Watch: ‘The Hunting Public’ Calls for Senate to Halt Public Land Selloff
  In a video titled “MASSIVE Public Land Sale in U.S. Senate!!!”, The Hunting Public’s Aaron Warbritton delivers a direct message to hunters, anglers, and anyone who uses public land: now is the time to act.   The video focuses on a proposal in the U.S. Senate that would authorize the sale of 3 million acres of federal public land. Warbritton clearly...
Flatwater-Friendly, Whitewater-Tough: Liquidlogic Remix XP Kayak Review
  “You want to Rochambeau on it?” My paddling partner and I were scouting the first of the S-Bend rapids on Washington’s Skagit River, and while not the rowdiest water, my kayak was full to the brim with overnight camping kit, making for an unknown element in how it would fare.   Carrying all this kit in a whitewater boat is a...
The Volunteers Who Could Save Your Life
  When Hurricane Helene hit western North Carolina in the fall of 2024, the damage was devastating. But while most people sought safety, members of the Linville-Central Rescue Squad headed straight into the disaster zone. Technical training and long hours of practice enabled the all-volunteer team to provide critical response and support during the area’s catastrophic flooding.   The event was unprecedented,...
Video: Smart Layering Kept Me Cozy at Mount Everest Base Camp
  The trek to Mount Everest Base Camp is the ideal setting to test gear, due to the rugged terrain, tough living conditions, and massive fluctuations in temperature. In May, our reporter Ben Ayers completed the 11-day hike to Mount Everest Base Camp, before spending a month living at 17,500 feet.   During his reporting mission, Ayers tested a wide range of...
The Latest National Park Service Order: No “Negative” Information About American History
  New messaging posted at U.S. national parks and historic sites is requesting that park visitors report “any signs or other information that are negative about either past or living Americans.”   According to The Colorado Sun, signs with the directive were posted on Friday, June 13, at the Amache National Historic Site in eastern Colorado.

Video: This Puffy Jacket Made Mount Everest Base Camp Feel Like Home
  Conditions can be inhospitable at the foot of Mount Everest. Swirling winds blow snow and debris, overnight temperatures drop below zero degrees Fahrenheit, and the midday sun will burn uncovered skin and gear.   Our Everest correspondent, Ben Ayers, recently spent a month living at the Mount Everest Base Camp. During that time, Ayers tested a long list of gear, from...
‘A Proper Loop’: Athlete Takes On 205-Mile Tor de Géants Despite Threats, Doubts, and Injuries
  François DHaene is used to running 100-mile races through ultra-challenging mountain environments. But when he took on the Tor des Géants in Chamonix in 2024, he had no real idea what he was getting into.   He overcame injuries, trained harder than he imagined, and set out to win one of the most grueling races in the European Alps. Not only...
These Tripods Stand Above the Rest: Peak Design Pro Tripod Review
  Ive used a lot of janky camera tripods in my life. Some were cheapos from Walmart, others were old and inherited, and a few were from the CU Boulder equipment rental room. Ive also used some really nice tripods on shoots using Red Cameras in Alaskas Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) and elsewhere. But as soon as I got hold...

2026 Nissan Leaf Grows From an Entirely New Tree
  The 2026 Nissan Leaf has gone through a massive transformation. A real leaf might turn from green to red in the fall, but the Nissan Leaf has been transformed from a quirky hatchback into a sleek crossover with Ariya-like styling.   Its not exactly rugged, but it should be a lot more appealing to the large number of buyers looking for...
The Best Rubber Hunting Boots of 2025
  For hunters who find themselves stationary hunting in the cold or tromping through creeks and flooded fields, rubber hunting boots are a must. Sure, you can get by with your standard hunting boots, but youll quickly find yourself with frozen digits. Ive hunted whitetails in December in mountain hunting boots, which were far from ideal. With minimal insulation, it became...
Cushion for Long Days — Just Stick to the Trail: Nike Wildhorse 10 Review
  I grew up running track and cross-country competitively in southern Colorado, when there were no trail running shoes available anywhere, even at specialty running stores. The luxury of choice simply didn’t exist for trail runners back then. As a kid, I ran the trails in daily trainers meant for the road.   I can recall a time when the Salomon XA...
