Sometimes, we go to Mountain Project for the beta. But sometimes, we go for the chat. And sometimes, the chat is funny. We’ve seen brawls break out over bolts and grades. Stoke-spangled reviews—and ho-hum appraisals of testpieces. Crusty cameos. Sketchy ethics. And non-sequiturs that add to the lore of the classics. 　　Here are 19 of the funniest Mountain Project comments...

　　On a late fall camping trip, my family and I were headed to Picacho State Recreation Area. The remote desert park is situated along a scenic 9-mile stretch of the Colorado River on the border of Mexico near Yuma, Arizona. We were trying to get there before sunset, going as fast as the 18-mile dirt road would let us. We...

　　It’s not that I don’t believe the research showing that exercising consistently without recovery time can lead to decreased strength gains and possibly injury. It’s just that finding the time to take these breaks is hard. Needless to say, when a product that promised multitasking recovery benefits rolled across my desk, I was intrigued, especially since it came from a...

　　If a tire makes you happy, were happy. Its a simple sentiment, but its one I like. Its not limited to Pirellis on-track performance tires, and the companys exec says it applies to even its boring road car tires. And, of course, its latest, the Pirelli Scorpion XTM, is the first tire meant for buyers who plan on spending a...

　　Most turkey hunters overlook one of the most effective tools: the kayak. When properly rigged, a kayak becomes your stealthy, silent partner, getting you closer to wary gobblers, accessing untouched terrain, and helping you outpace other hunters. A smart kayak setup doesnt just boost your odds; it transforms your entire turkey hunting experience. 　　My a-ha moment came early one spring...

　　Forget everything you think you know about Segway … and e-bikes for that matter. The brand that invented an entirely new category of personal transportation at the turn of millennium has turned its attention from industry-defining mobility ideas to industry-disrupting innovations. 　　Launched in 2024, the Segway Xyber presents a wild take on the typical e-bike design, appealing more to the thrill...

　　It’s fun to imagine an apocalyptic scenario, and purchase the kind of neon green tomahawk you think will help you defeat zombie hoards. (Spoiler alert: it won’t.) But when it comes to preparing for more likely situations—say, an emergency while traveling—many of us are guilty of being caught flat-footed. 　　I get it. With severely limited space in carry-on luggage, plus...

　　While hiking a snowy mesa in Flagstaff, Arizona, I noticed my dog was limping. Every few steps, she’d tuck up her back paw and hop on three legs. We stopped, and I knelt to inspect. There, piercing her paw pad, was a long cactus spine. Gently, I held her paw and pulled it straight out. I hadn’t noticed the hazard...

　　Dual-sport motorcycles are all about versatility. They’re fun on the street and capable in the dirt. And they can even pull budget-friendly adventure duty with a few choice modifications. 　　With that being said, the dual-sport genre can be a tough one to define. On one end, you’ve got mild-mannered and uber-reliable staples like the Honda CRF300L. While on the other,...

　　You’re lucky if you show up to a foot or more of blower powder, blanketing the jagged peaks and tumbling glaciers around Chamonix. So I didn’t squander the opportunity. I pushed my jet-lagged body into the backcountry to bounce and slice through the powder lap after lap, stopping only to gape at my surroundings.  　　But even in this Eden of...

　　In a groundbreaking leap reminiscent of Jurassic Park, scientists have successfully revived the dire wolf, an apex predator that vanished nearly 13,000 years ago. 　　The revival project, spearheaded by startup company Colossal Bioscience, utilized advanced DNA editing techniques. By sequencing ancient DNA samples recovered from fossils preserved in tar pits, researchers reconstructed a complete genome of the dire wolf, closely...

　　Think of Simms ReCast as the catch-and-release of high-quality fishing gear. You might love your gear for a bit, but passing it on to a fellow angler boosts your karma points. Rather than tossing aside gear that still has several seasons of life, Simms says, it wanted to create a peer-to-peer marketplace to rehome that gear. 　　By making our products...
