　　Ultralight, four-season tent for winter adventures near treeline

　　Built to be the ultimate shelter for backcountry skiers, splitboarders and snowshoers, the MSR Access 2 tent is lighter than a mountaineering tent, but warmer than a 3-season backpacking tent. Limited mesh on the tent body offers greater warmth on frigid nights, while the light and packable design saves you precious energy on the climb and descent. The interior is spacious for changing clothes, and the strong frame resists overnight snow loading. Quick to set up, the tent offers the protection needed for camping in less severe conditions, such as those near treeline—making it perfect for accessing the bowls, ridges and powder fields above.

Footprint sold separately.

Video: Is Mount Everest Base Camp Too Cushy?

　　In his latest video dispatch, Ben Ayers explains what day-to-day life is like at Mount Everest Base Camp during the spring climbing season. There are a plethora of stories out there about the extravagant infrastructure at the base of the worlds highest peak, such as fancy espresso machines, massages, and five-star cuisine. But is life in Base Camp too cushy?...

‘Alone’ Was Forever Changed by a Moose Hunt in the Canadian Backcountry

　　The twang of a recurve bow echoes from the television speakers, and on screen, a man wearing camouflage ducks behind a clump of fir trees. 　　Holy cow, I nailed it, a voice whispers. My heart is pumping so fast right now. 　　The scene marks the turning point of season 6 of the survival reality show Alone, and first aired on June...

Finally Undammed: Indigenous Kayakers Become First to Paddle Complete Kalamath River

　　The Kalamath River has been dammed up for 100 years. But thanks to the work of conservation organizations and activists, one by one, the Iron Gate, Copco 1 and 2, and J.C.

Nike and Faith Kipyegon Plan to Crack the Four-Minute Mile This Month. Here’s How.

　　Earlier this week, I found myself dissecting an embargoed briefing video frame by frame, like a JFK obsessive trying to squeeze meaning from the Zapruder film. I’d just had an interview with three top scientists from Nike’s Breaking4 team, the group tasked with coordinating Faith Kipyegon’s attempt to run the first women’s sub-four-minute mile later this month. I got some...

Senate GOP Wants to Sell 3 Million Acres of Public Land: ‘Gravest Threat’

　　Two weeks ago, House Republicans removed a controversial budget provision to sell half a million acres of public lands. The outdoor recreation industry, including national organizations and heavyweight brands like Patagonia and The North Face, helped raise a chorus of protest against the unprecedented move to sell off federal land used by hikers, mountain bikers, climbers, and paddlers. 　　For many...

　　Weve got a respectable mix of cool stuff for you this week, from hardy outdoor gear and techy gadgets to colorful collaborations meant to stand out from the crowd. 　　There are a few more collaborations than usual this week, but how can we leave out stylish, Keith Haring-inspired running shoes, understated threads from Toyota, or a fashionable pairing of Osprey...

After 10 Years Hiking Europe, These Are My 10 Favorite Treks

　　For years, I’ve snubbed Europe’s mountains as soon as the ski season ended. For me, the Alps were long synonymous with winter: hut-to-hut ski tours in the Italian Dolomites, shots of schnapps at après in Austria, and cozy cabins and hearty meals of fondue and raclette in Switzerland. 　　Around a decade ago, a work assignment took me to the Savoie...

The 6 Best Joggers for Men, Tested in the Real World and In Our Gear Lab

　　The everyday jogger isn’t as robust as soft shell pants you’d climb a mountain in, nor are they lifesaving items like avalanche airbags or helmets that traditionally get tested more rigorously. But during my decade of working as Outside’s Gear Guy, the tests I’ve enjoyed the most are when weve gone deep on everyday pieces of gear like the humble...

Plaid That Performs: Pladra Workhorse Wool Flannel Review

　　This spring, I brought a stack of flannels to wear around the chalet on a ski trip to the Alps. We were visiting a lodge on the French-Italian border for some après-heavy backcountry skiing: Plaid shirts, warm fires, morning coffee in tiny cups — that type of stuff. The days were crisp, and the mountains were calling. 　　Ive never worn...

Opinel Launches ‘National Parks Collection’ Knives to Support Leave No Trace

　　A lot of utility knives are works of art in and of themselves. But when you combine an already beautiful blade with a handle thats been imbued with an artists touch, it takes the craftsmanship to another level. 　　Opinels limited-edition National Parks collection knives are a perfect example. The folding knife brand launched this collection on June 12, 2025, to...

Cyberpunk Two-Wheel Transporter: Meet the Infinite Machine Olto

　　If you slowly whittled down a Tesla Cybertruck into an e-bike, I imagine it would look something like this. Of course, I doubt the brand behind this innovative take on an electric bicycle would appreciate the comparison, given the political climate. 　　Regardless, the Olto looks different for a reason: Its not quite like any e-bike/e-moped that has come before. Created...
