The Caldwell ClayCopter Hand-Held Thrower is putting a new spin on the age-old pastime of clay shooting.Several years ago, against the base of a mountain north of Spokane, friends and I escaped from our service-industry jobs to shoulder shotguns, sling clays and let fly strings of lead, watching as the discs turned to dust and showering pines and dirt in bursts of orange. It was cheap fun—gas was likely more expensive than the $10 for 90 clays and the other $10 for the handheld disc thrower we forgot back at home.Crushing clays was fun, but I also really enjoyed rearing…

There’s no better way to spend a weekend than packing up the car, heading out into nature, and camping in the woods for a few days. On its surface, car camping should be one of the most accessible ways to get outside: You’re not limited by weight, and you should be able to bring everything you need in your vehicle. And yet, we live in a world where a new tent or cooler can cost hundreds of dollars. And if you’re going with your family or kids, all that gear can quickly lead to sticker shock.

Crocs are unserious footwear. They squeak, they look ridiculous, and they were the go-to footwear for humanity’s great dumbening in the film ‘Idiocracy’. But they are quite simply the best camp shoe for many. If you want pure comfort, warmth, and coziness, there are many better options. If you’re looking for ultralight foot protection that won’t stay wet and handles the rigors of elk camp, Crocs are it. Hear me out. I was a Crocs hater until I needed a pair of shoes by the fire, and my dear friend Kate loaned me a pair. Looking down at the seafoam-green…
