It’s easy to look at the gun control laws passed in another state and think, “Well, at least it doesn’t impact me.” I vehemently oppose what’s happened in California over the years, just as I vehemently oppose what’s happened in Virginia in 2026, but since it doesn’t affect me here in Georgia, it’s easy to let it go when the dust settles. The problems really get started when those terrible ideas don’t stay put, but are instead pushed onto the rest of the nation.In other words, remember reading about all of those new Virginia gun…

But I should have seen where it was going. “Oh man, more than 20 years!” I beamed. I’d bought the Marmot Pinnacle back when I worked at Midwest Mountaineering in the mid-’90s. It was one of my first real gear purchases, scrounged together by scrimping, saving, and eating ramen noodles during college. It turned out to be a spectacular investment. I’d spent hundreds of nights in that bag. I was…

I woke up to one of the strongest wind gusts I’ve ever weathered in a tent. I looked at my watch: 2:43 a.m. Right when the forecast was predicting 50 mph gusts on the snowy 12,000-foot ridgeline, The North Face’s (TNF) Assault 2 AMK Tent ($1,850), and I were perched on. My headlamp had broken, and with it was my only hope for an escape until sunrise in the worst-case scenario. Lying there cold, alone, and in the dark, I hunkered down, hoping the sub–3-pound tent’s carbon fiber poles could hold on a few hours longer. It did. After hours of shaking and flexing,…

I remember when magazines like Esquire were about men’s style and the gentleman’s lifestyle. If you wanted to be the most well-dressed man in any room, you probably read it and its sister publication, GQ. They focused on what they focused on and they did it well for decades. But, like most publications these days, they seem to think they also need to cover politics to some degree, which I guess would be fine if they actually had anything intelligent to offer.

Iran has vowed to retaliate against the United States after it fired upon and seized a cargo vessel in the Strait of Hormuz. “Trump, by imposing a blockade and violating the ceasefire, seeks, in his view, to turn the negotiating table into a table of surrender or to justify renewed warmongering,” said Iran’s parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf. Ghalibaf led the Iranian delegation in the failed talks with Vice President J.D. Vance in Islamabad, Pakistan, on April 11th. Vance Fails In Iran: No Peace Deal According to state media, as reported by NBC News, the ministry called the Sunday night cargo…
