  Highly versatile 4-season pole with accessory-ready grips; Whippet compatible

  The Alpine Carbon Cork WR (Whippet-Ready) is a highly versatile, fully-adjustable four-season pole that’s accessory ready. From alpine backpacking routes, mid-winter expeditions and far-flung treks, this trekking pole features Whippet Ready technology, allowing you to connect accessories, such as the Universal 1/4-20 Adapter, a Whippet, Alpine Whippet or the Distance UL Tent directly to the grip-top. Three 100% carbon fiber shafts offer quick and secure length changes thanks to FlickLock Pro adjustability—which features a streamlined, forged aluminum design that’s lighter and easier to use. The comfortable wicking cork grip has a redesigned soft touch ergonomic grip top for better comfort and offers security around the wrist when tackling steep terrain. A 38mm basket and interchangeable Tech Tips allow you to switch between carbide and rubber tips to account for changing trail surfaces.

  All accessories sold separately.

Is It Safe to Travel to Mexico? I Think: Yes. Here’s What to Know.
  I could spend a lifetime exploring Mexico and probably still not scratch the surface of all the country has to offer. It’s long been one of my favorite getaways when I need a quick surf and sun fix or a dose of culture. A few years ago, my friend Val and I plotted a road trip around Baja California Sur....
Grit, Grace, and Gunpowder: The 2025 Wild Women’s Rendezvous
  If youve ever assumed the wilderness was strictly a mans world, consider yourself officially corrected. This June, Idaho’s rugged backcountry will host a crew of wilderness-savvy women wholl turn the idea of “ladies’ night” upside down, shake it hard, and toss it into the campfire.   I joined the Wild Womens Rendezvous in 2024, expecting just another outdoor retreat. Instead, I...

When Did Overlanding Rigs Get Out of Control?
  Overlanding seems to have become all about creating the most ultra-luxurious or ultra-accessorized rig possible. If I’ve learned one thing in all the camper and trailer testing I’ve done, it’s simpler is better. Less stuff to break means more time having fun outside.   People spend stupid amounts of money building adventure rigs, and pour tons of their own time and...
Nissan Makes a Cultural Culinary Cutter: Z NISMO Precision Sushi Knife
