When You Need Real Containment, Not Wire & Wishes: Impact Dog Crates Review
  Impact Dog Crates showed up in my life for a pretty simple reason. I needed a crate I could trust on the road, that did not eat up my whole truck bed when I was not using it.   My bird dogs and I get out for roosters when we can, and they often come along for long cross-country drives. They...
The Best Hunting Tents of 2025
  You know hunting season has arrived when you wake up and feel the first brisk morning chill of the year. Hunters across the nation begin preparation for not only chasing their hunting dreams but also spending more than a fair share of nights out in the hills. And while some have campers to bring along, most folks are breaking out...

Wisconsin’s ‘Snowiest Resort’ Declares Bankruptcy After Second Snowless Season
  Snowless winters are a bummer for skiers and riders, but for resort operators, they can spell disaster. Wisconsins Whitecap Mountains Resort (WMR) is learning that harsh truth firsthand. On Nov. 19, the resort, once named the snowiest ski area in the state, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection after two consecutive low-snowfall seasons torpedoed its revenue.   During the 2022/23 ski...
Essential Survival: How to Avoid Bears
  Bear encounters are not uncommon in the backcountry. Attacks, fortunately, are somewhat rare but can happen when humans encroach into habitats where bears roam. Make yourself big, yell, curl into a ball … most of the suggestions for handling a bear encounter are Hail Mary tips meant for the last resort. Your best option is to avoid Smokey altogether.   Here are...
$15 Million Bounty for Olympic Snowboarder Turned ‘Drug Kingpin’
  A former Olympian from Canada has now become one of the most wanted men by U.S. prosecutors. Ryan Wedding, 44, a snowboarder on Canadas Olympic team in 2002, ran a multibillion-dollar criminal enterprise for years, according to the FBI.   He faced major drug charges and was placed on the FBIs 10 Most Wanted list. Last week, federal prosecutors added new...
Burly Belt Could Replace Your Running Vest: Raide Research LF 2L
  I was halfway into my 4-hour mountain run in Alaska’s Chugach Range as I crested the next ridge on my route. My run had taken me from sea level, up a 4,000-foot climb in 2 miles, and off-trail into an alpine valley, where another ridgeline, summit, and multi-thousand-foot descent separated me from completing my loop. It was September, and while...
How One Deer Hunt Changed My Perspective on Death, Empathy, and Food
  I still haven’t forgotten the eyes of the first animal I ever killed.   When I was 10 years old, my dad took me dove hunting near our home in South Texas. This seemed a natural evolution, I imagine, given that he’d shown my brother and me how to handle his .370 rifle and 20-gauge shotgun.   I took deep satisfaction from...

  The outdoor industry has been grappling with its use of PFAS — so-called forever chemicals — for years.

At 13 Ounces, Active Midlayer Offers Surprising Warmth: Arc’teryx Atom Hoody Review
  A handful of items live in my backcountry ski pack all season, regardless of where Im going or how long I ski. The list includes a waterproof and windproof shell, Voile ski straps, an avi shovel and probe, a pair of glacier goggles, a bar of skin wax, a hand tool, and, as of last spring, I added the Arcteryx...
