Undefeated After 10 Years, This Solar Lantern Still Rules: BioLite Luci Lanterns Review
  Desperate times call for desperate measures. Nearing 10 p.m. and the campfire just hitting its stride, my phone died — along with our tunes. The worse news was that my battery bank hadn’t made it into the truck.   Then a lightbulb, or rather a lantern, lit up — the little inflatable light source illuminating our shindig also had juice to...

  Bryson City, North Carolina, is more than just a postcard-perfect mountain town — it’s where professional kayaker Evy Leibfarth learned to paddle and found her footing as a competitor and person. “To me, Bryson City is just where it all started — kind of where I found myself, Leibfarth says.   On her home turf, the Nantahala River, Leibfarths days are...

  Unprepared hikers are getting stranded and injured in unprecedented numbers in Skamania County, Wash., and the sheriff has had enough.

Senate Parliamentarian Blocks Public Land Sales in Budget Bill
  In a major development for public land advocates, the Senate parliamentarian, Elizabeth MacDonough, has ruled that a proposal to sell off federal land cannot be included in the GOP-backed budget reconciliation package.

Opinion: Rebranded but Still Rotten, Sen. Mike Lee Updates His Public Land Sell-Off
  Senator Mike Lee is backpedaling sort of.   After proposing a sell-off of 3 million acres of public land, he was met with a massive backlash from hunters, anglers, ranchers, and public land users across the country.   The Senate parliamentarian dealt him another blow, ruling that public land sales can’t be included in the reconciliation package he planned to use to...
Comfortable Pack Puts Safety Up Front: Gregory Paragon 60 Backpack Review

Grizzly Recovery Efforts, Once Booming, Now Face Limbo
  Visit a mountain trailhead here in western Montana right now, and you might be treated to an unusual sight: car-size white cylinders.

This year may be...
