The Best Broadheads for Hunting in 2025

　　Picking the right broadhead for hunting season is like picking a hunting partner…at least on the trust bit. Trust is a must. 　　Bowhunting involves an unthinkable amount of variables.

The Best Bow Cases of 2025

　　A bow case is a gear item that I think gets neglected, which is a shame. We invest so much into our bows and the fancy accessories we slap on them. To ignore their safe transport is to neglect their overall well-being and longevity of functionality. 　　Whether traveling to hunt in my home state or crossing state lines, I’ve done...

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.

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....
