A mere 2 days before the Bassmaster Classic, I found myself sitting in a Kentucky whisky distillery of all places, listening to a new product presentation. Berkley had brought in a host of outdoor media folks to showcase a much hyped, but somewhat guarded, new line of baits. All I knew going into it was that it was unseen by the masses, and Berkley sure was excited about it. Little did I, or anyone in the room, know that a few days later, a young angler would win the Bassmaster Classic using the very thing we were looking at: Berkley…

Rheinmetall AG will be participating in the specialised trade fair XPONENTIAL Europe 2026 in Düsseldorf from 24 to 26 March 2026.

This winter, Chevrolet let me borrow a 2026 Silverado High Country for an epic ski trip. The winter storms struggled, though, so I wound up chasing the dregs of snow at Steamboat, Powder Mountain, and Aspen. And in truth, a review of the Silverado High Country itself almost became silly. Despite covering 2,289 miles over two weeks, I probably drove the car only 5% of the time. Instead, this trip provided me with a great opportunity to live with GM’s Super Cruise hands-free driving. I had used Super Cruise on press trips before, but never on a legit road trip…

The Fischer Speedmax 9 RL BOA is a downright ridiculous cross-country ski boot. If you watched any of the cross-country events in the 2026 Winter Olympics, they were regularly featured. I even saw the non-BOA model on the feet of Norway’s now-legendary Johannes Klæbo and a whole bunch of biathletes. So I certainly felt a bit of impostor syndrome as I cranked up the dials at the Frisco Nordic Center in Summit County, Colo., to put these seriously high-performance nordic skate boots to the test. Sure, I’ve been cross-country skiing for more than 40 years. But that doesn’t mean I’m…

Another hot winter has resulted in some of Canada’s worst avalanche conditions in recent memory. Over the weekend, Parks Canada warned against traveling into the backcountry of Banff, Kootenay, and Yoho national parks due to unseasonal warmth that had created extreme avalanche danger. The danger seemed to improve by Monday, when Avalanche Canada downgraded several areas from “extreme” danger to “considerable.” Avalanche conditions in the Murray Range of British Columbia’s northern Rockies were especially severe. One area included the “biggest avalanche I’ve seen in my career,” said Mike Koppang, an expert with Kananaskis Mountain Rescue. In an Instagram video, Koppang…

Zac Whitmore, designer of the award-winning Civivi Yonder, has partnered with the shop again for a larger sequel. The Over Yonder, as it’s called, brings the winningly simple design of its littler predecessor forward, just scaled up. The first Yonder arrived in 2024, and was warmly received not only by users in general but by the judges at Blade Show in Atlanta, where it took home the Best Buy of the Year award. It is the kind of knife Civivi does best: a no-funny-business user with handsome, albeit understated styling, made to the exacting standards all Civivi (as well as…

With ample public lands, miles of trails, and a temperate climate, Chattanooga, Tenn., is a popular outdoor recreation destination in the Southeast. Unfortunately, this past weekend, it was also the site of two major search-and-rescue (SAR) operations, both on Signal Mountain. The first occurred on the morning of March 21, when an off-duty military service member fell in a rocky area. Authorities confirmed that the injuries resulted in the victim’s death after he was transported to a hospital. The second hiking accident on Signal Mountain occurred later that same day, when a hiker sustained a serious foot injury that made…

Katya Saturday is all up in arms. But the no-nonsense New Yorker isn’t angry — she’s empowered through “sword yoga.” And a steel, 30-inch, double-edged blade, named “Golden Hour,” is her preferred instrument of independence. “It’s a tool of self-expression and freedom,” Saturday, 25, exclusively told The Post. “The sword is like a magic wand that gives me a sense of graceful power.” “When I hold it, I feel like a force of femininity, beauty and strength,” added the force-to-be-reckoned-with, one in the rising army of everyday dynamos leading the sword yoga fitness charge. I think that Lisa has been doing…
