President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order in the Oval Office today establishing the President’s Military Spouse Commission. The commission, which is authorized by Executive Order 14415, will provide recommendations for improving the quality of life for military spouses by addressing common challenges, such as housing, employment, healthcare, childcare, education and “just about everything else you can think of,” according to the president. “America cannot have the strongest military in the world without the love and devotion of our remarkable military spouses, who make the extraordinary sacrifices for our country. … Many military spouses spend months separated from their…

Last year, Caroline Himbert set the unsupported fastest known time (FKT) of the John Muir Trail (JMT) in dramatic fashion. She passed out after extreme hallucinations, woke up, and managed to race on, beating the FKT on the 223-mile trail by just 8 minutes. Himbert recently took on the JMT record again, this time beating it by a huge margin, cementing her status as one of the reigning crushers of the JMT. What Is the John Muir Trail? The John Muir Trail is one of California’s most scenic — and challenging — backpacking trails, crossing both Mt. Whitney and Yosemite Valley.…

I’ve been reviewing vehicles professionally since 2017, and in that time, I’ve driven everything from affordable commuters to motorcycles to million-dollar supercars and everything in between. One thing I’ve never done is drive a side-by-side, and that’s not entirely by accident. See, almost every car journalist I know who has driven one has managed to crash or roll it, and I try to avoid those sorts of experiences wherever possible, because crashing sucks. A lot. Fast-forward to this summer and the start of my tenure at GearJunkie. It turns out that you all (our fantastic audience) seem to like side-by-sides…

Well, I finally succumbed to my baser impulses this week and created an OnlyFans account. I just couldn’t resist anymore. While the platform has existed for many years, a new OnlyFans account recently appeared, offering “unfiltered content” that I had to see for myself. So I bravely typed in my work email address, verified my email, and then verified my age — all because I couldn’t resist the temptation to see hidden videos of the fat, furry objects of my desire. I’m speaking, of course, about marmots. Exclusive videos of these adorable mountain critters are now regularly posted on this platform,…

Most campers don’t need a complicated shelter. They need something comfortable, durable, reasonably light, and versatile enough to move between campground weekends and the occasional backpacking trip. That’s where the Big Agnes Blacktail 2 fits in. The Blacktail is aimed at users who value practical function over specialization. It avoids the extremes of ultralight backpacking tents that demand compromise in durability and space, while also steering clear of bulky campground shelters that are impractical beyond short distances from the car. Instead, it lands in a middle zone: enough interior room for comfortable nights, reliable weather protection, and a setup process…
