Wild Game Recipe: Texas Axis Venison Burgers
I recently returned home from a free-range axis deer hunt in Texas. The views were amazing, the axis deer were a blast to chase, and (possibly the most important part) the food from my harvest was incredible. I had heard for several years about how great axis meat tastes, and that it would be hard […]

Fire Preparedness and Firefighting – Part 2, by Always Learning
(Continued from Part 1. This concludes the article.) We did the usual pre-fire prep as soon as we heard the fire broke out, putting all the patio cushions in the house, closing drapes / blinds etc. We have lightweight patio furniture that we stacked up. For folks that cannot do that and do have a pool or stock tank, throw the patio furniture in there is our suggestion. We turned all the interior and exterior house lights on and unlocked all doors and disconnected the garage doors from the electric mechanism so every door could be opened easily. I am …

Fishing in the Five in Mexico’s Baja California Sur
The best way I can describe it? It’s like a neon sign. The colors seemed to glow, and even change in brightness and hues as I stared at it. It was the first dorado I’d ever caught, and it was the beginning of a memorable fishing excursion to the southern tip of Baja California Sur, […]

Fire Preparedness and Firefighting – Part 1, by Always Learning
Our community was hit by a major wildfire a few years ago. The fire was purportedly started by utility power lines arcing during high winds in the late afternoon, at the same time as another fire started nearby. Firefighters had initially responded to the other fire, which delayed their response to this one. Firefighting was further hampered because our community’s water comes from a huge tank above it; this tank was drained dry during the first hours of the fire, so once that tank was empty, there was no more water available to the firefighters. Once the water was gone …
