  Striker rod and bellows for igniting even stubborn fuel

  The Vargo Ultimate Fire Starter provides everything you need to start a roaring fire except the fuel. Simply unscrew the ferrocerium rod from the bellows and use the integrated scraper to ignite any tinder. Then, extend the bellows and gently blow to nurture that spark into a flame. Or use it any time to help increase the heat of your fire. Great for getting stubborn or wet fuel to burn, too!

Footprint sold separately.

Legit Running Shoes Made From Castor Beans, Sugar Cane & Cornstarch: Hylo Impact Review
  These shoes are almost perfect, I thought. With 4 miles down and 2 to go — my typical training run for new shoes — I could tell that Hylos debut running shoe, the Impact, was not going to shatter my PR. The shoe wasnt overwhelmingly fast, and it didnt feel remarkably different than any other well-made running shoe.   Oddly, though, that similarity to...

The Best Tire Pressure Gauges of 2024
  Your tires are the only part of your car that interacts with the road. If they’re underinflated, they not only cost you gas but can make your car handle unsafely.

A Skeptic’s Guide to the 2025 Toyota 4Runner, Tacoma, and Land Cruiser
  I drove a 2024 Toyota Tacoma for the first time yesterday. That’s relevant to an article about the new 4Runner, because both it, the new Taco, and also the new Land Cruiser are all built on the same platform, with the same engines, axles, and suspension. And that creates a conundrum for shoppers, because prices between those mechanically-very-similar vehicles range...
