10 Best Throwing Knives (2022 Update) Buyer’s Guide

Throwing knives are among the coolest looking tactical weapons out there.

The origins of throwing knives can be traced back to many ancient civilizations throughout Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas. They are widely considered one of the original weapons used by man and were purportedly the weapon of choice for Tutankhamun in Egypt around 1300 B.C (1).

However, if you’ve ever tried throwing a knife, it can be quite difficult. Sure, it looks awesome in the movies when the bad guy is stopped by one, but when you’re first starting out in your backyard, there are a few tricks to learn.

First, it takes hours of practice to even be somewhat decent at it. Second, you ‘ll need to accurately gauge how far the target is, how many times the knife will spin, how hard to throw, the right arm motion, and that’s not all. You’ll also find out pretty quick that having the right knife is critical.

10 Best Survival Shows (2022 Update) Buyer’s Guide

In most cases, the goal is for the person or couple to live off the land for a given amount of time using only their wits and a few simple tools. Shows that feature teams or large groups are typically focused on seeing who can last the longest in the wild.

Survival shows can trace their roots to the 1990s, but the idea did not really take hold in the public consciousness until ‘Survivor’ hit the airwaves in 2000. While not a true survival show Survivor did spawn numerous shows that sought to reduce the theatrics and focus more on practical ways a person might survive if lost in the wilderness.

20 years ago survival shows were the exclusive domain of network TV. Today they can also be found on cable stations like Discovery, streaming services like Amazon and even Youtube. Some of these are new productions but many are reruns. Below are the best survival shows of 2022. (more…)
