Untold Tales Episode 57: Trip Insurance

Taking a trip can be expensive--and painful. I should know since I have plenty of experience. You have probably taken a trip a time or two yourself. Parents trip over their kids' toys, construction workers trip head-first into manholes, and athletes trip on untied shoelaces. Everyone trips, but outdoor people probably trip more than anyone else. That's where trip insurance for the outdoors comes in...

Whenever you talk about the possibility of something happening shortly before it actually does, it's hard not to think there could be a connection between voicing your fears and seeing them come to life.

Untold Tales Episode 52: What Will People Say About You When You're Gone?

They say that two things are unavoidable--death and taxes. And while it's true that you can't take it with you, you might wonder what will happen to your hunting and fishing equipment when you're gone. More importantly, what will happen to your good name? Al and his buddy Marty attempt to scratch the surface in the latest episode of UTFTSON.
