Here’s What It’s Like to Go Camping with Shailene Woodley
  The camp chairs are set up. A cracked clipboard rests under my arm. I’m stuffed into my mom jeans. It’s showtime.   June gloom blankets Encinal Canyon in a lush mist. I could be in Narnia instead of Malibu, but I barely notice. My body stands in front of a marooned Airstream, waiting. But my mind is back home, wondering if...
Wahoo ELEMNT Ace Review: Air Pressure Sensor Is Like a Wind Tunnel on Your Bike Computer
  To many cyclists, especially road racers and triathletes, the ability to measure aerodynamic drag is the holy grail of data. The drag created by the body is one of the largest determinants of performance in these sports. And Wahoo brings relative aerodynamic drag measurements to the handlebar.   Wahoos air pressure sensor is a category first and is, by far, the...
How Indigenous Activists Lead the Largest Dam Removal Project in American History
  Molli Myers was pregnant with her firstborn when the salmon began to die. It was 2002, during the depths of a yearslong drought, and farmers far upstream of her community on the Yurok reservation in Northern California had pressured the George W. Bush administration to divert water from the Klamath River in Oregon to irrigate their fields. Water temperatures rose...
Neck & Neck: AR World Champs Headed for Razor Finish
  Four teams have been neck and neck for hundreds of miles of the Adventure Racing World Championships, competing ferociously to be the first to cross the finish line in Cuenca, Peru. So far, teams have traversed cold, high-altitude mountain plains, fast-flowing rivers, and dense, humid forests.   Now, teams from France, Estonia, Sweden, and Brazil are closing in on the home...
Badass Alpine Shell With Gimmicky App-Pairing Zipper: Artilect M-Formation 3L Review
  Setting out from the parking lot of Meadow Mountain, it was bright, sunny, and in the mid-40s — warm for a February ski tour. But that didnt last long. About halfway to the summits ski shack, clouds rolled in, the temperature dropped sharply, and winds started picking up, biting through my fleece midlayer. I donned my Artilect M-Formation 3L shell...
A Bow for Every Shooter: Mathews Unveils 2025 LIFT X, XD, RS
  Hunters tall and small rejoice. Matthews Archery got a little more inclusive for 2025. I know, most of you dont have to worry about it. But the fact is, a fair number of archers (like me) have a really hard time finding bows that fit. Thats part of the reason that Im stoked to write about the 2025 Matthews Archery...
People Are Traveling More Than Ever, Driving Residents Crazy. It’s Time to Listen to the Locals.
  Paige McClanahan, a journalist and travel writer, is much too diplomatic to phrase it this way, so allow me to be the grump: you’re the reason locals so often dislike tourists.   “Travel has become a consumerist exercise where the goal is to get our money’s worth out of a place,” McClanahan says in a phone interview from her home in...

To Break a World Record on Everest, Nepali Mountaineer Purnima Shrestha First Broke with Tradition
  Born into a family of subsistence farmers in the tiny village of Arughat, Nepal, Purnima Shrestha thought that the mountains around her were out of reach. Her village is a stop on the Manaslu Circuit, en route to the eponymous 8,000-meter peak, but Shrestha’s family didn’t even have running water. As a woman, she was expected to marry young, raise...
The 13 Best Airports in the World with Outdoor Lounges, Parks, and Pools—Yes, Pools
  If you’re a regular traveler like me, you already know this: most airports are awful. You’re constantly rushing through a crowded terminal, competing with a harried mess of humanity, only to then cram yourself into a narrow seat for a few hours until you get to your next terminal purgatory—meanwhile, dragging your luggage the whole way. Germs waft through the...
Rail to Trail: 7 NYC Hikes Accessible by Train
  When you think of New York City, it’s easy to imagine all the makings of a concrete jungle — towering skyscrapers in place of mountain peaks and more light pollution than starlight. But amid the hustle and bustle, the city’s parks and green spaces offer a chance to enjoy nature without leaving the five boroughs.    Hike on forested trails or...
The Best G-Wagen Ever Is Electric: 2025 Mercedes G 580 With EQ Technology Review
  Known officially as the G 580 with EQ Technology, the new G stuffs a battery pack and four electric motors into the internal combustion version’s existing chassis rather than starting from scratch. The electric G-Wagen also receives slight stylistic revisions, mostly in the name of aero.   But even if electrification represents the logical next step for a historically established military...
