The Revolution knows that you work hard for your money and that testing new hunting and fishing gear in the lobby of your local Cabela's just doesn’t cut it when it comes time to drop some coin. So Jim, Trav and Mrs. Bunny, each week, put the industry's best new outdoor products to the test as they rank them in their Buy or Bust segment. They aren't in to cheap gimmicks, they don't care about what's sexy, they just want dependable gear at reasonable price and nothing else.
In this Buy or Bust Jim and Trav talk trap. Automatic trap throwers are fun for the entire family and they will provide hours on end of countless entertainment, every week, all summer long. The boys own several Do All Outdoors FP25 – Fowl Play Automatic Trap Machines and they love its operating system that runs on a 12v battery which allows its user to take it anywhere. Trap thrower accessories include wireless remotes, oscillating bases and wobble bases, as well as transport carts. Double remotes can operate two trap throwers at the same time and the Do All Outdoors FP25 – Fowl Play Automatic Trap Machine can be yours for around $300 bucks. You can’t beat it.
In This Buy or Bust Jim and Trav catch wind of a great new product. The Firefly is a sophisticated instrument that uses the latest in state-of-the-art technology to accurately read wind direction and speed. The Firefly is simple to operate, just push the button on the side and it immediately starts sampling current conditions and shows the results in 3 seconds. It retails for a whopping $49.95 and comes in all sorts of colors, camo patterns, and its specs are: height - 4.63", radius - 2.16", weight - under 3 OZ without batteries.

In This Buy or Bust Jim relives his recent Canadian adventure where he bear hunted with his all new Marlin 45/70 and fished for eight plus pound Northern Pike with a Shakespeare Wild Trout Spinning Rod and Reel Combo that he bought at Cabela’s. Jim was blown away by the Shakespeare Wild Trout Spinning Rod and Reel Combo’s performance and says that this series puts quality into the hands of all types of anglers and will assist them in landing the biggest catch of their life. You’ll dig this Buy or Bust so don’t miss it.
In this Buy or Bust, Jim and Trav encourage everyone to keep in touch during their back country travels with the SPOT Gen3 Satellite GPS Messenger. The SPOT Gen3 Satellite GPS Messenger keeps you connected and updates your progress using satellite technology and it maintains communication almost anywhere on the globe. So, if you ever find yourself in a pinch like the dude from “127 Hours”, (Pun intended) you can simply message for help instead of hacking off your arm. Jim and Trav give the SPOT Gen3 and its price tag of $74.99 Two Thumbs Up and a High Five, it’s a total buy.
In this Buy or Bust, Jim and Trav elevate their game with the Hawk Transformer Hunt-Pod. The Hunt-Pod is a self-contained stand that transforms from a rolling unit to a 9-foot platform and integrated stand. The unit, which doubles as a game cart, how sweet is that, weighs 93 pounds and includes a handy dandy hitch for pulling it with an ATV. Its MSRP is a whopping $329 bucks, but Jim and Trav say it’s a total buy for those hunters who are needing elevation where a traditional treestand just isn’t an option. Take a listen.
In this Buy or Bust Jim and Trav tell America’s hunters and anglers to “Suck It Up”, by way of the LifeStraw. LifeStraw water filters make water contaminated with bacteria and protozoa safe to drink and LifeStraw water purifiers also remove viruses. Aside from its super cool price tag of $19.95, the LifeStraw is durable, lightweight and requires no electricity or batteries to operate – you just suck on it. So, go grab a dozen LifeStraw’s, or so, and find the dirtiest puddle of mud you can, and sip away. Heck, this twenty dollar investment just might save your butt.
In this Buy or Bust Jim and Trav rave about the Sitka LaunchPad. The Sitka Launching Pad is a mobile closet for changing truck-side, keeping your equipment as uncontaminated by foreign odors as possible. “It’s awesome because you can stow your bow in the main compartment and organize all of your gear in the stretch mesh compartments”, Trav says.
In this Buy or Bust Jim and Trav bring awareness to the importance of K9 vaccinations and regular flea and tick control treatments. Just recently Jim’s dog, Harley, was bitten by a rattle snake and he also fell ill to sickness due to tick bites. Luckily, Harley was current on all of his vaccinations and Jim and Trav swear by the power of K9 Advantix. It’s a small price to pay when it comes to your pets health and it will ultimately save its life. This is a must listen to Buy or Bust.
In this Buy or Bust Jim and Trav praise the Nikon Lens Pen cleaning system. Let’s face it, as hunters we’re all guilty of abuse and neglect when it comes to proper care and maintenance of our optics, and this simple $9.99 investment can help turn that all around. The Nikon Lens Pen will not scratch or damage lenses, including multicoated surfaces, plus it’ll quickly remove fingerprints, smudges, grease marks, and dust, and it can easily be carried in your pocket. The Nikon Lens Pen cleaning system is hands down the best $10 purchase you’ll ever make.
In this Buy or Bust Jim and Trav opt to save their cash by exploring the underground world of digging for bait. Earthworms, better known as Nightcrawlers, are commonly found living in soil, feeding on live and dead organic matter. Nightcrawlers are far less abundant in disturbed environments and are typically active only if water is present. So round-up the neighborhood kids after you sprinkle your yard and enjoy the endless savings you'll find with every Nightcrawler you nab.
