The Gear PCT Thru-Hikers Are Loving (And Ditching) This Year

　　It isn’t that hard to find them in town. Thru-hikers are predictable — more animal-like in behavior than town and city folk. Burger stands are typical spotting grounds. Any cheap motel with the door wide open and sink-washed laundry on the railing is a likely habitat. Natural shade lures them in. 　　But the annual PCT Days is a next-level draw...

What Life in the Grand Canyon Tells Us About Life Everywhere Else, With Cindell Dale

　　The River Guide is an outdoor archetype, a sunburnt romantic whose everyday existence is a bucket list adventure for the rest of us. They read inscrutable water, navigate person-eating hazards, and exude a natural connection to the canyons through which they guide us—and, in the Grand Canyon, all of that gets turned up to 11. Cindell Dale has guided “the...

We Tested the Redesigned 2026 Can-Am Defender Lineup: What Was Good Is Now Great

　　UTV manufacturers love to shout “all-new” the same way gas station sushi shouts “fresh.” Most of the time, it’s a reach. A new hood shape and a tweaked badge do not equal a redesign. 　　Can-Am didn’t play that game. The 2026 Defender lineup actually changed. This isn’t lipstick on a bumper. The brand rebuilt the platform from the ground up....

More Pockets, Minimal Weight: Deuter Speed Lite Pro 30L Review

　　When I’m 2,000-plus vertical feet and 10 miles into a hike, the last thing I want to think about is the weight of my pack pulling me down. Luckily, as I hiked wearing the Deuter Speed Lite Pro, the thought didnt cross my mind. The pack was loaded with gear, but it wasnt slowing me up or weighing me down...

The Ultimate Family Road Trip

　　There are two kinds of family road trips. The “Are we there yet?” kind, with too many car hours and too little action (sorry kids), and the “Do we have to go home?” kind (thank you, parents).
