Way back in the plane, I was the last to walk out of coach. I landed in Osaka, Japan, running from the rising sun for the last 12 hours. “Now that’s a nice carry-on!” the flight attendant piped. “Expensive!” 　　I chuckled. She wasn’t wrong. My kit for 2 weeks was packed in Sterling Pacific’s yet-to-be-released40L Cabin Travel Case, a four-wheeled...

　　If youve ever walked out to your car and found a dead battery, you know how important it is to have a car battery charger on hand. Nobody has time to wait for roadside assistance or a jumpstart from a good Samaritan, which is why most people invest in a battery charger for additional peace of mind. 　　A good battery...

　　If you love carving, get a ski built for it. Most all-mountain skis these days make big promises of being perfect for everything from powder to carving to X-Games. (OK, maybe I’m exaggerating a touch.) The reality is that most skis are better in some conditions than others, and Fischer’s RC One 86 GT doesn’t hide the fact that it’s...

　　Charlotte Harris and Jessica Oliver managed to cross half the Pacific Ocean in a small rowboat, setting a new record for both male and female teams.

　　Over decades of living and visiting North Americas sunniest and hottest places, I grew tired of flimsy packable shades and versions that were anything but portable. I had given up, no longer willing to toss sunshades in the trash after a summer or deal with heavy behemoths that took up too much space in my vehicle. 　　Helinox had seemingly dodged...

　　There are a million ways to sharpen a knife, but in the last couple of years, rolling knife sharpeners have become a viable option.

　　The Park Fire, a massive blaze that emerged overnight near Chico, Calif., has already burned more than 45,000 acres and forced the evacuation of thousands of local residents. 　　Less than a day after it began on Wednesday, fire investigators arrested a 42-year-old Chico man on suspicion of pushing a burning car into Bidwell Park and starting the blaze, according to...

　　Peanut butter and jelly. Hot dogs and buns. Beer and fishing. If you thought these were all things that go well together, Carlsberg would like to kindly explain that you are wrong. 　　Yes, you read that right. The Carlsberg beer company today launched a safety campaign asking you not to drink and fish. And my world just imploded. Did a...

　　You know a rescue is impressive when the search team that pulled it off wins an award. 　　This week, the Black Canyon of the Gunnison Search and Rescue (SAR) team was awarded $25,000 for their efforts to save Becca Steinbrecher in September 2023. At the time, the Colorado climber attempted the Great White Wall, a 1,200-foot route in the Black...

　　What on earth is happening at Kia? Were not just talking about the wild graphics package/camo on the new Kia Tasman pickup truck prototype, but about a lot of what is going on in this teaser video. A teaser ad that has us sad, because it might be the only time the Tasman is ever actually driven in California. 　　The...

　　America loves the idea of watching people fight for survival against the elements. After all, Survivor — now in its 46th season! — is the longest-running reality TV show of all time. 　　So it should come as no surprise that BattlBox, an adventure subscription box company aimed at outdoor recreation, is planning a similar competition for this fall in Savannah,...
