The 2018 Ford-150 is the Motor Trend Truck of the Year and has been the No. 1 selling vehicle in America for 36 years. Even more amazing – last year Ford sold an F-150 almost every 35 seconds. Clearly, I’m not the only one with an affinity for Ford Trucks and specifically the F-150.
Now, the first ever, F-150 diesel is making its debut, turning heads and raising eyebrows. Joining us this week to show off this brand-new beast is Travis Calhoun, the F-150 Consumer Marketing Manager at Ford. For all those drivers out there, who are looking for fuel economy while they tow and haul, you are going to be pumped! So, for you outdoorsmen and women who are pulling your boats and campers regularly, or for those people out there that make their living on the road, hauling and towing several days a week, this should speak to you.
Prepare for loads of awesome coming your way because Yamaha just released some brand new 2019 offerings and Steve Nessl, Yamaha’s ATV and Side-by-Side Marketing Manager, is here to unpack it all for us!
I feel like I need a drumroll here to build your anticipation, so do me a favor and pretend. Introducing the Wolverine X2 the newest member of the Wolverine family. This 2019 Wolverine X2 isn’t just a 2-seat version of the wildly popular Wolverine X4, it’s more compact and nimble which make it well equipped to take on tight trails with ease. In addition, it’s also built to work. A 600-pound capacity dump box and 2000 lb tow rating really drive home the working capability of this X2 and meet the demands of more buyers as it allows drivers to load and haul a tremendous amount of cargo and off-load it with ease.
Hunting participation is at an all-time low. Who's to blame, and how can we fit it?
There has been some panic recently about the decline in hunter participation, as if it happened overnight. People are suddenly opening their eyes to the real and negative consequences that are coming down the pike due to fewer hunters in the field each season. I’ve been sounding this alarm for the last few years, and if you didn’t see it coming, then you’ve had your blinders on. A survey from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says that only 5% of Americans, 16 years and older, actually hunt. That number is half of what it was 50 years ago, and it's only expected to decline further in the next 10 years.
As outdoor lovers, we are always looking for a good excuse to get lost in the back country. We want something that is capable of tackling the diverse terrain and tasks that we present it with, but we still want it to look good. The 2019 Ford F-150 Raptor hits all those sweet spots - it's off-road capable, powerful and versatile, and just might be your new truck crush!
The Ford F-150 Raptor is the ultimate off-road truck and for 2019 it got an upgrade - it's tough, intuitive, capable and will be hitting dealerships this fall. You may have to wait a few months to sit behind the wheel of the upgraded Raptor, but in the meantime, Brian Bell, the Ford F-150 Marketing Manager, is joining us to give y'all a look at this off-road machine.
I’m a no-frills kind of guy and that approach is also extended to camping with my family – I keep it simple. While some people load their entire vehicle up with gear to the point that not even the human occupants can fit inside, I’m about the necessities, nothing else. Of course, you should have the right gear for the occasion, I don’t advocate for anyone being ill prepared. However, I’m also a believer in a large dose of Suck It Up! Camping isn’t always comfortable, so deal with it!
America has a love affair with grilling, barbecuing and outdoor cooking. In fact, 75% of adults in the U.S. own a grill or smoker. My obsession with grilling and Weber grills led me to seek out the expertise of a real pro and share it with all of you. Weber Grill Master, Kevin Kolman, is back on the show this week with tips for grilling the best burger, cooking wild turkeys over charcoal, a look at grills and accessories you’ll want to check out, and so much more.
As outdoor lovers, many of us share a common bond beyond our passion for the outdoors. We love trucks.
Our pickup trucks are a home away from home, packed with all of our outdoor gear and tasked with getting us where we need to be. Whether it's on the pavement or miles into the backcountry, we depend on and ask a lot of our trucks. What sets us apart is the truck we choose to meet our personal needs. There has been a tremendous amount of growth in the midsize pickup market. Not everyone needs a full-size truck. Some people need a truck but want the smaller footprint of a midsize without sacrificing towing, hauling, capability and the ability to venture off the pavement and take on off-road environments.
Statistically, chances are you WON’T be dying from a snake bite this year. Congratulations, you’re going to make it another spin around the sun. You’re actually 9 times more likely to be struck by lightning than to die of a venomous snake bite. Doesn’t that just give you the warm fuzzies all over?
Let’s talk custom rifles! Back by popular demand, it’s Derrick Ratliff, President and Founder of Horizon Firearms.

This week Derrick will talk about the 22 Creedmoor and address some listener comments and questions surrounding this caliber.
There’s never a bad time to get outdoors and explore. There are 610 million acres of public land across the country and more than 100 million outdoor adventure seekers that look to those lands for a place to recreate. Public access is such an important issue as it affects the ability of citizens to get out and enjoy the outdoors in their individual pursuits of riding, camping, hunting, fishing and other outdoor activities. Yamaha has spent the last decade supporting access with their Yamaha Outdoor Access Initiative where they have awarded more than $3.5 million in funding to help improve access for safe and sustainable recreational use. Steve Nessl, Yamaha’s ATV and Side-by-Side Group Marketing Manager, joins The Revolution this week to talk about the extensive efforts that Yamaha is putting forward to help benefit all outdoorsmen and women.
