  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.

Skip Yosemite: The Best Backpacking in California Isn’t in a National Park
  California is a backpacker’s paradise, with stunning trails in national and state parks, and in the mountains, deserts, and along the ocean. Yet for all of this natural beauty, some of the state’s best backpacking actually lies in a little-known wilderness area near Fresno.

The Best Hunting Socks of 2025
  As a kid, I often wore two or three pairs of cotton socks topped with a super thick wool sock. It was a very inefficient system and did more harm than good. After many years, miles, and cold sits, I learned just how important good hunting socks are.   Hunting socks may not be a glamorous gear item, but they sure...
Gold Standard in Packable Camp Chairs Gets an Upgrade: Helinox Chair One (re) Review
  They say you shouldn’t reinvent the wheel — but what about the chair? Simple things ought to be simple, I thought to myself while breaking out the new Helinox Chair One (re) while camping recently. And chairs? Assuredly, we’ve got them down at this point.   Apparently, I was wrong. Success is a process, and while the original Chair One set...
Why Moab Is Even Better Than You’ve Heard
  Everyone who loves adventure must, at some point, make a pilgrimage to Moab, Utah. Just don’t be surprised if one trip turns into many. Cradled in a sprawling, three-dimensional garden of spiraling towers, sandstone arches, plunging canyons, and wind-polished slickrock, Moab is the hub of a 20 million-acre desert playground. The landscapes are otherworldly. The sunsets are second to none....
If You Think EVs Are Dead, Think Again

There seems to be no new headline in the news these days that doesn’t hammer home the evolution of EVs.   The federal tax credit is about to go down the drain, sales of EVs are definitely not...

‘The Challenge of Our Time’: Ex-Outside Editor Launches Investigative Site to Cover Public Land Threats
  The media has undergone a radical transformation in recent years —and publications covering the outdoors are no exception.   In 2023, the Disney-owned National Geographic fired all of its staff writers, leaving few, if any, full-time writers and editors for the longtime gold standard of outdoor journalism. Outside Magazine slowly grew into a conglomerate of outdoor publications, and then fired so...
