I dont want to die of cancer. That gripping statement from a professional climber sets the stage for Jirishanca. 　　It gets heavier from there. 　　This 9-month-old clip from Reel Rock 18 captures the assumption of risk in the mountains. It focuses on the first ascent of Suerte Integral, a 3,500-foot 5.13a WI6+ M7 route on the southeast face of Jirishanca...

　　Everyday carry includes daily essentials like wallets, watches, sunglasses, multitool, and pocket knives. This gift guide includes these staples and related accessories. 　　Daily items tend to live atop a dresser or side table to keep within reach while getting ready.

　　The annual SEMA Show is all about the automotive aftermarket, and Ive been covering the show for over a decade now. For 2024, I scoured the 2,400 vendors spread out over 1.2 million square feet of exhibit space to find the truly new and cool products that you might want on your next vehicle-based adventure. 　　With around 160,000 people from...

　　This week, two fortunate winners will each receive a pair of KEEN Utility San Jose 6 Waterproof 90° Heel Boots — one mens and one womens — each valued at an MSRP of $165. 　　Don’t let the traditional workwear looks fool you. The San Jose 90° is one of the lightest boots from KEEN Utility yet, weighing less than 25...

　　Shopping for outdoorsy campers and backpackers might seem like an easy task at first. But when you walk into an REI or start perusing a site like Backcountry, the sheer volume of brands and products can be overwhelming,even paralyzing. And the constant flow of new designs and types of products is hard to keep up with. 　　Thats what were here...

　　Theres never a dull moment when you cover an industry devoted to having fun in the Great Outdoors. Brands big and small compete for our attention during the busy shopping months at the end of the year, and we GearJunkies are hard at work digging through them to find the coolest new stuff. 　　That ranges from sexy new ski helmets...

　　My 11th SEMA was just as busy as Ive ever been or seen the show. There were shoulder-to-shoulder crowds just about everywhere across the vast Las Vegas Convention Center all 4 days of the show. 　　SEMA attracted 2,400 vendors and had over 1,400 vehicles on display, across 1.2 million square feet of exhibit space, this year. Around 160,000 people from...

　　The Suzuki 2025 DR-Z4S will receive highly anticipated modern appointments, like fuel injection, ride-by-wire throttle control, and ABS brakes. But hardcore dual-sport and adventure riders have clamored for the outgoing DR-Z400S for decades due to its simple, nothing-to-break, easy-to-repair nature. This new Suzuki DR-Z is a drastic departure from the old-school steed that has proved reliable for many since 2000....

　　Backpacking tents tend to be tighter on space to save on weight. But sometimes, some extra headspace makes it a lot easier to change clothes, play games, or generally live more comfortably. I am only 5’3, so I find most tents spacious enough. My boyfriend, on the other hand, is 6’2 and always appreciates a little extra space. Sometimes, its...

　　Soft, comfortable socks are one of the greatest (and easiest) holiday gifts you can give. But through PAKAs latest giveaway, if you buy a friend or loved one the brands Sock Gift Boxes, you might also be gifting them two round-trip golden tickets to Peru. 　　Winners of the Wonka-style giveaway will get airfare and a visit to PAKA’s flagship store...

　　Mountain hunting boots tend to be stiff. That can be great in near vertical terrain, but for slightly less aggressive hiking and hunting scenarios, a sole with just a little flex makes the going much more comfortable. The Meindl Air Revolution Alpine 4.1 Hiker hits a nice compromise between stiffness and flex for use on both trails and steep off-trail...

　　By the time I was 15, I was well aware Santa wasn’t putting gifts under the tree for me. But that didnt make Christmas Day 1997 any less magical — especially given all the new backpacking gear I had asked “him” for. Brimming with excitement, I tore through the crinkling, colorful wrapping paper. All the colors of our trees lights...
