“There he is, in the neighbors’ trash again,” I groaned to my wife about our yellow lab. He’d just run half a mile to the nearest neighbor to investigate their trash. Frustrated by his insistence on leaving our property, I ordered the SpotOn NOVA GPS Fence, and he hasn’t left since (as long as I remember to put the collar on him). He’s a different dog, thanks to this GPS fence. We have two labs, a chocolate and a yellow. The yellow generally leads our chocolate lab off of our 60 acres for hours at a time. It’s typically not…

Professional athletes from around the world are about to descend on Las Vegas for the most intriguing and controversial sports competition of the year. The Enhanced Games are taking place at Resorts World on Sunday, May 24, to test the “enhanced” limits of human potential. Competitors will engage in swimming, track and field, and weight lifting, and the vast majority will be juiced on a cocktail of performance-enhancing drugs. The Enhanced Games have been making headlines, stirring conversation, and igniting arguments since the concept was first announced in 2023. Now, 3 years later, it’s finally happening, and anyone with a…

Support us! GearJunkie may earn a small commission from affiliate links in this article. Learn More Over the last several years, I’ve come to really appreciate heavy pans for camp cooking. And while I have a full range of cast iron in my kitchen, the pan that lives in my truck is carbon steel. Specifically, I’ve been using a 12-inch Made In carbon steel pan for several years. It’s awesome. That carbon steel pan has cooked easily 100 meals in the wilderness. It’s tough as nails, heavy enough to hold heat evenly, but not so heavy as to be ungainly…

Liong Mah has a Kickstarter success on his hands with the SFD, or Small Field Duty. The SFD is a 2026 refresh of a popular LMD piece, with a new lock and a proven, popular blade steel registering among the changes. The Field Duty model has been a part of Mah’s offerings since 2019, when it debuted in its original, full-size form. Mah has always enjoyed larger blades and the first Field Duty dropped with an impressive 3.75-inch drop point. In 2020, he returned to the design to create a smaller sequel, the Field Duty EDC, which scaled the blade…

The heir to a multibillion-dollar retail business was arrested this week in connection with his father’s death. In 2024, Jonathan Andic was hiking with his father, Isak, in the Montserrat Mountains near Barcelona, Spain, when Isak fell down a steep embankment, tumbling 300 feet. The 71-year-old founder of fast-fashion retailer Mango died at the scene. Initially, his death was investigated as an accident. But in 2025, police announced that the case had become a homicide investigation. Jonathan, the primary heir to his father’s business fortune, was singled out as a suspect. He was the only one with his father when he fell,…

In the hierarchy of national parks, the North Cascades in Washington state has traditionally ranked pretty low. It receives fewer than 50,000 visitors annually, but its remote, rugged landscape is slowly becoming more popular. Since 2022, its visitor numbers have jumped 55%, and 2025 was a landmark year, with over 46,000 visitors, the most ever. Its potential in 2026 looked bright, until disaster after disaster struck. Extensive wildfires and flooding last year left widespread damage in the park. The North Cascades is facing major infrastructure problems and area closures, spelling trouble for the upcoming peak summer season. The future of…

Salomon – Genesis Forces Mid GTX I recently picked up a pair of the new Genesis Forces Mid GTX which were released earlier this year. They are touted as built for comfort and they deliver. The first thing I noticed after putting them on was how I felt like I was walking on a cushion of air. It makes sense as they are based on Salomon’s ultra-distance trail running shoe of the same name. The cushioning is provided by Salomon’s mid-sole system, optiFOAM with additional support from their activeCHASSIS. The upper is ripstop fabric reinforced with over molding for durability.…

There been a lot of controversy over the SIG P320 Pistol, especially after a false narrative was shared following the death of an Air Force Airman last summer at the hands of another Security Forces Defender. Rather than take responsibility for the death of his fellow service member, the perpetrator claimed the M18 Modular Handgun, a P320 variant, fired in an uncommanded discharge. Despite that being a lie, the internet went wild for it. Quite a few instructors as well as some professional organizations and ranges joined in on the hysteria and banned use of the firearm in events and…
