Gear:
I noticed that BOLD Arms–one of my favorite AR parts suppliers–has just added MagPul polymer magazines (PMAGs) to their inventory, at competitive prices. They even have the scarce sand color (that can be dyed any color to suit your fancy) PMAGs and the tres-cool D-60 drums available. I should also mention that they gladly accept Bitcoin, Dash, Litecoin and Monero cryptocurrencies for payment. I’ve found that BOLD Arms has great customer service. Take a look at their site!

Wow. Thank you for the website The Art of Manliness. Even though I, a woman and a former English teacher, thought I was well read, this site offers extensive book lists and advice on what I consider a great disservice being forced on our young men.
There are far too many boys in our society being raised by single moms and absent fathers (my own daughter is in this situation). That and the idea currently floating around on “toxic” masculinity–whatever that means–is destroying our current generation of men.
I urge everyone to read this website, and thank you to the editors of this site. You should be required reading for everyone who wants to either be or raise a strong man.
We got this book for our son-in-law for Christmas, but we all totally enjoyed reading it! A wonderful gift for graduation or birthdays.
RE: Estwing tools, I mostly use the 26″ campers ax, I keep one in my truck and one on my quad for quick work on the property. While a bit narrow for splitting wood efficiently, they cut, maintain an edge and really throw a chip. I really need to get one of the Geo/Paleo picks to round out my trucks pioneer tool kit. Estwing tools are very good for the price and durability.
The Holodomor just passed its 85th anniversary. It is not known to most people due to Soviet cover-up and the media favourite Jewish Holocaust. However, we do know that between 7 and 12 million Ukrainians were starved by Stalin in 1932/33. God bless them.
