Winter weather is ever-changing, and some days, you just dont know what you will get. I have three different weather apps that I constantly check in the winter, hoping that I can make an educated guess on how I should dress for my run. But the weather is fickle, and living in the mountains makes it hard to track. Ive...

　　Of all the products Ive been skeptical of this year, this one might take the cake. The idea of a cooler that could function well as an air conditioner while still fully operating as a cooler seemed far-fetched. I had money on the fact that this thing would end up being a mediocre cooler and a less-than-mediocre air conditioner. 　　I...

　　The aluminum riveted-together tube that is an Airstream travel trailer is iconic. For 2025, the company will add a shorter version to its latest model line, which is also the most off-grid-capable. 　　Airstream introduced the Trade Wind travel trailer in 2023, with the 25FB. This model line is designed for off-grid capability, both in terms of terrain and living systems....

　　As the digital age drastically reduces the requirement for face-to-face interactions, a loneliness epidemic has garnered the attention of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the U.S. Surgeon General. Both the CDC and the U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek H. Murthy issued statements warning the public about the spread and serious physical and mental health implications of loneliness. 　　Murthy...

　　If fans were craving more heart-pounding tension after yesterday’s nail-biting men’s Combined final, they got it this morning as the women’s Boulder portion of the Combined discipline funneled into the Lead climax. Slovenia’s Janja Garnbret was leading the field, but just barely… some struggles from Garnbret on the last boulder (and, worrisomely, a potential finger injury) meant that other competitors...

　　Peter Hayes Robino arrived at the Natural Bridge trails parking lot in Death Valley on August 1 after a short hike in the desert. That afternoon, the National Parks Furnace Creek weather station recorded a peak temperature of 119 degrees. Death Valley said it was likely that hot when Robino returned from the 1-mile hike. Within a couple of hours, he would...

　　Every shoe brand claims to make us run faster and jump higher. Nothing communicates this better than The Sandlot scene where the baseball-loving rascals watch in envy as their teammate laces up his secret weapon — a pair of PF Flyers. 　　As the audience, we understand the meta-message at play here: The real power was inside you all along! But...

　　It was the Fourth of July, and there was no fire ban in San Juan County, Colo. That was good news because I was about to test a wild new tool Id first seen at Summer Outdoor Retailer 2024 — the Outdoor Element Flickr Feather ECD Survival Chisel. 　　And if one is about to test a Survival Chisel, they darned sure better build...

　　Big wheels?

　　The Great Lakes State thinks the Mitsubishi Delica is a tiny micro van and, therefore, not street legal. That’s what Michigan-based Delica owners are discovering. 　　A letter saying as much (shown below) was first posted in the MDOC: Mitsubishi Delica Owners Club USA Facebook group. The letter specifically states: 　　“Michigan Department of State (MDOS) records indicate you were issued a...

　　Its no secret that the Leadville 100 MTB is one of the toughest endurance races in the world. Each August, hundreds of cyclists tackle this grueling course, biking over 100 miles of rocky terrain 10,000 feet above sea level. For most athletes, finishing this race a single time represents a bucket-list accomplishment. 　　But when John Callahan and Todd Murray pedaled...

　　We were among those who laughed at AirPods back in 2016, when they were first announced. After all, who on Earth would pay over $150 for dangly, earring-looking things that could easily be lost? Many people, apparently. Nowadays, that form factor is the norm and scads of solid alternatives are available, primarily ranging from just a third to over double...
