“Devil’s Blanket” May be One Reason for Recent Ice Rescues

CLEVELAND — Rescues in Saginaw Bay, Michigan, Sunday evening and Lake Erie Monday morning are the latest in an alarmingly high number of Great Lakes ice rescues since Saturday, prompting a Coast Guard reminder of the risk of venturing out onto the ice and of the importance of taking appropriate safety precautions.

Throughout the weekend the Coast Guard, good Samaritans and the Bay County, Michigan Fire Department rescued eight and assisted six people across the lakes, an unusually high number attributed in part to a milder winter and environmental conditions like “the devil’s blanket.”

“My ice rescue crews spend more time on the frozen Saginaw Bay than anyone, and every one of us has learned that ice conditions are unpredictable,” said Master Chief Petty Officer Terry W. Lathrop, officer in charge of Coast Guard Station Saginaw, home of the National Ice Rescue School. “One thing we can say with certainty is that the ice will almost never be as thick as it was last year, so don’t go out expecting 30 inches of ice.” Read more

SAF Sues DC Over “Good Reason” CCW Requirement

BELLEVUE, WA – The Second Amendment Foundation today filed a federal lawsuit challenging the District of Columbia’s highly restrictive concealed carry permit requirement that applicants provide a “good reason” before such a permit is issued, which violates the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.

The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. SAF is joined by three private citizens, Brian Wrenn and Joshua Akery, both of Washington, D.C., and Tyler Whidby, a Florida resident who also maintains a residence in Virginia. The city and Police Chief Cathy Lanier are named as defendants.

The lawsuit asserts that “individuals cannot be required to prove a ‘good reason’ or ‘other proper reason’ for the exercise of fundamental constitutional rights, including the right to keep and bear arms.” All three individual plaintiffs in the case have applied for District carry permits and have been turned down by Lanier because they could not “Demonstrate a good reason to fear injury to person or property.” Read more

Swivelift Allows a Single Person to Lift and Load Items like Never Before

Viking Solutions LLC is pleased to introduce the patent-pending Swivelift into a rapidly expanding product lineup. The Swivelift is a hitch-based lifting system that has been built to eliminate the aches and pains of loading and unloading bulky objects. This product has been designed so that one person can safely load a heavy cooler, trophy buck, or any other item that would normally require an additional person.

Once the item to be lifted is secured to the lifting platform, a hand winch is used to raise the load slightly above tailgate level. Now, the heavy item can simply be swiveled and pulled off of the platform and into the truck bed. This is a simple and easy way to keep from straining yourself when hunting or working alone.

Boasting a large 36.5″ x 21.25″ platform, the uses for the Swivelift are nearly unlimited. The Swivelift breaks down into three manageable pieces, the lifting platform, vertical post, and the receiver assembly. With a setup time of under a minute, the loading or unloading process can be underway without sacrificing precious time at the end of a long hunt. All components of the Swivelift incorporate durable powder-coated steel that will ensure years of use. Read more
