Winter can be a confusing time for runners. Conditions can be highly variable — cold and dry, cold and icy, cold and slushy, or randomly temperate. Protection from the cold and grip on slippery surfaces are essential, but over the course of a single run, one might traverse pavement, puddles, and powder. Spikes can be useful, but are overkill for runs that aren’t exclusively on snow or ice. Yet typical trail shoes can be insufficient for the frigid conditions. In 2022, Tracksmith debuted the Eliot Runner — a low-profile shoe with a Pebax midsole and insole. Its classic look, combined…

The Golden Row is a ski traverse in Tromsø, Norway, that consists of three peaks and three ski descents — and it ain’t a cakewalk by any measure. That’s what drew extreme backcountry skier and filmmaker Nikolai Schirmer to attempt it. In the winter of 2024/25, he and three other skiers set out to complete this infamously brutal ski route. It claimed drones, ski bindings, and even several of the athletes along the way. Only two of the original four completed the route. But the rewards for those who did were huge: massive descents, incredible powder, and bragging rights that won’t…

The best women’s hiking boots solve the backcountry’s most common trip-ruiners: crushed toes, rolled ankles, and agonizing blisters. While trail runners are having a massive moment, nothing beats the locked-in ankle support, weather protection, and heavy-load stability of a dedicated hiking boot. Over the last three years, our team of female testers has logged hundreds of miles across the Rockies, the Tetons, and the muddy trails of the Pacific Northwest to evaluate over 50 pairs of boots. We hauled heavy overnight packs, plowed through alpine snowmelt, and navigated slick rock to find out which boots actually support your arch, and…

This article originally appeared on The Inertia. Two missing hikers kicked off a search for a spree killer in Utah this week. Now, the manhunt has ended with a suspect in custody and the discovery of a third body. The ordeal began Wednesday, when Linda Dewey, 65, and Natalie Graves, 34, failed to return from a hike in central Utah, near Capitol Reef National Park. When their husbands went to the trailhead to look for them, they found both women dead and their car missing. The ensuing manhunt would go across four states and uncover another body, 86-year-old Margaret Oldroyd.…

By Jeremy Tremp Posted in #Guns In this article, Jeremy Tremp reviews the new Springfield Armory SAINT Victor 7.62 rifle with a 20″ barrel. This new AR-10-style rifle is chambered for the 7.62×51 NATO cartridge, which allows it to also shoot the popular .308 round. How does it perform? That’s what Tremp is here to tell us.

My first opportunity arose when I wrote an article about taking the…

There’s a reason why soldiers in the early days of the Global War on Terror were spray-painting the stems of their safety glasses. It wasn’t about aesthetics or unit cohesion; it was about survival. A glint of light reflecting off glass or the distinctive silhouette of night vision devices could be the details that turn a concealed position into a target. That reality hasn’t changed. If anything, it’s intensified. As optics improve and adversaries become more sophisticated, the margin for error shrinks. The things that make you visible don’t just compromise your position, they compromise your mission. Blue Force Gear…
