00:00:01 Speaker 1: Nothing worth having comes easy in this life, and since falling in love with hunting, I recognize that success in the field is no different from success in sport. Preparation is Everything. In Pursuit is the latest show from the Meat Eater podcast network where we apply the lessons I’ve learned from two decades of training and ten gold medals across the games. We’re story. I’m your host, Rich Frohning, inviting you to listen in on my conversations with fitness and hunting experts, industry leaders, coaches, athletes, and even some of my mentors as we highlight the…

If you’re a child of the 1990s or later, there’s a good chance you have a complicated relationship with video games and maybe even a little dopamine addiction. It’s the downside of growing up alongside World of Warcraft. (And, by the way, the 82nd Airborne Division command sergeant major graduated high school in 1996, and so was, technically, a ’90s kid. ’90s kids are now the old guard.)The one good thing about being a Millennial (take your vitamins, friends), Gen Z-er or even younger is that your dopamine addiction makes it easy to do things if you can gamify them.…

The back-to-school season is a good time to reflect on the financial lessons we’re teaching our kids — whether we mean to or not. The truth is, we’re already shaping their money habits just by how we live.As military dads with young kids, we don’t need to deliver lectures on compound interest or estate planning (though if you do and your 6-year-old is into it — bravo). What we can do is lead by example and create a household environment where money isn’t a mystery but instead something we talk about, plan for and use wisely, even if we’re juggling…

Galco Gunleather has just rolled out a new version of its Pocket Protector pocket holster to suit the Bodyguard 2.0, Smith & Wesson’s smallest semi-automatic defensive-carry pistol chambered in 380 ACP. Released during the summer of 2024, the Bodyguard 2.0 made waves in the industry due to its efficient design that blends capacity with form factor. Thanks to its uniquely shaped magazines, these pistols have a capacity of either 10- or 12-rounds of .380 ACP ammunition. When it comes to guns of a certain size, pocket carry can make sense. Galco’s Pocket Protector pocket holster series consists of an ambidextrous…

Even with the smaller profile, the Compact still accommodates a full-size pistol, keeping your valuables safe while you are not in your vehicle. “When…

LAS VEGAS—Is narrowing the scope of federal cyber defense making the country safer? A Trump‑appointed official and a former National Security Agency cybersecurity chief offered contrasting views at the Black Hat conference here on Tuesday.Marci McCarthy, who oversees public affairs at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, said the agency is refocusing on its “core mission” as its footprint and workforce is scaled back. But Rob Joyce, who led the National Security Agency’s cybersecurity division, argued that trimming those federal cyber functions risks leaving the U.S. exposed amid intensifying efforts by nation‑state hackers and cybercriminals.Almost one-third of the CISA’s workforce has left or been laid off since…

Tomorrow’s counter-drone systems will need to fire without human approval, Pentagon’s joint missile defense commander says. “The ability to accurately discriminate the threat, positively ID the threat, and then have the system auto-select the right interceptor or non-kinetic capability to defeat the threat is where we would definitely like to go,” Lt. Gen. Sean Gainey, the head of U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command and Joint Functional Component Command for Integrated Missile Defense, said Tuesday at the Space and Missile Defense Symposium. “We will push the boundaries on that, because we have to.”Drone swarms are getting too large and…

Since 2020, China is believed to have tripled its nuclear arsenal to 600 warheads—enough to begin to shift the strategic balance, if still well short of the thousands held by the United States and Russia. “China’s trying to catch up because, you know, they’re, they’re very substantially behind, but within five or six years they’ll be even,” President Trump said in February.But will they? Perhaps the biggest unknown of this new nuclear age is how many weapons Beijing will ultimately hold. Its buildup has a few logical endpoints, and by examining each possibility, observers can better understand what China is seeking.The best…
