Description

  Burly, lightweight pack for quick overnights or big days out

  The Kestrel 38 might be smaller than its bigger sibling, but it’s just as capable. Perfect for quick overnights or big days out that don’t call for quite as much room, the Kestrel is a workhorse built with rugged fabrics that withstand punishing days in the backcountry–and proudly wears the scars. Ideal for bushwhacking through dense woods or for outdoor professionals who need a pack they can depend on in any condition. The adjustable backpanel helps you dial in your perfect fit and AirScape ventilation makes hot days more bearable. More convenient features include dual ice tool attachment points, Stow-on-the-Go trekking pole carry, an integrated and removable raincover for wet days, side and front mesh pockets for storing gear, and an external reservoir sleeve for easy access.

  WARNING for California customers: This product can expose you to chemicals including dimethylformamide, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer. For more information, go to oehha.ca.gov/proposition-65/about-proposition-65

The Volunteers Who Could Save Your Life
  When Hurricane Helene hit western North Carolina in the fall of 2024, the damage was devastating. But while most people sought safety, members of the Linville-Central Rescue Squad headed straight into the disaster zone. Technical training and long hours of practice enabled the all-volunteer team to provide critical response and support during the area’s catastrophic flooding.   The event was unprecedented,...

Cushion for Long Days — Just Stick to the Trail: Nike Wildhorse 10 Review
  I grew up running track and cross-country competitively in southern Colorado, when there were no trail running shoes available anywhere, even at specialty running stores. The luxury of choice simply didn’t exist for trail runners back then. As a kid, I ran the trails in daily trainers meant for the road.   I can recall a time when the Salomon XA...
These Tripods Stand Above the Rest: Peak Design Pro Tripod Review
  Ive used a lot of janky camera tripods in my life. Some were cheapos from Walmart, others were old and inherited, and a few were from the CU Boulder equipment rental room. Ive also used some really nice tripods on shoots using Red Cameras in Alaskas Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) and elsewhere. But as soon as I got hold...
‘A Proper Loop’: Athlete Takes On 205-Mile Tor de Géants Despite Threats, Doubts, and Injuries
  François DHaene is used to running 100-mile races through ultra-challenging mountain environments. But when he took on the Tor des Géants in Chamonix in 2024, he had no real idea what he was getting into.   He overcame injuries, trained harder than he imagined, and set out to win one of the most grueling races in the European Alps. Not only...
The First Corvette ‘Hypercar’: Introducing the 2026 ZR1X
  When Chevrolet relaunched the Stingray back in 2020, it pushed into entirely new territory with a first-ever mid-engine version of “America’s sports car,” pouring out as much as 495 horsepower. Of course, anyone who’s followed the history of the ‘Vette over the decades is well aware that the bowtie brand routinely rolls out a series of ever more exotic machines....

  In a video titled “MASSIVE Public Land Sale in U.S. Senate!!!”, The Hunting Public’s Aaron Warbritton delivers a direct message to hunters, anglers, and anyone who uses public land: now is the time to act.   The video focuses on a proposal in the U.S. Senate that would authorize the sale of 3 million acres of federal public land. Warbritton clearly...
The Most Remote Places to Stay on Earth That Are Worth the Trek
  Profound silence on the tundra in sub-Arctic Canada, the gunshot of a calving glacier heard from a tent in Greenlands backcountry, the reflection of snow-crowned peaks in a mirrored lagoon in the high plateau of Bolivia. Some of my most awe-inspiring travel experiences have been in the vast wilderness, where I felt humbled by the scale of time and space...
The Best Rubber Hunting Boots of 2025
  For hunters who find themselves stationary hunting in the cold or tromping through creeks and flooded fields, rubber hunting boots are a must. Sure, you can get by with your standard hunting boots, but youll quickly find yourself with frozen digits. Ive hunted whitetails in December in mountain hunting boots, which were far from ideal. With minimal insulation, it became...
Gotta Have ‘Faith’: The Gear Nike Built to Take Down Women’s Sub-4-Minute Mile
  About a year removed from the 2024 Olympics, elite running will return to Paris on June 26 in the form of Breaking 4, Kenyan runner Faith Kipyegons attempt to set the worlds first womens sub-4-minute mile.   The attempt doesn’t come from nowhere. A February 2025 study in the Journal of Applied Physiology predicted a women’s sub-4 mile within the next...
2026 Nissan Leaf Grows From an Entirely New Tree
  The 2026 Nissan Leaf has gone through a massive transformation. A real leaf might turn from green to red in the fall, but the Nissan Leaf has been transformed from a quirky hatchback into a sleek crossover with Ariya-like styling.   Its not exactly rugged, but it should be a lot more appealing to the large number of buyers looking for...
Video: Smart Layering Kept Me Cozy at Mount Everest Base Camp
  The trek to Mount Everest Base Camp is the ideal setting to test gear, due to the rugged terrain, tough living conditions, and massive fluctuations in temperature. In May, our reporter Ben Ayers completed the 11-day hike to Mount Everest Base Camp, before spending a month living at 17,500 feet.   During his reporting mission, Ayers tested a wide range of...
