. It’s what we owe the women in our lives and it’s how we become better as men and a species.

When heading out into nature for any extended period, nutrition is the most important element of preparation. We can belabor over what type of weapon to bring if we’re hunting, what kind of gear to pack given the weather and environs, and what cool new toys and gadgets to include in our pack.

The ketogenic diet is the latest trendy diet with people vehemently defending its claims ranging from increased endurance capacity to prevention of fatigue during exercise. Most of these enthusiastic claims have been based purely on personal testimonies. Call me old fashioned, but anecdotal evidence is not enough to change how we address sports nutrition for athletes.

Cavatappi is corkscrew shaped pasta. You can substitute for another type of pasta if you would like. Primavera is a pasta dish that combines vegetables with pasta.

Our super Friend from the Internet Roque Rodriguez joins us here at SOFLETE HQ to talk predator hunting, rifles, and all things happening in the wilds of South Texas.

Roughly the size of a domestic house cat, the African giant pouch rat has far superior olfactory receptors, making them ideal for sniffing out buried land mines and TNT.  A few factors come into play when working with the rats: mainly that their training starts when they are pups.

The most key element to any extended time spent in the wild is a sensible pack out.

You don’t always need to head to the middle of nowhere to get your climbing fix in. In fact, plenty of cities are beginning to feature some of their natural crags and ledges for climbers to enjoy without breaking the bank on a weekend climbing adventure.
