THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF EATING VENISON
As a hunter, conservationist, and lover of wild game, I can tell you that eating venison is not just a delicious culinary experience, but it's also a healthy choice that provides a wide range of benefits.
First and foremost, venison is a lean protein that is low in fat and high in nutrients. It is an excellent source of vitamin B12, which helps maintain healthy nerve cells and red blood cells.

GULF OF MEXICO - A FISHING PARADISE
As a lifelong angler and outdoorsman, I've had the opportunity to fish in some of the most beautiful and bountiful waters in the world. And let me tell you, few places compare to the Gulf of Mexico when it comes to the sheer variety and abundance of fish. From red snapper to grouper to amberjack, these waters are teeming with life.
One of my favorite ways to fish in the Gulf is to target red snapper, a prized game fish that's not only delicious, but also provides a challenging fight. These fish can be found in a variety of habitats, from shallow reefs to deep offshore waters, and are known for their bright red color and distinctive eye-catching dorsal fin.

ICEHOLE TALK - MOLLE ACCESSORIES
HISTORY OF MOLLE
WHAT IS MOLLE, AND WHY IS IT ON MY ICEHOLE?
MOLLE webbing, which stands for Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment, is a system of webbing straps and pouches that allows for customizable attachment of equipment to tactical gear. This system has become a staple in military and law enforcement operations, as well as for outdoor enthusiasts and survivalists.
Origins of MOLLE Webbing: The MOLLE system was developed in the late 1990s by the United States Army’s Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center, as a replacement for the ALICE (All-purpose Lightweight Individual Carrying Equipment) system, which had been in use since the Vietnam War era. The MOLLE system was designed to be more...

CLEANING & STORING YOUR ICEHOLE
