SAVE THE DAY
No one survival kit does it all—which is
why we’ve assembled five essential kits for
hunters, anglers, and total outdoorsmen.
Each has the tools you’ll need not only to
stay alive but also to thrive in the wild.

THE PREGAME SHOW
Just before bass hit the beds, they’re at their
peak weight. Cool. Problem is, these fish can
be a nightmare to locate. Our pros take the
frustration out of the hunt, and tell you what
to cast to get bit by finicky prespawners.

THE SILENCER
When Ryan Rigdon came home after his
second tour in Iraq, a toxic and haunting
battle with PTSD nearly ended his life. But,
through therapy and a newfound love for
hunting, he found the peace needed to quiet
his inner demons.
