What It’s Like to Look Through the Best Binoculars Ever Made
  “Dammit Wes,” a friend of mine shouted after I handed him my Swarovski binoculars for the first time.

The phrase the best gets overused in gear reviews, but that’s...

The Ultimate, Compact Tool for Clearing Deadfall on Your Local Trails
  It was a couple years ago, probably eightish miles up the Stuart Peak trail near my home in Missoula, Montana, when I first started thinking about it.
