As a full-time commercial outdoor photographer, I consider three things when choosing a trekking pole for my outdoor pursuits: price, weight, and adjustability. The Trekology Trek-Z 2.0 Trekking Poles stand out as reliable pieces of kit that won’t break your bank account and can be stored away in a small package for easy travel. When
Trail Kreitzer’s been bow hunting since he was a little kid — and he has the photographic evidence to prove it. From an early age, he would roam the hills and river bottoms surrounding his childhood home attempting to shoot jackrabbits and cottontails. Years later, as an adult, Kreitzer’s passion for archery and bowhunting reignited
Adjusting to winter running can be tricky. Swift movement in 30 degrees in November feels much colder than 30 degrees in March. Reminding your body that it can still function and do hard things when it’s cold can be challenging, even for those of us who live in super-cold climates — I’m one of them!
The last potentially unexplored whitewater canyon of the Nooksack watershed was right there in front of us, and like on any exploratory whitewater descent, the nerves, excitement, and fear all came flooding in at once. After scouting, we ran the first two rapids — big and powerful — and we could sense the river was

My touring partners and I crouched at the summit of our planned ski line, engulfed in a cloud of whipping winds and spindrift. It felt like chaos. I carefully donned insulating layers, fighting the wind’s attempt to tear them out of my hands. The anxiety was building. My Anon M5 ski goggles were the last

Form and function come together in the pretty new products on offer this week. There’s lots to love about the gear in today’s roundup, from battery packs shaped like fuel bottles to pink-and-black hemp shorts to ’80s-style Polaroid cameras.

It’s a distraction mechanism. My knees are clacking, my mouth has gone dry, and it’s all I can do to muffle the screams inside my head. But here I am, buckled into a harness and clipped by a carabiner into a cable that stretches across the rocky face of Eagle Cliff in the Shawangunk Mountains
It’s a crisp July morning in Jackson Hole. My kids are lined up at the base of a cliff, helmets on, and ready to climb. “You clip the cable and just go,” our guide explains. A set of ladder rungs snakes 50 feet skyward, disappearing around a bend. I’d booked a half-day excursion to show
There are so many options for baby-wearing and child-carrying, and I, for one, was overwhelmed when I first looked into carriers. When I finally found the Osprey carriers, I felt a little more confident that my need to explore outdoor spaces would not be inhibited by my new tiny roommate. This leading brand in backpacking
COROS rolls into cycling today with the DURA, the brand’s first foray into bike computers. This seems logical, as many of its wrist-mounted products, with just a few more functions, would function well as cycling computers if they had bigger readouts and were on the handlebar instead of the wrist. I received a pre-launch sample,

Today, Liv leverages its brand equity by addressing a younger audience with Faith, its first full-suspension youth mountain bike range. This addresses a hole in the mountain bike market and potentially secures future female shredders. Read on for the full details about the Faith lineup, and prepare for those Christmas requests.

The stick clip has evolved over the decades. It started with an actual tree branch, and then jumped to painter poles with hardware store spring clamps. Today, we enjoy climbing-specific, telescopic versions. But Metolius put the progression in overdrive with its Roll Up Stick Clip. As the name suggests, Metolius Climbing thought outside the box
Finding the perfect hunting gift for Father’s Day can be tough. There are so many options out there and being pointed in too many directions can lead to the dreaded analysis paralysis. Don’t get stuck wading through gifts he might not like. We’ve tested the best hunting gear on the planet and as hunters, we
Estes Park, a small town located at the gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park, has experienced three attacks from the large mammals since May 30. The most recent incident occurred Friday morning, causing Colorado Parks & Wildlife (CPW) officials to issue a renewed warning to residents and visitors. The rapid succession of elk attacks is
