Classic UK Routes: Commando Ridge, Bosigran Article

Tom Newberry writes about a classic of the West Country with a storied past: Bosigran Ridge, AKA Commando Ridge... When you are on page 1 of the AA UK road atlas and you are parked in the shadow of an old tin mine, there is only one place you can be: Cornwall. Bosigran, probably the most popular of the Cornish...

Discover the Best of Asheville with Advice from Local Experts

　　Over the past two decades, Asheville’s reputation as one of the country’s premier adventure hubs has been built on its unique combination of terrain and culture. There just aren’t many communities like this—surrounded by nature but also serving up a deeply rooted arts and food culture. That means it’s as easy to access hiking, biking, fly-fishing, and paddling as it...

2025 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Vans: More Tech and More eSprinter Configurations

　　Mercedes-Benz is upgrading the tech on its Sprinter vans for 2025 with more features that should make driving the big vans easier. They should be especially helpful if youve converted your van for a high-adventure and outdoors lifestyle. 　　The electric eSprinter is also now available with more body configurations, and while that might sound van-life-ready, its only with a new...

How Everest Was Turned into an Industry

　　When Will Cockrell told me he was writing a book about Mount Everest, he couldn’t see the roll of my eyes. But he’s perceptive enough to have picked up on my lukewarm commitment to being interviewed, and so I felt a need to explain that there are already quite a few Everest books out there. My coffee table is in...

Last-Minute Filson Deals: Spring Sale Ends Soon

　　The apparel and gear from Filson are high-quality and long-lasting. Thats why the prices are so high, and the sales are so rare. This brand made its mark by designing some of the most rugged workwear and outdoor apparel. Just check out our review of its Tin Chaps —which have lasted our tester 40 years and counting. 　　This week, Filson...

Avalanches Caught 117 People in Colorado in 2024. Why Did Only Two Die?

　　Back in December 2023, Colorado was mired with a miserable snowpack. The ski resorts were barely open and a thin layer of rotten snow blanketed the surface of the alpine. Our editors speculated that once the storm door began to open and coverage improved, the pent-up demand in the country’s most dangerous state for avalanches would lead to a high number...

Streamlined and Refined: Holosun HE508T-GR X2 Review

　　Red dots and reflex sights provide a host of advantages for turkey guns, and I would argue that improved accuracy tops the list. Sure, running a traditional bead gives you peace of mind, and you don’t have to worry about a battery dying. It’s as simple as point and shoot, right? 　　But what if your gun’s point of impact isn’t...

Pit Vipers Exciters: Thru-Hiker Tested, Hurricane Approved

　　Cycling, rock climbing, labwork, construction, running, and thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail: My Pit Vipers Exciters have done it all. After ditching everyday glasses for contacts, I discovered the Exciters more than 6 years ago. I needed sunglasses to keep me safe from UV (and potentially flying objects). 　　After several years of testing different shades, Im convinced the Pit Viper Exciters...

Sisay Lemma and Hellen Obiri Just Won the Boston Marathon

　　Sisay Lemma of Ethiopia almost did the unthinkable at the Boston Marathon on Monday morning, while American Emma Bates sure tried to. 　　The 33-year-old Sisay not only ran away from a very strong field to win, but he briefly teased spectators and fans with an unfathomably fast pace. Lemma, who entered the race as the fourth-fastest marathoner in history (2:01:48),...

To Repel Ticks, Hikers Should Smell Like Ants

　　Are you going for a hike? Don’t forget your bottle of ant musk. 　　A new scientific study suggests that some species of ticks—those Lyme Disease-spreading creepy crawlies—are scared off by pheromones produced by ants. Now, a team of researchers is working to synthetically replicate these ant excretions and sell them as tick repellent. Because unlike DEET or Citronella or other...

The Best Sleeping Bags for Camping in Comfort

　　As far as we’re concerned, camping near your car is all about comfort—save the rehydrated meals and paper-thin foam sleeping bags for the backcountry. And if there’s any part of your kit you shouldn’t cut corners with, it’s your bedding. The scenery always looks that much nicer after a good night of sleep. 　　The good news about shopping for sleeping...
