Wild Animals Taught Me to… Run!
  Singer-songwriter David Lindes found his way into running with help from the most unexpected teacher: a bull moose. Growing up in Guatemala David had learned to ignore his body. Thanks to beatings by his adults, his body was a source of pain, and not much else. So he didn’t play sports, he didn’t dance, he found out later he wasn’t...
Taking Wind Out of the Equation: Ozonics HR500 Ozone Generator Review
  I can totally understand why many hunters won’t look twice at an ozone generator machine for scent control. Admittedly, I was also skeptical of the claims associated with the products. The hunting industry doesn’t exactly have the best reputation for products they call “game changers, especially for whitetails.   Do you remember “Gum-o-Flage,” the “Acorn Kruncher,” or the “Deerview Mirror?” There’s...
The Darkness That Blew My Mind
  The darkness has a name, but I don’t know that yet. All I know is that I’m scared.   I’m sitting with my feet in a creek in the scrubby mountains southeast of Ashland, Oregon, watching how the water spills over gray rocks into a shallow pool. All day long, I’ve been alone and unplugged, doing my best to savor moments...
Here’s Why Overlanders (and Tailgaters) Splurge on REDARC
  Life on the road can be demanding. Long hauls, bad weather, desolate stretches — you never know what’s going to pop up. But regardless of where the road (or offroad) might take you — theres one companion every road warrior needs: the REDARC Mobile Power System.   Whether youre navigating the untamed wilderness, transforming a van into a home on wheels,...
KEEN Targhee IV Test: More Sustainable, Comfortable, and a Lifetime Guarantee
  The seemingly inevitable splitting of the midsole and upper, or outsole and midsole, has been the death of countless hiking boots. With the Targhee IV, KEEN claims to have found a cure for this delamination.   KEEN sent me a test pair of early-production Targhee IV boots, which launch on April 4 in the U.S. So, I laced them up and...
8 Years and Counting: 1620 Work Pants Are Tough as Nails
  When it comes to work pants, everyone eventually starts wearing the same things. At my last engineering job, one guy started wearing Duluth Trading Fire Hose Work Pants —within a month, everyone else was, too.   Working in a demanding environment, you want a pair of pants that keep up with the abuse you put on them, day in and day...

The Best Hand Warmers of 2024
  If you plan to spend time outdoors this winter, only the best hand warmers should make your gear list. With better run time, heat retention, settings, and reusability, hand warmers have evolved from simple single-use pocket warmers to rechargeable electric warmth machines.   Our extremities are the first part of the body to suffer from cold-related discomfort. Cold hands are actually...
Lolo Racks 6-Bike Rack Review: A Sturdy Rack Ready for All Bikes and Adventures
  Lolo Racks, launched in the Pacific Northwest in 2016, first caught my attention when I spotted one at a trailhead in Bend, Ore. The innovative vertical hitch bike rack design, capable of carrying four or six bikes, intrigued me.   Since then, Ive tested various rack styles, both horizontal and vertical, but none seemed to meet all the criteria for our...
You Shouldn’t Be Able to Pay With Cash OR a Card at a National Park. They Should Be Free.
  In January 2020, Park Spring National Monument in Arizona became the first National Park System site to go cashless. In the years since, roughly 30 destinations made the switch to card or mobile-only payments, including big names like Zion, Yosemite, and the Grand Canyon. This shift was likely insignificant for the 60 percent of Americans who report using cash for few to...
Old Town Releases Limited-Edition Fire Tiger Color Scheme
  If Fire Tiger lures catch the big fish, why not slap it on a kayak? Thats exactly what Old Town Watercraft did.   Theres something very fitting about seeing one of the most popular lure color combos on a kayak. Not only is it a rad combo that consistently sees success at the end of the line, but its just a...
Ford EV Explorer Sets Around-the-World Record, but Won’t Retail in US
  Americas first major car company has finally made an electric vehicle that can traverse the globe. Unfortunately, only Europeans will get to buy it.   The all-electric Ford Explorer finished a circumnavigation of the planet on Tuesday, arriving in Nice, France, after covering over 18,640 miles without using a drop of gas. Ford said that the cars driver, Lexie Alford, became...
