YETI has built a reputation for creating best-in-class coolers and lifestyle products, and this week’s announcement is no exception. He ROADIE WITH WHEELS 48 and the ROADIE WITH WHEELS 60 they are hitting the market in August just in time for hunting season and a very busy fall. The Wheeled Roadie is built for travel. Whether in the back of the SUV or the back of the truck, these coolers are easy to take right to your campsite or boat.
YETI understands innovation. They are continually working on new colors and new products, even products you haven’t even thought of yet. We took our first tour of a YETI store in Charleston, SC last month and it was impressive to see the wide selection of merchandise, from YETI tumblers to all the great color combinations in the cooler line.
The Roadie launch includes two models that will be available in late August: the Roadie 48 ($450) and the larger Roadie 60 ($500). Both refrigerators are nearly 20 inches tall and about 20 inches deep. The Roadie 48 is almost 20 inches wide and the big Roadie 60 is almost 24 inches wide. They hold around 40 and 50 cans respectively with an ideal YETI ice to can ratio of 2 to 1. The height of these allows them to be tall enough for wine bottles and 2 liter bottles. We often fill old 2-liter bottles with water, freeze them, and throw them into the YETI along with ice cubes. We will do this when we know we have extra space and this will allow us to have cold water to drink after several days.
Fully loaded, the big YETI Roadie 60 is a solid cooler. Integrated wheels make this cooler easy to move with the strong telescopic handle. Loading it on the boat or in the back of your SUV or truck, feel free to ask your friends for help; fully loaded it is heavy. Done right, the YETI Roadie is as solid as any cooler on the market. Ice and cold drinks will last 4-7 days depending on usage. Honestly, you really can’t ask for more than that from a cooler.
Buy it once and take care of it, these will outlast any cooler you’ve had in the past. The handle and ability to maneuver these coolers down the dock, around campground, or down the trail at the hunting camp is truly a game changer.

Each summer, competitors from across the country travel to Camp Perry in Port Clinton, Ohio, for the national games, which are open to the public. But many people don’t realize that shooters of any level are welcome to shoot at Campo de Petrarca and the National Matches. Petrarca Range, located on the grounds of Camp Perry, is an indoor shooting range open to the public on Mondays and features electronic targets equipped with the most innovative technology on the market.
“Petrarca Range is for civilians to learn, practice and have fun,” said Mike Conrad, director of Petrarca Range.
The Petrarca Range firing stations are located at the edge of bay gates that swing open to give people access to the range’s 10 electronic rifle targets. The targets feature Kongsberg Target System (KTS) technology that relies on acoustics to determine the location of the shot. Score is instantly displayed on easy-to-use touchscreen monitors at your side.
Electronic Targets in the Petrarca Field.
“There are microphones at each corner of the lens. The microphones pick up the sound and triangulate where the shot is,” Conrad said. “There are no scoring rings. This eliminates the need for someone with a spyglass.”
The KTS-enhanced targeting system is one reason Jim Sherman commutes over an hour from his home in suburban Cleveland several times a month to shoot Petrarca.
“It’s good because scoring is really fast and very easy. You just look at the monitor. That’s important because I shoot from all positions and I don’t want to get out of position to look at my score,” Sherman said. “You’re not sending someone into the pit to constantly change targets, and you’re not relying on a spotter. Relying on a spotter makes shooting more complex, and Petrarch eliminates all of that.”
Shooters aiming down the Petrarca Range from a seated bench position.
Philip Edwards of Marblehead learned to shoot while serving in the Vietnam War, but his wife, Joyce Edwards, was new to guns when they started shooting air rifles at the Gary Anderson CMP Center of Competence next door to Petrarca. Joyce instantly took up the air rifles, but was hesitant to move on to larger guns on Petrarch. That soon changed.
“I could tell when he first shot Petrarca with his .22 that it was hooked,” Philip said.
Joyce shoots accurately enough, Philip said, “to shoot a golf ball 100 yards all day.” Within the comfort of the Petrarch Mountains, Joyce quickly transformed from a timid competitor to a medal winner. Philip and Joyce began shooting Petrarca in 2017, and in 2019 they won gold and silver medals respectively on small-bore bench at National Tournaments.
Shots are displayed on a monitor at each firing point.
“We have been very blessed with the Petrarca staff. They are so amazing, so personable and so accommodating. They understand that shooting is something new for some people,” Joyce said.
But the range is just as suitable for experienced shooters like Philip. The range offers some protection from the elements while also exposing shooters to the difficulties they present.
“I like the range because it is a challenge. Sometimes it rains, sometimes it snows and sometimes it is windy. It’s a challenge because it’s never consistent,” Philip said. “You have to figure out how to shoot in any circumstance.”
A competitor takes aim down the Petrarch Range. The range is open most Mondays to the public.
The CMP will host an M1 Garand, Springfield, Vintage Military & Modern Military (GSMM) Match on June 24, with the first relays beginning at 9 a.m. The competition is open to the public. The cost of a GSMM match is $40 for adults and $30 for youth. Two games are $70 for adults and $50 for juniors. Three games are $100 for adults and $70 for juniors. CMP achievement pins will be awarded to winners.
GSMM Match will be governed by the CMP Competition Rules which can be found at http://thecmp.org/competitions/cmp-competitions-rulebooks/. For more information about the game, call CMP Competitions at 419-635-2141, ext. 714, or visit https://ct.thecmp.org/app/v1/index.php?do=match&task=edit&match=24146.
“The GSMM Match is like the long range but smaller. They will shoot from all three positions (prone, prone and standing),” Conrad said.

Petrarca Range is open to the public most Mondays from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., but people should check the hours before traveling to Camp Perry. The pitch will be open on various days/times during the National Matches in July and August. In addition to electronic rifle targets, the range also offers cardboard gun targets. The range rate is $10 per hour or $25 for three hours. Only ammunition no larger than .30-06 can be fired at the range.
Sherman appreciates having access to the KTS-enhanced electronic targets.
“Many ranks are switching to these targets. It’s the wave of the future,” Sherman said. “It’s a huge time saver. As a shooter, it’s wonderful to have instant feedback. It is worth the hour and a quarter of the trip.”
Philip and Joyce said it’s not just the technology and challenge of the range that brings them to Petrarca several times a month. They also come for the camaraderie.
“It’s more than shooting,” Philip said. “It’s about visiting friends. We talk about shootings and current events and all kinds of things.”

Troy, MO. — A major multi-phase recreation expansion project at Missouri’s popular Cuivre River State Park is one step closer to completion thanks to teamwork between the Union Sportsmen’s Alliance (USA), several local unions, and a handful of nearby businesses .
Teams of union apprentices and instructors from International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) Local 513 and Operative Cement Masons and Plasterers International Association (OPCMIA) Local 527 recently completed earthmoving and leveling work for a new field of archery in the park.
“This is something we’ve always wanted to expand on,” says Jason Harrison, Cuivre River State Park Superintendent.
International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) Local 513 was on site for four weeks moving earth, grading, compacting, backfilling and providing heavy equipment expertise.
Located near the St. Louis and St. Charles metropolitan areas, the park receives many visitors from those communities who come to be a part of nature, he explains.
“One of the missions of the state park system is to increase recreational opportunities for our clientele,” he says, “and one of those is the archery program that we offer to various groups. We have used a temporary Kevlar backdrop for the program in the past, so a state-of-the-art archery range is a natural fit for the park.”
When completed in July, the range will include five Americans with Disabilities Act compliant shooting lanes with protected targets progressing from 10 to 50 yards, and an elevated shooting platform with its own set of targets. Wheelchair-accessible sidewalks from the ADA-compliant parking lot will connect the shooting stations and targets, while another concrete path will extend to the platform that includes a lower ADA-compliant shooting lane.
“All of the work that has been done, and will be done in the coming weeks, has been donated entirely by a labor force of union volunteers as part of the US Work Boots on the Ground (WBG) program.” says Sam Phipps, US Conservation Programs Manager. “It is our flagship program that uses union members who volunteer their time and business skills to, among other things, improve public access to the outdoors.”
For two weeks, OPCMIA Local 527 trainees built forms, placed wire mesh reinforcement, and poured concrete for the sidewalks and piling for the elevated tower.
IUOE Local 513 apprenticeship instructors James Gibson and Joe Wallace, along with seven union apprentice members, spent four weeks moving earth, grading, compacting, backfilling and supporting the cement masons. Overall, the equipment operators donated 400 labor hours (valued at over $20,000) to the project.
“Many of our union members are also outdoorsmen,” says Gibson, “so a project like this allows them to do something for the community that they are also passionate about. It also benefits our apprenticeship program, I think, because it teaches young union members that it’s important to be active in their communities while providing valuable on-the-job training with a real instructor present.”
Over two weeks, Scott Downs, apprenticeship instructor for OPCMIA Local 527, had 20 cement mason apprentices build forms and place wire mesh reinforcement and pour concrete for the sidewalks and piling for the elevated tower.
The Cuivre River Archery Range project involves the joint efforts of many local unions, companies and friends of work.
OPCMIA International General President Kevin Sexton and Vice President Alise Martiny were on hand for the final pour, as were a group of students from Troy Buchanan High School who came to help out and receive hands-on training.
“They and their teachers stepped in to help my apprentices,” says Downs, “and at the same time they were exposed to the trade of concrete mason.”
Ryan Meyers is the Career Coach for the Lincoln County School District and says that Troy Buchanan High School has 250 students enrolled in its Construction Trades Program. As a comprehensive project each year, students in the program build a house from the ground up to interior finish and then put it on the market.
“We had 25 students on site on the archery range project, helping the trainees pour and finish the concrete,” he says. “It was a great hands-on experience for our sons, and I think this partnership with Concrete Masons will continue for some time to come.”
OPCMIA International donated all the concrete for the project and both its General President and Vice President were impressed with the result.
“Congratulations to Scott Downs for accepting this project,” says General President Kevin Sexton. “It takes a lot of effort to plan and coordinate something like this, where the union gives back to the community while also providing a training platform for the future workforce. Getting high school students involved was also a wonderful thing.”
“This was such a successful project,” adds Vice President Alise Martiny. “From the Missouri State Park System to the citizens of Troy, apprenticeship programs, and students who worked on the job, we all won. The volunteers did an amazing job making sure everything was covered, and that’s what unions and organized workers are all about. We like to work for and with the community.”
In all, according to Downs, Local 527 volunteers donated 1,000 hours of work, valued at $55,000.
Behind the scenes, other local unions and companies have contributed heavily to the project so far, according to Sam Phipps.
“Magruder Limestone Co. was kind enough to donate 690 tons of screens used for backfill,” he says, “while Millstone Weber donated 80 tons of rock.”
Iron Workers Local 396 donated all of the wire concrete reinforcing mesh, as well as the rebar cages for the platform piers, he adds, as well as materials and making arrow quivers for all the shooting stations. Plumbers and Pipefitters Local 562 donated materials and built bow hangers for the firing stations, while Painters and Allied Trades International Union District 59 covered the cost of painting the hangers and quivers.
Work on the project will be completed in July when volunteers from Carpenters Local 32 and Roofers and Waterproofers Local 2 build the shooting platform and shooting shelters.

NEW HAVEN, Missouri – From humble beginnings in a one-car garage, the vision of providing outdoor enthusiasts with quality gear at an affordable price has spawned one of the most successful outdoor manufacturing companies in the US and this year, ALPS (Active Lifestyle Products & Services) celebrates its continued success as the company celebrates its 30th anniversary.
“Enjoying the outdoors is a blessing in many ways,” said ALPS owner and founder Dennis Brune. “Whether we’re camping by a beautiful lake with our family, taking a road less traveled deep in the backcountry, or even teaming up with a good friend, outdoor adventures build the soul and instill memories that last forever. . For our family and our employees, the outdoor lifestyle and our loyal customers have blessed us tremendously.”
1993
Dennis and his wife LaRayne started ALPS in their small garage with a mission to create performance-driven outdoor gear at a reasonable price. What started as a line of fanny packs eventually grew to include tents, backpacks, camping furniture, sleeping systems and more.
2007
With the camping segment firmly established, ALPS expanded to include the ALPS OutdoorZ gear brand. Taking lessons learned from the camp side, the company focused on designing and producing tech packs and support essentials for the hunting community. Along the way, ALPS OutdoorZ leveraged its success to help support habitat preservation and conservation initiatives with leading organizations in the outdoor sports segment.
2009
Not long after establishing ALPS OutdoorZ, the company partnered with Browning to produce camping gear under the Browning Camping brand, gear built to align with Browning’s “The Best There Is” philosophy. This was followed by hunting products including blinds, stools and accessories produced under the Browning Hunting Blinds brand.
2012
When the country was finally coming out of the Great Recession, ALPS introduced another brand called Cedar Ridge. Cedar Ridge’s idea was to provide “starter” camping gear and accessories for the family budget. This coincided with a strong push by ALPS to involve more youth in outdoor recreation.
2023
Today, ALPS and its family of brands continue to expand through innovation, new product development and refinement. The latest effort incorporates the company’s new R.3 initiative. With the mission of Reduce • Reuse • Recycle, the R3 The program represents a further push to use more recycled content in materials and packaging and further mitigate environmental impact.
“As we recognize our 30th year in business,” Brune continued, “we also celebrate our customers who have brought us here. And somehow, we live vicariously through them. When we pack up a tent or ship a backpack, we often think, ‘Where is this going? What adventures will you see? Who is the person who will sleep in this bag? Will there be a young, first-time hunter sitting in this hide when his first deer is captured? From the product designer who first puts pen to paper to our warehouse team who sends the boxes out the door (it may sound trite or cliché, but it’s true), we feel a personal connection to our consumers through each and every one of the products we make. ”
