　　When Black Diamond announced the Deploy Down 0.5 Pullover Hoody ($499) as the “lightest down jacket in the world,” I’ll admit I raised an eyebrow. At 5.2 ounces, it weighs less than a Clif Bar and is about half the weight of my long-trusted ultralight choice, the Mountain Hardwear Ghost Whisperer. I couldn’t help but think, how much warmth could...

I moved quickly downhill, though, confident in my boots ability to grip the terrain and support my ankles if I happened to misstep. 　　Id been using...

　　Taylor Jeffers and Johnny Miller call themselves magic miners. It’s hard to argue with them: The California couple make their living as full-time crystal hunters, traveling across the West, exploring otherworldly landscapes, and unearthing tiny gemlike fragments. It’s the kind of free-range life many of us dream about. But building it wasn’t easy. It took hard work—and a few key...
