For the last month, the World Cup has captivated audiences all around the world. Even folks who aren’t normally soccer fans have been obsessed. We all know someone who stopped work in the middle of the day to watch a game between two countries that they may or may not be able to pick out on a map. (I have never done this while working at GearJunkie.) With the tournament concluding last week, there’s now a soccer ball–shaped void in many of our lives. The best way to fill it, and my next great obsession, is watching elite athletes pursue…

It’s the distance every runner knows. Before the 10K, the marathon, or even a 100-mile ultramarathon, many of us first test ourselves over the most iconic distance in running: the mile. On Saturday, in front of more than 55,000 fans at London Stadium, British runner Josh Kerr rewrote its history. He ran 3:42.66 to break Moroccan runner Hicham El Guerrouj’s 27-year-old world record of 3:43.13 set in 1999. The performance lowered one of the sport’s oldest and most untouchable marks by nearly half a second. The 1-Mile Lore The mile occupies a unique place in track and field. It’s one…

If you’re at all serious about hunting, a quality headlamp is an absolute, no-questions-asked must. A lot of hunting happens on either side of daylight, whether you’re hiking to a glassing point before sunrise, following a blood trail after dark, breaking down an animal, or just trying to find your damn boots in a tent at 4 a.m. A bad headlamp is one of those pieces of gear you quickly learn not to tolerate. This piece of gear alone will help you fill more tags because it lets you not miss out on those dawn/dusk opportunities. A few musts of…

Interest in outdoor recreation has exploded since COVID, which is great for people’s health and wellness, as well as tourism spending, but can pose logistical challenges. Increasing crowds have led to long entry lines, parking problems, and impacts on wildlife in popular areas. Several national parks have instituted timed-entry systems (where you reserve a day and time to enter the park), which have sparked controversy. Now, several states, including California and Florida, are implementing a similar reservation system in state parks to handle booming demand.  What Is Timed Entry? Beginning in 2020/2021, several popular national parks, including Yosemite, Arches, Glacier,…

In the ’90s and early 2000s, the outdoor industry largely ignored women. When it came to designing apparel and gear for women’s bodies, the standard refrain was “shrink it and pink it.” Brands just tweaked men’s products, instead of developing gear specifically with women in mind. Thankfully, that’s changed. It’s now standard practice for climbing brands to make women’s harnesses specially designed to fit their hips, which tend to be wider than men’s. Some backpacking brands have designed packs to be comfortable to wear around boobs. And apparel designers are far more likely these days to make apparel in extended…

Welcome to Untamed Jamaica, where we explore one of the Caribbean’s most dynamic islands. Step beyond the boundaries of a typical beach resort, and you’ll find a culturally rich and geographically dynamic nation — you can explore rugged mountain ranges and beautiful forested rivers. It’s an incredible contrast. And the surf culture is underrated: consistent waves are groomed by Caribbean trade winds, and the passionate locals have built an emerging action sports scene that really needs to be explored to believe. Jamaica boasts one of the richest surf experiences in the world, just a short flight from the U.S. coast. Dane Gudauskas knows.…

By Ryan Domke Posted in #Gear When it comes to AR-15 magazines, Magpul’s PMAG line is about as proven as it gets. For years, the PMAG 30 GEN M2 was the standard. It’s tough, reliable, and affordable. But as with any product, there are always potential updates and enhancements to be made. Enter the PMAG GEN M3, Magpul’s evolution of that design, promising improved compatibility, strength and performance. I’ve spent plenty of time running both and have put more rounds through each than I can even begin to estimate. While they look relatively similar at first glance,…
