A reliable light source is the most convenient and useful thing a person can have with them. A reliable flashlight can be invaluable, whether it’s on a dark and stormy night or during a power outage.
Thanks to NEBO, this doesn’t mean carrying around a big, bulky light at all times. The Columbo Keychain Pocket Light is compact, convenient, and built to be the go-to light for the person who doesn’t want to think about carrying a light with them.
The key to the Columbo Keychain Pocket Light is its simplicity and convenience. It is simply activated with a simple one-hand twist operation.
For a keychain pocket flashlight, simplicity is more important than having the versatility of multiple light modes seen with larger flashlights. The most common reason to use a keychain light is for short, up-close tasks that can come up unexpectedly.
The Columbo Keychain Pocket Light’s 100-lumen output offers plenty of light to illuminate a vehicle interior, jogging path, or porch, as well as individual task or project lighting with a 40-meter (131-foot) beam distance.
The housing is anodized to resist corrosion and is constructed of aircraft-grade aluminum. It is waterproof to 1 meter for 30 minutes and is impact resistant. The 100 lumen LED is powered by a single AAA battery that provides up to 1 hour of operation and is easily replaceable. The removable key ring allows you to attach it to your car keys, backpack or bag, so you always have it close at hand.
It’s just over 3 inches long and less than 1 inch in diameter, so it’s not much bigger than a lip balm or pack of gum. With the Columbo Keychain Pocket Light, there’s no excuse not to have a light when the unexpected happens.

Huk’s Waypoint Collection is designed to protect anglers from the cold and oceans from discarded plastic. The latest addition to Huk’s acclaimed Waypoint collection of outdoor clothing made from recycled plastic are the full-zip and half-zip fleece jackets. Nature lovers will keep this jacket close at all times.
Anglers, boaters and outdoor enthusiasts have long turned to polyester fleece for everything from comfort on a cool morning to layering in the coldest weather. It provides warmth, but its breathable construction allows perspiration to evaporate rather than trap it on the skin. Waypoint Fleeces are great for jogging, walking, working, school, or a day on the town, and are perfect for a chilly day on the water.
Huk partnered with REPREVE® to incorporate recycled materials into its Waypoint line to help reduce plastic pollution. The collection will have the same exclusive Huk style but with an eco-friendly twist. On average, nine recycled plastic bottles are needed to create one item in the Waypoint Collection. Blended fabric provides flexibility and stretch while maintaining shape and fit.
Huk’s fleece is made from 100% recycled polyester, as the brand builds on its commitment to help reduce plastic pollution. Using recycled polyester prevents plastic from entering the waste stream, which could end up in oceans or other sensitive environments. It makes the production of new materials less necessary, conserving natural resources and avoiding processes that generate emissions.
The Waypoint Fleece FZ and Edisto Fleece FZ Full-Zip Jackets and Half-Zip Pullovers feature quick-drying fabric, a must for anglers dealing with bow spray and splashing fish on the boat. Elasticated cuffs keep the cold out on cold days. The zippered chest pocket holds a phone nicely, while the zippered hand pockets are perfect for a quick warm-up before hitting the water. The high collar on both styles offers comfort on a crisp fall morning.
Colors include Egret, Charcoal Heather, Moss, Black, Overcast Grey, Titanium Blue, New Khaki, and Sargasso Sea. Sizes range from Small to Triple XL. The Waypoint Fleece will allow anglers to feel good about venturing into cool weather and help protect our environment.
Marolina Outdoor Inc. was founded to provide a deeply rooted product experience across all outdoor categories. Our innovative designs and technology-focused products create the foundation for our authentic outdoor apparel. Huk clothing represents a fresh take on and unique understanding of the needs of fishing, offering functional styles that appeal to anglers of all ages. NOMAD is motivated to provide quality clothing so hunters can maximize their hunting experiences and provide sustenance regardless of the size of the game or where their activities take them.

“The Hunters’ Leadership Forum welcomes the opportunity to partner with organizations like Farmers & Hunters Feeding the Hungry to help solve America’s hunger problem.” said Peter Churchbourne of the NRA Hunter Leadership Forum. “We encourage the donation of game meat to help with this effort and advocate sharing the important role hunters play in solving the food security equation.

XS® Sights is pleased to introduce two online rear sight tools for Glock.® pistols: DIY Series™ and GUNSMITH Series™. Both are quick and easy to use, reducing installation force by up to 50%.
The unique open design of these tools allows for easy visual alignment and viewing of the installation process, while the locking wedge feature makes it quick and easy to secure the slide. The tools feature a non-marring brass bit to prevent scratching and a built-in centering scale for precision windage adjustments. The compact, lightweight size of these peephole pushers makes them ideal for the kitchen or a workbench. Both tools work with all Glock generations and models and, unlike other Glock scope pusher tools on the market, can be used with suppressor height sights and even on Glock pistols equipped with red dot sights without removing the sight. optics.
DIY Series™ Sight Pusher Installation Kit for Glock®
Designed for the DIYer who owns or maintains multiple Glock pistols, the DIY Series Glock Sight Pusher Installation Kit allows users to easily complete a wide range of sight installations on all Glock slides, including front sights. optical/suppressor height. An Allen key, included in the kit, is turned to move the pusher back and forth along the slide, and the sight installation and removal process requires up to 50% less force with the XS tool than with other sight pushers available due to low pusher bit placement. When installing suppressor height and optical sights on Glock MOS and aftermarket optical cut-off slides, the factory and optical plate cover must be installed prior to mounting the tool on the slide. (It is not necessary to cover the plate with the GUNSMITH series).
DIY series kit includes scope pusher with stainless steel bolt, locking wedge, Allen key, go/no-go gauges for troubleshooting, steel Glock front sight tool, oil and threadlocker.
This peephole pusher weighs 1.4 lbs. and is rated for 50-100 view installations.
Retail Price: $150.00
GUNSMITH-Series™ Sight Pusher Installation Kit for Glock®
Designed for professional use and DIYers who demand the best performance from their tools, the GUNSMITH series offers the fastest Glock scope installation. Instead of an Allen key to move the rear slide, this tool comes with a T-handle for increased leverage and an easier turn to slide the rear sight. The handle doubles as a front sight tool and both it and the bolt on the tool are fitted with magnets. The magnet in the bolt head secures the multi-function T-handle while installing rear sights. When installing the front sights, the magnetic hex bit securely holds the Glock front sight bolt in place for a no-drop installation process.
This series fits all OEM and aftermarket Glock slides and is Glock MOS compatible for easy sight installation with a pistol mounted red dot sight.

The XS Sights Inline Rear Sight Pusher Tools are designed for use with the XS R3D and F8 night sights, however they will work with many other brands of aftermarket sights. Maximum tool life is estimated based on the installation of XS R3D Night Sights on OEM Glock slides. Aftermarket slides do not reflect the exact Glock dovetail. Users should expect to apply 50-75% more force on aftermarket sliders, which places more load on the tool, reducing tool life. No sight pusher is necessary for installations of XS’s flagship DXT2 Big Dot night sights.
“Knowledge from our more than 25 years of sight manufacturing and gunsmithing experience went into the development of these inline rear sight pusher tools, and we are excited to provide Glock owners with such versatile scope pushers that are easy to use and work with all Glock pistols. said Addison Monroe, marketing manager for XS Sights. “Portability is an important factor, so we used an aluminum body that is 40% lighter than other Glock-only sight pushers on the market. Compatibility with suppressor height sights and red dot optics was another key consideration, given the growing popularity of both. The design provides ample clearance for taller sights and allows for windage adjustments on the rear sight of MOS pistols while keeping the red dot sight attached to the slide.”
Made in the USA from hard coat anodized 6061 T6 aluminum, versatile, durable and reliable, XS Scope Pusher Tools make changing scopes on Glocks easy. All the more reason to upgrade your factory scopes with XS night scopes that are highly visible in any light.

EDGEFIELD, South Carolina — The NWTF’s Waterways for Wildlife Initiative is kicking off another round of funding for critical riparian conservation projects in 2023.
Launched by the NWTF in 2022, the burgeoning Wildlife Waterways Initiative made significant progress in improving wildlife habitat along water corridors in its first year through 14 ready-to-run projects, currently Ongoing and with the goal of improving approximately 7,677 acres of wildlife habitat and impacting nearly 80 miles of stream.
By 2023, the Waterways for Wildlife initiative seeks to expand its impact on critical riparian habitat. The landscape-scale initiative is once again accepting applications for financial assistance in support of projects that improve wildlife habitat in riparian systems and those with direct water conservation benefit.
Eligible parties include federal, state, and local agencies and entities, conservation organizations, colleges/universities, and private property owners currently working through a recognized federal, state, or local government-sponsored conservation assistance program.
Application forms can be downloaded here.
“Through collaboration with our partners, we will end up delivering nearly $3 million in critical conservation work in just one year,” said Jared McJunkin, NWTF director of conservation operations for the Midwest. “We look forward to continuing the collaborative efforts established in just one year to ensure that riparian areas are conserved in perpetuity.”
Over the next 10 years, NWTF’s Waterways for Wildlife seeks to raise $10 million in private funding and mobilize $40 million in partner matching funds to enhance 75,000 acres of wildlife habitat along 1,500 linear miles of waterways in the landscape of the Great Plains.
Riparian areas are a natural magnet for wild turkeys and hundreds of other wildlife. These areas are also crucial for fish and other aquatic life, as they help control erosion and filter excess nutrients and chemicals from surface runoff that can negatively affect spawning and nursery grounds. Riparian areas also control flooding, improve water quality, and meet community and agricultural water supply demands while recharging groundwater aquifers.
