Rare Texas Crag Opens to Climbers, For Just a Few Weekends

　　Take it from a native like me: Texas doesnt offer a lot of climbing. 　　Yes, there is world-class bouldering at Hueco Tanks. But the El Paso–adjacent crag is also a 10+ hour drive from most of the states major cities. Other than that, the Lone Star States dearth of public land allows for only a handful of other crags. 　　Among...

Wind-, Water-, Fireproof Winter Jacket: Teren Campfire Puffy 2.0 Review

　　Flames crackled and popped high into the February air as the blowtorch relentlessly blasted a dense, smoky burn pile. Despite the roaring fire slowly devouring the accumulated old growth, the temps surrounding the scorching blaze were frigid — single digits, if any could be found at all. 　　Burn piles like this are just one part of cabin life in northern Minnesota....

　　When Jeep brought back the long-lamented Wagoneer badge back in 2022, it expected to have a big hit on its hands. But things didn’t go quite as planned. Now, after some soul-searching, a new naming strategy, and a big price cut, the 2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer could finally be what was hoped for.

The Ultimate Camp Recliner Just Got Better: NEMO Stargaze EVO-X Camp Chair Review

　　Historically, my favorite chairs are those junk disposable ones that you can get at a box store for under $10. You don’t have to worry if an ember burns through the seat or if the legs rust off after lounging on a saltwater sandbar. 　　But as the years roll by, I am starting to appreciate a few elevated camp comforts,...

Powerful Grip, Slide-Out Tray: Küat Grip 6 Ski and Snowboard Rack Review

　　Vehicle space on a ski trip is in high demand, often leaving no space for skis inside your car. The roof is a great place to store skis or snowboards to and from the mountain, and it can even look good on your vehicle. Some challenges come with a roof rack, too — but fortunately, the Küat Grip 6 Ski and...

I Ran a Mile in Waders: SITKA Delta VentLite GTX Zip Wader Review

　　Why on earth is SITKA creating another wader? I asked myself. I had just reviewed a revamped Delta Pro Zip GTX Wader, so hearing about the release of another high-end wader — the SITKA Delta VentLite GTX Zip Wader ($1,500) — a few months behind, left me scratching my head. There had to be a good reason for it, or...

Kelty Wayback 20 Sleeping Bag Review: A Flannel Throwback for the Most Cushy Camps

　　As a self-proclaimed maximalist, I adore ultralight equipment — because I can carry more of it. I’ve become accustomed to my various ultralight mummy bags, so testing the Kelty Wayback 20-Degree Sleeping Bag felt like being spoiled — like slipping into custom boots after years of rocking a size too small. 　　With a massive 82x34” silhouette and thick flannel lining,...

Shredding in ‘ChaCha Land’: Nikolai Schirmer Gears Up & Hits Slopes in Georgia

　　The Caucasus Mountains in Georgia are a secret magnet for skiers willing to go the distance. The mountains are reminiscent of Alaskas, the snow is supposedly better than Japans, and the crowds are totally nonexistent. 　　Thats what drew Nikolai Schirmer, Lucas Wachs, and Sam Favret so far off the beaten path. In ChaCha Land, these three pro skiers head to...
