An icy wind stings my cheeks as I sprint from my warm Subaru to the front porch of a strangers home in my suburban neighborhood. I look between the milk delivery box and a patio chair and locate my prize, wrapped in a plastic grocery bag. 　　Back in my car, I pull up my phone, open Venmo, and send $30 to...

　　This year, our family officially entered the sports circuit when my daughter made a youth traveling team. We live in a small, remote town in the Colorado Rockies. The nearest away games are at least 1.5 hours away. Let’s just say, I got a crash course in what to pack for soccer essentials pretty fast! 　　Fortunately, the more seasoned parents...

　　Judging by the historic winter storm currently battering the southern U.S. —its pretty clear weve still got plenty of snow and ice ahead of us. But that aint no thang for us GearJunkies. After all, what self-respecting outdoorsman (or woman) doesnt view tough conditions as a challenge? 　　You wont have much fun in freezing temperatures without some decent gear, though....

　　All season, Ive been experimenting with how much I can fit in my San Util Design Off Piste Ski Touring Pack. I havent found a realistic limit yet.

　　Picture this: towering pine trees dusted with snow, poconip (frozen fog) rolling in over alpine lakes, and mountain peaks glistening in the winter sun.

But spending every weekend vacuuming out your vehicle isn’t anyone’s idea of a good time. Enter: the need for a seat protector. 　　From Ruffwear, the Dirtbag Dog Car Seat Cover was built for your messy four-legged bestie....

　　The outdoors have a way of delivering to us our soulmates. Sometimes, that’s a romantic partner, discovered on a mountain-summit meet-cute. Other times, it’s the fiercely loyal friends we never knew we needed. Maybe you’ve noticed the same—that your best friends are your adventure friends. There’s a reason for that dynamic. The outdoors draws out the best and the worst...

　　Going with the flow is an essential part of any yoga class. But being able to move quickly through poses is less important than making sure to have proper alignment in each pose.

While nearly 85 percent of Americans over 20 years old eat breakfast, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), everyone approaches the first meal of the day differently, including the timing...

　　I recently saw a Reddit thread that started with a deceptively simple question. On the subreddit r/bitcheswithtaste, redditor u/jpcitybit asks: “Are we wearing Uggs this year? I wanted Uggs so badly in high school and never had them but after seeing them come back last year I am considering getting a pair for this fall. Are they back in style...

　　We rolled to a stop at the T-intersection with our blinkers on. My riding partner, Dylan Drown, the mastermind behind the dual-terrain electric Terra Prime motorcycles we were riding, turned to me and indicated that I should switch to mode 3 before we turned onto the country frontage road. 　　Careful, though. Its going to be a lot faster, he warned...
