As I sink into the driver’s seat and adjust the rear-view mirror, I only see the back seat, no window to view the rear of the car. But flip the lever at the base of the mirror and transform it into an illuminated screen showing a clear, zoomed-in view of what’s behind. I put it in reverse, and the 15.4-inch center display gives additional vantage points for a panoramic scene of what’s behind. I counted nine cameras on the Polestar 4 in total. It sees all. Polestar’s fourth model takes a crossover SUV coupe shape, but with more fastback sedan-like…

Australian-based ZeroTech offers a dialed-in, entry-level precision optic in its Vengeance 6-24x50mm.The advancements in armaments and ammunition in recent decades have extended the average rifleman’s range to the horizon.

For the second time ever, last month I flew to North Carolina to do some off-roading in the gritty southern mud. But in this case, the media program was not specifically aimed to demonstrate the off-roading capability of a new vehicle. Yes, I would be driving the new Honda Passport TrailSport, and I learned plenty about this mildly upfitted crossover. But more importantly, Honda wanted to provide a primer on the specific kind of off-road training that the company’s own engineers undergo before even working on vehicles like the Passport TrailSport. Dubbed “Honda Foundational Training,” the program’s origins trace back…

We’ve all heard the adage: it’s about the journey, not the destination. No one knows this to be true more than hunters. From months of planning and preparation to early mornings and long days in the backcountry, hunting is the ultimate practice of delayed gratification. Think: 90% journey, 10% destination, in a good season. That’s why a hunter’s ride is one of the most important pieces of equipment they can invest in.  The 2025 Ram 2500 isn’t just a work truck. It’s a capable, comfortable, and trail-ready hunting partner. Whether you’re hauling into a remote camp or just need a…

In many ways, Kim Knor is a typical grandma. She moved to be closer to her kids, and loves taking care of and spending time with her grandchildren. Sometimes, however, spending time with her family means jumping out of a plane with them. Knor began skydiving at a young age, and picked up the sport again later in life. On Nov. 6, at the age of 86, Knor will jump with her two daughters, bringing her jump total to 1,000, a legendary feat that few achieve. With this jump, Knor will earn the Gold Wings Award from the United States…
