What started out as a dream for land outside of the city for a nice get-away to keep animals and a shooting range turned into the perfect place to start a bug-out plan in motion.

While being interviewed Nardizzi explained that co-branding requires significant internal coordination with lawyers, PR people and others to manage it and finished by stating that we wouldn’t understand it. Really? I certainly do.

The Booby Trap?

The Taylor Fur Getter—a unique contraption with brutal consequences. The ring is not for a string, it is for the bait. When pulled …well, essentially committing suicide by shooting itself in the face.
