Editor’s note: Bryon Dorr built up this vehicle and has sent it to auction for personal sale. Adventure rigs come in all shapes and sizes. But for me, the basics are always the same. I need a vehicle that can carry lots of kayaks, work well in all weather, be able to tackle remote and rugged terrain, and have enough room in it to sleep comfortably. I built my Lexus GX460 back in 2019. At the time, I needed a vehicle that was also nimble, super-reliable, and extremely versatile. That’s why I chose the GX 460 platform. It’s basically a…

Some years ago, in a pandemic-fueled frenzy, I dragged out my pyramid tarp shelter for some surgery. I wasn’t happy with a few aspects, but the main ask was for adjustable tensioners at the corners and mid-panel tie-outs for stiff winds. I’m no seamster, but the final product wasn’t half bad — at the expense of my sanity. I now know that I should have saved my fingertips (and brain) the pain of fighting the sewing machine: When the new SlingFin Cinder Cone Pyramid Tent arrived, it was everything I had made my old tarp into and much more.  I’ve…

The CRKT Xolotl, a Forged by War model from veteran Michael Rodriguez, is now receiving an OTF automatic model. The Xolotl OTF takes the inherently tactical nature of its predecessors and elevates it with the dual action setup. Named after an Aztec deity, the Xolotl started life as a manual folder, albeit one with a heavy dollop of traditional switchblade aesthetic ladled in. That was back in 2020; four years later the Xolotl family grew with a fixed blade variant, which got rid of the interior mechanism but kept the switchblade style look. Now, a year later, the knife is…

In the future, Rheinmetall intends to enable armed forces to produce their own fuel locally and independently of global fossil fuel supply chains. To ensure the operational readiness and energy supply of military forces, Rheinmetall is now presenting a new strategic concept: the independent synthesis of e-fuels by European armies. The ‘Giga PtX’ project developed by Rheinmetall, in collaboration with partner companies, aims to establish a Europe-wide network of several hundred modular e-fuel production plants.

The funk really started to set in around week three, which, all things considered, surprised the hell out of me. I wore the Ibex Naturalist Short Sleeve Crew for an entire month this fall in a quasi-masochist endeavor to understand merino wool better, and despite some protest from my better half, it went a lot better than expected. Merino wool can be tough to justify when it comes to active apparel — it’s undeniably pricey stuff, and it’s not indestructible, oftentimes accumulating holes in high-wear spots. The Naturalist is about as pure merino as you can get, making it the…

When it comes to Hornady, two things are inevitable: introducing new cartridges, and people hating on Hornady’s new cartridge. Americans born the same year that 6.5 Creedmoor was introduced are old enough to vote this year, but that doesn’t stop people from hating on it 18 years later. When Hornady introduced the 338ARC to the public last year, it was immediately met with hate and derision from a few corners of the internet, as well as one outspoken industry ‘personality’ that likely saw it as a threat to one of his pet projects.  Now, 12 months later, how does the…
