Grand Teton National Park is one of Wyoming’s leading tourist attractions, and now there will be even more of the park for visitors to explore. The National Park Service (NPS) partnered with several organizations to purchase an additional 35 acres of land for the park, the last in a series of land deals that have grown the park’s footprint. What Happened Grand Teton National Park sits near Jackson Hole, Wyo., in Teton County. This area is consistently ranked among the wealthiest in the country, with average annual per capita income exceeding $530,000. And thus, the price of land here is…

Bullfrog Autonomous Weapon Station to Be Integrated Into Marine Corps Formations for Counter-Drone MissionsAUSTIN, Texas—Allen Control Systems (ACS) today announced that the U.S. Marine Corps has selected its Bullfrog™ autonomous weapon system under the service’s Ground Based Air Defense (GBAD) program to counter the growing threat of low-cost weaponized drones.

If I were packing for a ski trip and could only choose one mitten, the choice would be easy. Whether I was jet-setting to Europe, Japan, or the Mountain West, I’d choose Hestra’s Fall Line Mittens ($190). This design isn’t new or revolutionary. In fact, they’ve been in Hestra’s lineup for more than a decade. Proof, in mitten form, that you don’t always need to reinvent the wheel.  In short: Hestra’s Fall Line Collection includes a Glove, Mitten, and 3-Finger Glove (all in both unisex and women’s). The collection was built for freeride skiers, aiming to prioritize warmth and dexterity…

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…
