Don't toss those those dead rechargeables out of your mobile phone, camcorder or camera—they can be recycled. In fact, they're toxic, the industry wants them back and is providing thousands of recycle bins in the U.S. and Canada to make… To inspire active participation in the world outside through award-winning coverage of the sports, people, places, adventure, discoveries, health and fitness, gear and apparel, trends and events that make up an active lifestyle. To keep the bike unobtrusive in natural settings, we had all the body work film-dipped by Dynamic Finishes in ATACS camo pattern, which blends in with a variety of outdoor settings. Best of all, this pattern is subtle enough to still look good on the street. Great purchase!! Researched bikes for months and finally dropped the hammer. The All Terrain R750 is the perfect stealthy hunting machine. Eric is easy to talk too and will set you up with the correct bike you need ! The inspiration for the Defiant came from company founder Kevin Spreng’s frustration at the lack of appropriate winter bikes. An attorney and committed bike commuter from the Twin Cities, Kevin wanted a bike that he could ride to work and for fun year round, through the harshest Minnesota winters. There simply wasn’t anything on the market capable of getting him through the snow and slush that made riding a challenge for...

It that the Bad Boy “Scout” model made by Bad Boy Buggy? You could use a kid hauler trailer as a meat wagon! I shouldn’t poke too much fun, I use to hunt on my moped when I was a teenager. Brought a whole meaning to Road Hunting. It was all fun and games until I rounded a corner and almost hit a black bear and I was toting a single shot 410 shotgun with #6 shot. “It’s not an AG100, but it’s actually quite capable on the hills for what I need. In a lot of the places I go hunting, there’s dead ground to cover, sometimes up to 4km of walking, so I decided to treat myself seeing as I was turning 50. That’s my excuse anyway.” Presented at Eurobike 2010 (where it took home a Gold Award for innovation), the Schwinn Vestige is finally hitting the mainstream market, selling in stores across the U.S. toward the end of July 2011. The biodegradable bike is made from recyclable… A new wave of companies in the U.S. rents these rugged campers (and some cool vintage vans, too). From modified vans to standalone adventure rigs to 4x4s, these rides will get you into the wilds in style. This would be a great tool to maximize the number of sets a person could do for calling coyotes.  At least it would be great to use beforethe...

Not that the concept is new or anything. The Coburn CG4, which offers a mountain bike specifically geared toward hunters and their equipment, came out in early 2013 and has had mixed interest and sales. It seemed that the hunters who were already riding mountain bikes and into fitness (not a whole lot of folks unfortunately) loved the concept. Defiant Bicycles LLC was founded in 2011 by Jonathan Dombek, Kevin Spreng and Greg Heinemann. All are avid cyclists and not only committed to the sport of cycling but also to green and responsible practices and the idea of creating a new category of cool, electric all conditions fat tire bikes. Defiant is based in St. Paul, MN, where Spreng and Heinemann live and Dombek resides in Carnation, WA. It represents the collaboration of seasoned business people, passionate about bicycles and obsessed with quality. Together, we have a long and successful history in business with a focus on Marketing, Sales, Engineering and Entrepreneurship. All have created multiple companies that they have successfully led. Defiant is a labor of love and rising to the challenge of creating a cool, functional means to exercise, commute and simply live a life Defiant – Status quo be damned! CB4 is equipped with full range gearing, all-condition disc brakes and a wide handlebar for control even while loaded. The frame has attachment points for a rear...
