For me, a full-time gear reviewer, the newly redesigned Arc’teryx Rush Jacket ($800) was nice. But for my friend’s nephew (who I’d loaned the jacket to), it was like I handed him the keys to a McLaren for a day. Compared to his threadbare Marmot shell from 10 years ago, it really was a luxury upgrade. It speaks to Arc’teryx’s perception in the ski apparel landscape. “Wow, I never thought I’d be skiing in an Arc’teryx jacket,” the nephew of my buddy (and a poor college student) said on the chairlift. I was testing ski jackets and rotating our group…

Public lands employees were hit hard by mass firings in 2025. As part of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) job cuts, the National Park Service (NPS) lost around 25% of its employees. Some Western states like Nevada and New Mexico lost up to 20% of their public land employees. Now, understaffed parks like Yosemite and Arches face massive crowds and near-unprecedented levels of tourists, and scaled-back land management agencies are preparing for a potentially devastating fire season. In response, two congressmen introduced a bill that would block layoffs of public lands employees until 2030. The Bill The Public Lands Workforce Stability…

Wyoming by day is a playground without fences — biking, hiking, fishing, four-wheeling, or just picnicking on a carpet of wildflowers. But it doesn’t end when the sun slides behind the horizon. Come nighttime, Wyoming puts on a show unlike any you’ve seen before.  Out here, where pronghorn antelope outnumber people and your campfire is the only light for miles, the cosmos comes alive. There’s just you, your rig, and a sky so dark and clear that you understand for the first time why it’s called the Milky Way. Wyoming has some of the darkest skies in the Lower 48…

Winter was slow and cold. For the most part, it felt like life in the Northeast was operating just above hibernation levels. So when spring came, I applied all of that reserved energy and enthusiasm to projects and activities — that meant a lot of upgrades around the house. Little did I know that I would end up relying on one knife to be there for me to open and break down boxes, score wood for cutting, and mark points on our walls to hang shelves and pictures. Last summer, Work Sharp, a brand known for top-notch knife sharpeners, tried…
