2025 was a rough year for human-bear relations. In the U.S., Florida had its first-ever fatal attack from a black bear, and two men died in Arkansas in separate incidents. Japan’s black bear population surged in 2025, resulting in so many fatal attacks on humans that the country’s military got involved. And in perhaps the most terrifying example of all, a grizzly bear attacked a group of schoolchildren in British Columbia, Canada — and then disappeared beyond the reach of wildlife officials. In many cases, these attacks prompt calls for renewed hunting of bears. That’s even true in British Columbia, which…

Please familiarize yourself with local, state, and federal laws, and seek the advice of qualified legal experts as required. A common theme on the gun-related Internet is “A 10mm will hang you in court! It’s overkill! It’s ‘indicia of malice’! It’s too powerful for self-defense against anything but big bears! A 10mm got Harold Fish convicted for murder!” The truth is a lot more complicated. Let’s look at the case that’s most often cited in…

It’s been a garbage snow year in Colorado so far, which means a whole lot of turns on groomers and not much back bowl action. Fortunately, those groomers are magnificent testing grounds for Nordica’s newest flagship boot, the Promachine 3. So I leaned hard on my uphill boot, throttling into the Faction Dancer skis I was also testing, and let their legs open up. I was on the front side of Copper Mountain, ripping down Rosi’s Run under the Super Bee lift. It was late afternoon, and the crowd had thinned to a few stragglers. I made an arcing turn…

Considering aviation and knives don’t usually go hand-in-hand, it may not surprise you that we don’t get very many aircraft-inspired EDC blades. But why shouldn’t we? Both typically specialize in hardwearing yet lightweight materials, and both deliver beautiful curves despite their utilitarian designs. Zero Tolerance, one of our favorite made-in-the-USA knife brands (and owned by the same parent company as Kershaw), just came out with a carbon fiber folder that takes serious inspiration from one of the most iconic jets of all time. I have seen knives claim to have taken inspiration from this or that. In this case, I…
