There's no shortcut to building gear that won't fail.

That's why First Light built the new forge waiters from the ground up,

field tested where failure isn't an option.

Designed for waterfowl hunters who show up in the dark,

who break ice at the shoreline, and who stay out when

the conditions stay brutal. These aren't fair weather waiters. They're built to perform, built to last.

If you're planning your waterfowl season, plan around gear that won't quit on you. Forge waiters

by First Light, zero quit season after season. Available now at Firstlight.com.

It seems like you can't throw a rock on a public hiking trail without hitting someone on an e-bike these days.

I'm not saying you should throw rocks at e-bikers, by the way. But for some reason, that's just the first expression that comes to mind. Anyway, e-bikes are popular because they make it easier to access backcountry locations. You'll get there faster. But there's also a downside. A lot of people don't know about, and I'm talking about

short battery life. Unlike dirt bike riders and ATV aficionados, e-bikers don't pay back into the
