Its a little too easy (at least for me) to dismiss alarming weather events. But theres no denying that much of the country is about to get hit by a serious winter storm — and nothing reminds you of the importance of solid gear like a bone-chilling freeze. 　　With several months of winter still ahead for many of us, its...

　　Until a few months ago, Id never heard of Saddleback Leather Company. But today, Im looking at a $760 leather duffel bag that appears to be from another century. The Deep Pocket Leather Duffle shines with heavy hardware and sturdy stitching that could have been inspired by the 1800s. 　　And frankly, barring some sort of over-the-top disaster, I expect itll...

　　In the waning light on a chilly Wyoming evening, I lowered my head to the ZEISS Conquest V4 4-16X44 Riflescope, took aim at a distant target, and fired. GONG! Thats a hit. I adjusted my elevation turret more and took aim at a 600-yard target. GONG! Another hit. 　　I smiled and got up from my seat. After only a few...

　　It was a ski day that started before the sun was up due to an oncoming storm. I chose Helly Hansen’s Emiko Shell Pants, knowing they’d be able to protect me from whatever dropped from above, be it snow or, more likely this early in the season, rain. Sure enough, when the downpour started with frigid wind, my legs were protected as I...

　　Plenty of Americans still might not even recognize an Ineos when they see one on the road. But the off-road and overlanding crowd should know this upstart automaker well by now. 　　Surprisingly, Ineos can report with pride that after two model years on sale, over 12,000 vehicles now roam the United States. That’s out of 30,000 sold globally after originally...

　　In the last year, the knife industry faced some challenges that could have had some long-lasting impacts. From the closing of a primary U.S. steel supplier to threats of tariffs that disrupted supply chains and pricing, 2025 was, in certain regards, a hot mess. 　　During that time of unrest, rumors of a new super-premium knife steel started to float around...

　　Though my girlfriend sat right in front of me on a wide patch of rock in Stone Mountain Park, her vision of the world soared high above. Id rigged up this fancy new drone on a sunny December day in Georgia, and without any tutorial, handed her the controls and goggles. 　　As the drone flew hundreds of feet above us,...

　　Cold plunge and chiller combos often cost $3,000 or more, which is why durability should be a factor when considering one. Often, a chiller will go out, or the tub itself can crack or degrade over time, especially when exposed to the elements. A cracked tub can throw that $3,000 investment right out the window. Which is why, when I...

　　My family eats a ton of ground meat. Its so versatile, and it cooks up quickly, a big plus while trying to keep up with two kids. We use it to make everything from tacos and spaghetti to burgers, sausages, and rice bowls. As a hunter, I harvest our meat myself, and, with our love for ground meat, a significant...

　　While sitting on the boat ramp at the end of an eventful day on the water, my snobby fly-fishing buddy turned to me and said, Let me see that thing. The thing he was referring to was the Shimano Compre Lite Spinning Rod in my hand. I handed it over and watched with a smirk as he guiltily flipped the...

　　Skinning up Cameron Pass, the cool crisp air blew through the trees, and snow floated above me. The new Black Diamond Dawn Patrol Pack fit seamlessly on my back as I cut a skin track up the mountain. The pack carried all my gear, clothes, and food — it was almost an extension of myself, moving freely with me as...

　　Since its inception in 2020, Colorado Parks and Wildlifes (CPW) gray wolf reintroduction program has been a hotbed of controversy. The plan to source wolves from Oregon and Canada and release them in Colorado has sparked criticism from livestock owners, as well as a split with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). 　　Now, the program has hit a major...
