Palatial Camp Tent Inflates in Minutes: Rise Outdoor AirNEST Review
  Rain was imminent, maybe 20 minutes away, and Id just arrived at camp. With no time to waste, I upended the stuff sack and unrolled the tent — not a single pole or stake to be found.   Instead, I plugged in an automatic air pump, flipped the switch, and as it whirred to life, I watched my Rise AirNEST tent...
African Surfing and the Ocean as a Source of Joy, with Professor Kevin Dawson
  The blissed out, swell chasing surfer with a single-minded focus on the next great ride is a pervasive outdoorsy archetype that’s completely at odds with the lived experience of many surfers.
