　　Words Photos by William Woodward 　　 　　Volcano skiing is a well-honored pastime in Washington. While our most famous volcanoes live in plain sight, like Mt. Rainier and Mt. Baker, Glacier Peak often remains hidden but for a few high points on public roads. The fifth volcano highest in the state, Glacier is second only to Mt. Rainier in climbing prominence,...

　　One of the best parts of mountain running is when you get to walk. I’m not calling mountain running a gentle stroll, but generally, you’re not full-on, maxed-out sprinting hour after hour up an enormous rock pile. The running part is great, but the main draw is that rock pile and the ones around it. Just being, and moving, in...

Stretching 3,000 km from Cape Reinga, at the top of the North Island, to Bluff, at the bottom of the South Island, the TA is defined by its challenging terrain, unpredictable weather and navigational obstacles, and just may be the toughest of the world’s major...

Only 10 hours to go till I arrive in the Yukon Territory. 　　Despite being a full-time Alaskan I always look forward to my time in the Yukon— “North of 60” as many Yukoners call it—referring...

　　Words and Photos by Laura Lancaster 　　 　　“I knew you were coming.” 　　I had been dreading this stretch of the Oregon Coast Trail that ran between Manzanita and Tillamook since we started weekend thru-hiking (or section-hiking) it in chunks back in 2017. Heading south from Tillamook, the OCT follows Highway 101—the main artery for the Oregon Coast—for over 10 miles...

　　Packrafting opened up a world of adventure for me. Being from the desert, the idea of hauling a raft deep into the wilderness was fairly novel. But when photographer Jacob Moon and his wife Natasha invited me to go packrafting on the South Fork of the Flathead, one of the world’s premier rivers, I couldn’t say no. 　　 　　Photo by...

He was joined by alpinists Mark Richey, 61; expedition leader Graham Zimmerman, 33; and Chris Wright, 36. In an endeavor that was uncertain right to the last moment,...

　　In August of 2019, my friend Kirk and I fulfilled a childhood dream, paddling the Hudson River from source to sea. Growing up, my friends and I would explore my small hometown and go as far as we could get before making it home for dinner. We would go paddling, swimming, cliff jumping, hiking and occasionally jump trains when they...

　　I’ve joined friends and photographers, Dan and Janine Patitucci for a ten-day Himalayan adventure trek across the Gangotri Glacier organized by Ruck Sack Tours. This glacier is one of the main sources of the Ganges River, and one of the largest in the Himalaya. However, it is rapidly receding. We scramble over rock and rubble where ice once stretched to...

　　It never fails to snow a solid 8 inches the night before my first day of turkey hunting in Colorado. As usual, 2025 delivered a heavy blanket of snow to my turkey camp, not the conditions Id expected for testing the uninsulated, lightweight Crispi Lapponia III hunting boot. 　　But there I was, awake in the dark at the tail end...

　　Thru-hikers and knife collectors take note: This pocketknife collaboration has a small run, and all proceeds support a good cause. 　　Case Knives collaborated with the Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC) to create a knife that honors the organization’s 100th anniversary. The Limited Edition A.T. Diamond Case Trapper Knife pays homage to the trail on its handle with the iconic A.T. diamond...

　　When you’re covering serious miles in unpredictable terrain, your boots aren’t just footwear; they’re gear. And like any gear, they must perform, hold up over time, and keep you comfortable. 　　I wore the KUIU HD Mud Boots through an entire hunting season in Montana, putting them to the test across creeks, rocky ridgelines, deep snow, and muddy fields. After more...

　　If you’re going to invest in a premium hunting knife, you should consider its overall utility. If you can carry it to work and to the backcountry, you’ll stomach that initial sticker shock a bit better than you might a highly specialized knife. 　　This is especially true for hunters who need a rugged hunting knife but can’t justify spending a...

　　The world of knives continues to evolve and change to meet modern demands, inviting new designs and materials along the way. Perhaps coincidentally, a growing trend sees some great knives coming from brands that aren’t specifically knife manufacturers. 　　Where once customers only sought out and celebrated established knife brands, the industry now sees a movement toward brands that focus on...

　　The U.S. Department of the Interior just expanded public hunting and fishing opportunities across more than 87,000 acres in 11 states. The changes apply to areas in Alabama, California, Idaho, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, North Carolina, Texas, and Washington. 　　According to the official release, the move adds or expands access at 16 national wildlife refuges and one national fish...

　　As someone who has carried a knife with him since he was a kid, I have always struggled with the limitations of some knives. I recognize that knives are used for cutting and slicing. However, we’ve all got a bit of neanderthal in us, and sometimes you just want to chop and pry with a knife. 　　Recognizing that we’re all...

　　Witnesses report a Montana Army National Guard UH-60L Blackhawk helicopter landed without prior notice on private property in the Crazy Mountains near Melville, Mont., on May 4, 2025. The crew reportedly collected elk antlers during the unauthorized landing, which triggered investigations by state wildlife officials and the National Guard, according to The Livingston Enterprise and other local news outlets. 　　Neighboring...

　　I avoid using the phrase functional art in my knife reviews because its unspecific and potentially misleading. But I am hard-pressed to classify designer Darriel Caston’s knives any other way. Everything he churns out is as wonderful to look at as it is to use. 　　In 2024, CRKT released both the Minimal X and the limited-edition Mbombo, both based off...
