Forgiving, Tough, and Fun Down Whitewater: Glide Lochsa 3.0 SUP Review
  Sometimes, you end up having a much tougher day on the water than you anticipated. Thats what happened to me in March, when I returned to my favorite section of the Chattahoochee River to test the Glide Lochsa Whitewater SUP 3.0 against some Class II-III whitewater.   Unfortunately, I made a classic rookie mistake — I neglected to check the water...
This Rod Won’t Teach You to Fish, But It’ll Do Everything Else: Fenwick Elite Bass Casting Rod Review
  I immediately knew it was a big’ ol bass when I felt a light bump and set the hook. My assumption was confirmed when the largemouth launched out of the water, trying to shake the jig I had just lodged in its mouth with my Fenwick Elite Bass casting rod loose. “Oh gosh, that’s gotta be a 4- or 5-pounder,”...

Video: This Puffy Jacket Made Mount Everest Base Camp Feel Like Home
  Conditions can be inhospitable at the foot of Mount Everest. Swirling winds blow snow and debris, overnight temperatures drop below zero degrees Fahrenheit, and the midday sun will burn uncovered skin and gear.   Our Everest correspondent, Ben Ayers, recently spent a month living at the Mount Everest Base Camp. During that time, Ayers tested a long list of gear, from...
Feast for the Eyes: ‘Astonishing’ Images From 2025 Pacific Crest Trail Photo Contest
  Photo contests are about much more than recognizing talented shutterbugs. These celebrations of the medium can force us to slow down and take a moment to truly appreciate what were looking at.   The social media platforms we all use —the ones filled with more jaw-dropping images than a Life magazine retrospective —are still more known for doomscrolling than for quiet...
Light-Up Mountain Lamp, Gold SEAL Watch, Hunt-Inspired Sandals, and More Emerging Gear
  It wasnt intentional, but we ended up with a technology-heavy roster of new products this week. Perhaps thats no accident, given that even our outdoor lives look increasingly like an away mission from a Star Trek episode.   That means outdoor creatives will find plenty to interest them, however, including durable new packs for photographers, tough charging cables, and recycled cases...
My Favorite Running Gear for When It’s Hot as Hell Outside
  Like many runners, each evening I tell myself that I’m going to wake up at 5 a.m., get out the door at 6, and be home by 7. But more often I sleep through my alarm, or have to deal with an early-morning kiddo problem, and end up running midday. And by high noon, my hometown of Albuquerque, New Mexico,...
Outdoorspeople Are Obsessed With the Summer Solstice. This is Why.
  Growing up in suburban North Atlanta, the only time I ever heard about the solstice was during the astronomy segment of science class. It wasn’t until I moved out West that I learned it’s basically the unofficial national holiday of the outdoors.   “What are you doing for the solstice?” a friend asked me the first year I lived in Colorado....
Part Pack, Part Vest for Fast Alpine Travel: Millet Trilogy Sky 25+ Backpack Review
  We started from the trailhead just before sunrise — headlamps on, moving at a power-hike pace toward a spring ski objective deep in Colorado’s alpine. Within an hour, the skis and skins were deployed, but the pace couldn’t let up.   Now in the alpine, we transitioned back to boots. I slid my skis into the loops of Millet’s new Trilogy...
Patagonia Launches ‘Parenting: Disaster Style’ Short Film Series: Watch the First Episode
  Zoe Hart and her husband, Maxime Turgeon, have endured a lot since they met. The two alpinists have summited extremely tall and technical peaks, spent long, cold nights on the sides of mountain cliffs, and traveled the world in search of alpine adventure. For a long time, theyve practiced what they jokingly call disaster style alpinism.   Now, theyre learning disaster-style...
This Pair of Sleep Headphones Helps You Sleep Comfortably
  I was at the gym, listening to Tim Ferriss’ Tribe of Mentors: Short Life Advice From the Best in the World, when an interviewee mentioned that a pair of sleep headphones had transformed their once-wakeful nights. A lifelong insomniac, I immediately set down my dumbbells, grabbed my phone, and placed an order.   A week later, my AcousticSheep SleepPhones arrived.   (TL;DR:...
New Ram Truck Warranty Offers Coverage Twice as Long as the Competition
  Ram has just announced one of the longest warranties in the business. The big news for Rams half-ton pickups this year was going to be the return of the 5.7L Hemi V8. But now the truck and van builder has outdone itself, adding a new 10-year warranty to help make sure that the Hemi stays in your driveway for a...
