Maximum Flotation, Minimal Compromise for Paddling Big Water: Astral Indus PFD Review
  After scouting the whole gorge a few hundred feet below us, we committed. As we looked downstream on the Stehekin River toward the final crux rapid, made up of three high-volume, dynamic recirculating holes, we knew there was no turning back.   Both of us were ready: wearing all 22 pounds of flotation packed into the newAstral Indus PFD— but even...

Chihuahua Saves Hiker’s Life After Fall Into Crevasse
  A four-legged hero has emerged on Switzerlands Fee Glacier. After its owner fell into a crevasse, a chihuahua helped alert search and rescue teams to his location, likely saving his life, according to local officials.   On July 4, a man was walking with his long-haired chihuahua when suddenly a snow bridge broke, and he fell nearly 26 feet into a...
Budget Buoyancy: Goodr Tidal G Floating Sunglasses Review
  If youve spent any amount of time on a body of water, chances are youve found sunken, destroyed sunglasses. I see them all the time, and with each discovery, I feel a moment of excitement, with dreams of finding a set of Costas dancing through my head. Every time, its met with the disappointment of algae-covered gas station glasses.   Ive...
Rainproof Daypack, No Cover Necessary: Osprey Downburst 36 Review
  I’m a sucker for backpacks. Day packs, casual backpacks, backpacking backpacks — they each serve a unique purpose. I’ve been building my backpack collection over the past few years and love having the perfect pack for whatever the day’s adventure might call for.   I split my time pretty evenly between the mountains and the sea, and was in the market...

  Rivian has finally revealed the most anticipated version of its R1S and R1T. The Rivian R1 Quad models are the ones with four motors that give a total of 1,025 horsepower.

Anglercore: The Troutless Trend Sweeping the Streets
  I put off writing this piece for as long as humanly possible. Not because there wasn’t enough material, but because every time I thought about it, my eyes nearly rolled out of my skull.   Our editorial director, Sean McCoy, pitched me on covering the fishing lure nail trend a while back. I accidentally forgot to. Then our favorite staff writer,...
Worthy of a Cult Following: Kizer Drop Bear Review
  Knives are seasonal for me. I tend to carry heavier, bulkier knives in the colder months and lighter knives in the spring and summer. This owes partly to the fact that 10 years ago, lightweight knives were generally meant for light duty.   But now with advances in materials and manufacturing, lightweight knives have become more capable than ever.   When I...
Perfect for Everyday Exploring, Not Hardcore Hiking: Teva Original Universal Sandal Review
  I’ve long been a Chaco sandal gal, but sometimes they feel a little technical for everyday use. Searching for something a little lighter and less clunky for a road trip recently, I rediscovered the Teva Original Universal Sandal. I rocked a pair of Tevas as a kid in the 90s, and it turns out they’re still in style!   Whether I...
