As Residents Scramble, State Parks & Historic Landmarks Burn in LA Wildfires
  The Palisades wildfire broke out in the Malibu area of Los Angeles on Tuesday and could become the most devastating fire in Californias history. In the days since, four more fires have sprung up around the city, from Beverly Hills to Arcadia, San Fernando, and within the Angeles National Forest. As these fires devastate neighborhoods and daily life, theyre also...
Our Favorite Festival Gear
  There are music festivals. There are film festivals. There are climbing and biking and yoga festivals. But there’s only one Outside Festival.   The Denver event blends everything that makes outdoor festivals so fun, and the result is much, much better than the sum of its parts. That’s why the inaugural Outside Festival drew almost 20,000 people. It’s also why the...
Climatologist Daniel Swain Warned SoCal of “Extreme Fire Danger” Before the Catastrophic Blaze
  This past Saturday, January 4, Daniel Swain, a climate scientist for the University of California Los Angeles, published a lengthy post on his blog, WeatherWest.com. In the post, Swain warned of  an extreme offshore wind and fire weather event in Southern California the coming days.   Two days later, Swain posted a YouTube video where he again sounded alarm bells for...
The Perfect Travel Watch? VAER G2 Meridian Is a Beautiful Beater
  Leave your expensive watches at home. If youve done any adventurous traveling, you should know that sentence by heart. But that doesnt mean you dont want or need a capable wristwatch, especially a GMT that can track multiple time zones. Thankfully, the VAER G2 Meridian is a lovely watch that costs much less than a trans-Atlantic plane ticket.   Ive worn...
A Guide to Getting Outside Anywhere You Go
  About 80% of the U.S. population lives in urban areas. If youre part of that majority, then you know how easy it can be to view cities as separate from the outdoors. But enjoying nature doesnt have to be relegated to weekend getaways. Fjällräven, a Swedish brand with a distinctly non-American take on the relationship between humans and nature, has...

Eli’s Soul Quest: World Cup Champion Skier Searches for Life After Competition
  She won the Freeride World Tour in 2021 after 7 years of chasing that top spot on the podium. But Elisabeth Eli Gerritzen didnt feel fulfilled by competition. The 29-year-old Faction-sponsored Swiss skier is a self-described anti-systems person, and sports competitions are very systematic. So, after winning the most elite freestyle skiing event in the world, she went on a...
Iconic Sandal Brand Breaks Into Hiking Shoes: Teva Trailwinder Low Review
  I’ve long considered the Teva brand synonymous with sandals. That goes back to my middle school years when my dad proposed we take a guided raft trip. Despite minimal prior experience with watercraft of any kind, we decided a 5-night, 6-day trip down the Middle Fork of Idaho’s Salmon River was the adventure for us.    Then we went shopping. My...
Why Even a Little Bit of Air Pollution Slows You Down
  One of the funny little details in Eliud Kipchoge’s attempts to run a sub-two-hour-marathon was the electric pace cars. In Nike’s Breaking2 race in 2017, they used a Tesla. In the INEOS 1:59 Challenge, where Kipchoge actually broke the barrier, it was an Audi e-tron equipped with a specially built cruise control that was accurate to within less than a...
On Finding Adventure In Your Own Backyard
  I have run and bicycled a certain one-mile section of the paved riverfront multi-use path in my hometown probably at least 200 or 300 times. A handful of times, I have thought to myself, “I should really stop and read some of these historical plaques along the trail.” I believed there to be two or three of them, and in...
AI Rescue Drone, Underwater Bone-Conduction Headphones, Lone Peak 9, and More Emerging Gear
  Admit it: You really missed us. And by us, I mean GearJunkies Emerging Gear column, which has been out of commission for the last 2 weeks of the winter holiday.   It was a short-lived slump for new outdoor products, however, and weve now got a packed week of cool stuff to share with you.   For starters, weve got a few...
