The Only Hunting Knife You’ll Ever Need: Benchmade Saddle Mountain Skinner Review
  It finally happened. After a decade of telling people I would just fill my tag on opening day of archery and be done with it, the bull screamed into my bugles an hour into the opener. It dropped 75 yards away after my arrow hit the mark.   But as any hunter worth their quiver will tell you, putting an elk...

Analog Smartwatch, Souped-Up Tote Bag, Velcro Hiking Shoes, and More Emerging Gear
  Innovation can come when people rethink the most basic elements of design, and thats certainly the case with this weeks gear drops. BOTE just dropped some seriously lightweight inflatable kayaks, and Garmin added an AMOLED screen to its analog Instinct Crossover series. And, Japanese brand TENŌRE bucked conventional wisdom on wetsuits, moving the zipper from the back to the neckline...
Maximum Effort: CJRB Maximal Is a Fantastic Outdoor Taskmaster
  Who better to design a knife than someone who’s been exposed to them all? For many, David C. Andersen is a household name when it comes to knives. The face of KnifeCenter’s YouTube page, Andersen has a massive amount of knowledge and opinions that he wont shy from sharing.   Culled from his wealth of knowledge and the traits he looks...
Rugged Truck Camper Ready for Off-Grid Adventures: AT Overland Aterra XLF
  The AT Overland Aterra XL Flatbed (XLF) Camper isn’t built for campgrounds or RV resorts. It’s an overland truck camper designed for off-grid adventures away from the crowds.   AT Overland’s philosophy has always been clear: build it light, build it strong, and make sure every system works in the real world. Since I first reported on the Aterra XLF back...
First Drive Review of World’s First Class A Electric Motorhome With Range Extender: 2026 Entegra Coach Embark
  It’s a rather odd sensation rolling into the throttle of the motorhome you’re driving and not hearing a sound from the engine, or feeling the transmission shift up gears while merging into fast-moving highway traffic. It’s also refreshing to feel throttle response more akin to the performance of a basic gas-powered family car than a 22,000-pound luxury RV. And to...

NNormal Kjerag 2.0 Review: Mountain Tough Yet Feather Light
  The first time I wore the NNormal Kjerag 2.0, I hiked straight into the Holy Cross Wilderness on a mission to reach a string of alpine lakes with no trail leading the way. Within minutes, I was crawling over downed trees, clawing up rock ledges, and thrashing through brush so dense it snagged my arms and legs. I figured the...
Appalachian Trail FKT: Jeff ‘Legend’ Garmire Overcomes Two Left Shoes to Set Fastest Self-Supported Time
  Jeff Legend Garmire has accumulated a vast resume of fastest known times — including the Arizona, John Muir, Continental Divide, and Colorado trails — but he was missing the FKT for Americas first thru-hike.   But on Sept. 21, after 45 days on trail, Garmire set a new self-supported, fastest known time (FKT) going southbound on the Appalachian Trail (AT).   Garmire,...

How to Level Up Your Hunting Game This Season
  Every hunter talks about luck. A buck just happened to step out. A bull walked right into range. Those moments make the stories, but luck alone doesn’t fill freezers. Consistent success is built months before you climb into a stand or set foot on a ridge. The work happens in the scouting, in the planning, and in the way you...
Flyweight EDC Earns Extra Style Points: Pepperwool Merino MM Review
  More knives don’t necessarily mean better knives. Breaking through a market this crowded is tough, especially among lightweight, pocket-friendly EDC blades. Theres no shortage of very light and small knives, but many wind up either “grandpa” knives or over-the-top tacticool knives.   But Pepperwool’s Merino MM, the second knife from the nascent brand and its first full production model, is just...
