It had just turned from dusk to dark on Minnesotas frozen Lake Mill Lacs, and the temperature was plummeting. Somewhere around -10 degrees Fahrenheit, a 30mph wind made it feel much colder. My friends and I hustled to break down our ice fishing shelter after a long day on the ice, and time was of the essence as fingers and...

　　A team of eight Sherpa climbers and a small camp staff left Namche Bazaar yesterday for Mount Everest Base Camp. The Sherpas task is to find a route through the maze of seracs (hanging ice blocks) and crevasses from the broken Khumbu Glacier. They have been doing this every spring since 1993. This team is called the Icefall Doctors. 　　Every...

　　Every time I’ve met with Norda founder Nick Martire, it’s as if I’m Mark Cuban and we’re on the set of Shark Tank. The pitch is always passionate and intense. He is an entrepreneur straight out of central casting; each interaction is superlative-laden and memorable. 　　Norda is a darling of the trail running scene, but there isn’t a line of...

　　When Scott Bauwens’s sister-in-law was first diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia a few years ago, he set a simple goal. He’d fundraise for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS), but only for a single campaign. Then, duty done, he’d go back to business as usual. But during that first campaign, something happened that changed his life. He started to meet...

　　From hero to zero? Elon Musk has long had a loyal following, but where the billionaire was once hailed for his David versus Goliath assault on the established automotive order, many now fault the South African entrepreneur for his political turn to the far right — and, in particular, his controversial role as head of the Trump administration’s Department of...

　　Most fishing pack manufacturers have been following the same pattern with new products: increased technology and increased prices. In the past, Umpqua Feather Merchants was one of the leaders in this trend. Its prior line of packs, the Zs2, was one of the most feature-rich, advanced packs on the market. The new Northfork Chest Pack bucks the trend and offers...

　　I have a secret fascination with the Mount Washington Observatory (MWOB), the weather station situated atop Americas windiest mountain. 　　Every few days, the scientists living inside the MWOB publish an observation blog or an Instagram post about the extreme conditions on the 6,288-foot peak, and the photos or videos always boggle my mind. Plunging temperatures mixed with fog will occasionally...

　　In 2024, 1.3 million EVs were sold in the USA; globally, that number jumped to 17.1 million. It’s safe to say that EVs are no longer a novelty. I’d long said that when pickup trucks — often the bestselling vehicle type in the country — started being sold as fully electric, we’d know they had caught on. 　　Ford, GMC, Rivian, Tesla, and...

　　Last September, I attended From Field to Table, a wild game butchering course hosted by Outdoor Solutions, an all-in-one training and outfitter referral service for people who want to get started hunting. After conservation, the purpose of hunting is to put the healthiest, most sustainable, and ethically harvested meat on your dinner table. So when I got the chance to elevate...

　　A gondola car carrying eight people detached from its cable at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort in Golden, British Columbia, on March 10. According to witnesses, the Golden Eagle Express car fell about 10 feet after departing from the lower terminal at 9:20 a.m. No one was seriously injured, but passengers were trapped for several minutes, and the patrol manually evacuated every...

　　Here’s how bedtime in camp goes in your mind: After a long day exploring some beautiful, wild place, you settle in around the campfire, favorite beverage in hand. Your eyes get droopy as you watch the sun set and stars begin to blink on. Finally, you snuggle into your cozy sleeping bag, yawning once before dropping off to sleep immediately...
