Two Years After ‘Titan’ Implodes, a Netflix Doc Reveals Chilling Findings
  Netflix’s new documentary about the 2023 implosion of the submersible Titan reveals a preventable disaster years in the making. Titan: The OceanGate Disaster, premiering on June 11, shows how OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush forced forward a fatally flawed design. Whether it was his commercial interests, or his own hubris, something compelled Rush to ignore safety measures, which ultimately led to...
The 12 Best Gear Deals at Outdoor Research’s Massive Sale

  For more than 50 years, Linville-Central Rescue Squad has been providing SAR services in Avery County and the surrounding region, with a team that includes first responders, certified rescue technicians, EMTs, paramedics, and K9s.

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...
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...
‘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...
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...
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...
Classic Trail Reopens in Zion National Park After 2-Year Closure
  The Emerald Pools, a series of three pristine cascading bodies of water, is one of the most scenic spots in all of Zion National Park.   For the last 2 years, the bridge that carries hikers over the Virgin River has been closed due to an unstable foundation. That forced visitors to make a longer hike with a series of detours....
Get the Shot: Gear Hacks From 8 Outdoor Adventure Photographers
  Adventure photography takes a certain level of skill and a lot of know-how. Like any type of photography, the process is all about telling a story, forcing the photographer to be in the right place at the right time — or often ahead of the action. In order to get to the heart of the narrative, the photographer occasionally has...

Another Tourist in Yellowstone Got Too Close to a Bison. It Gored Him.
  Last summer, Outside sent writer Drew Magary to Yellowstone National Park, not to observe the wildlife, but instead to gawk at the tourists. Amid all the chaos of high season at one of the United States’ most heavily-trafficked national parks, Magary discovered, among other things, that “everyone who comes to Yellowstone is horny for bison.”   But unlike other big, dangerous...
