　　This article originally appeared on The Inertia. 　　Humans have become pretty reliable for leaving trash all over the place.From the deepest reaches of the ocean to the highest points on Earth, human-made debris has made its way into every nook, cranny, recess, niche, alcove, cubbyhole, opening, and any other word that shows up when I Google “synonym for nook.” 　　One...

　　Corey at Viewpoint Campervans gave me this build order. It reflects a sequence tested repeatedly at the professional level. This isn’t Reddit theory or advice borrowed from an Instagram or YouTube “van lifer.” It’s a sequence refined in a professional shop environment, where mistakes cost real time and real money. 　　You don’t need to be a carpenter or electrician to...

　　Camping in the winter is not for the faint of heart. It’s cold. It’s wet. And it requires a lot of gear and layers. But the best part about camping in the off-season is that it’s typically uncrowded, quiet, and beautiful. 　　Ive always been a fan of sleeping outside. I love the smell of campfires, the fresh air, and waking...

　　Dont mess this up, was the only thought that went through my head as I lowered my head to the rifle and took aim at a whitetail doe. I was in Oklahoma, hunting out of a blind with Greg Ray, owner of Outdoor Solutions, on a media trip. Suffering through airports, long drives, and zeroing in on the range all...

　　I constantly wear joggers and lightweight pants that many would classify as athleisure. These are softshell-style pants, offering little by way of rigidity for carrying a knife. But as an EDC aficionado, I wont go anywhere without a knife. 　　Wallet, keys, phone, knife —a good setup, but heavy on the pockets. This has left me on the hunt for a...

I despise storing them, though. 　　Sticking them in most tackle boxes results in a giant, tangled mess. Instead of quickly swapping lures and making your next cast, youre left vigorously shaking a wad of sharp objects,...

　　Sometimes, it makes sense to invest in a logo. Other times, it doesnt. Gaiters are one area where I want simple, effective, and affordable gear.

　　Adjustable dumbbells are an excellent way to save space in your home gym. But buying adjustable dumbbells means making some compromises. Often, adjustable dumbbells come in odd shapes, fail to distribute weight evenly, or have plastic components that can affect durability. 　　The REP x PÉPIN FAST Series Adjustable Dumbbell ($1,500 for a 125-pound pair) appears to buck this trend, featuring...

　　For many modern whitetail hunters, mobility has become the name of the game. Permanent blinds are warm and cozy, and comfortable padded ladder stands are a great place to spend a morning. But those comforts are limited to those with private land access, and they don’t allow you to adjust on the fly with changes in deer behavior. 　　For those...

　　Theres no telling where youll find cryptocurrency these days. I spent some of my winter break hiking near the small town of Brevard, N.C., where I was surprised to see a Bitcoin ATM advertised on the sign of a gas station that looked like it was built in the 1960s. A quick Google search shows about a half dozen such...
