Sir David Attenborough turned 100 on Friday, May 8, and the birthday tributes came from just about everywhere. Broadcasters, museums, conservation groups, and fans around the world marked the milestone for a man whose career has helped define modern wildlife storytelling. LEGO found a more specific way to join in. Some LEGO Classic sets list an age range of 4–99, including the Large Creative Brick Box. That meant Attenborough, at least technically, has just aged out of the range printed on the box. LEGO marked the occasion with a social post showing the age range updated to 4–100+. The post…

The best women’s climbing pants balance unrestricted stretch with rugged durability, keeping you comfortable under a harness from the gym to the crag. Bishop, California-based climber and GearJunkie contributor Miya Tsudome spent the past 12 months evaluating six new and updated models everywhere from the sharp granite of her local Eastern Sierra crags to global expeditions in Yosemite, Madagascar, and New Zealand. Drawing on years of experience with classic designs, she rigorously assessed each pair for mobility, abrasion resistance, and all-day harness compatibility. We crowned the Patagonia Caliza Rock Pants as our best overall pick for their rare mix of…

A missing hiker was found dead on Wednesday in Glacier National Park, and officials said his injuries were consistent with a bear encounter. Search and rescue crews found the body around noon on May 6, about 2.5 miles up the Mt. Brown Trail. The victim was about 50 feet off the trail in a densely wooded area with downed timber, according to Glacier National Park. Wildlife and law enforcement personnel are now assessing the area for bear activity and any ongoing public safety concerns. The National Park Service said it was withholding the victim’s identity until 72 hours after next…

When the subject of recoil management comes up, we’ve noticed that an element of machismo often comes with it. Who cares if a weapon kicks like a mule? Lean into the recoil and suck it up, princess! say the self-proclaimed experts with their chests puffed out. Admittedly, you shouldn’t be developing gnarly shoulder bruises after shooting a 10/22, but recoil management is a worthwhile consideration for other weapons — shotguns are a prime example. We’ve all seen videos of young or inexperienced shooters picking these guns up for the first time, and nearly toppling over after the first round. More…

Not only will buying now ensure you lock in your Epic or Epic Local pass at the lowest price, but it also opens the door to summer alpine adventures, on-mountain dining, live music, scenic gondola…

By Wayne van Zwoll Posted in #Gear My first scope was not a Leupold. A Leupold was something to aspire to. At $59.50 a 4x Leupold cost 10 bucks more than a K4, and 20 more than the scope I bought. Which set me back a little more than my first deer rifle. My first Leupold has faded in memory. Perhaps a 2-7x my friend Bob recommended, it may have arrived with a rifle swap. The 2-7x on Bob’s Featherweight Model 70 chambered for the .270 Win cartridge had accounted for many bucks, including a long-tined mule…
