Everybody knows Call of Duty, Halo, Half-Life 2, and Bad Company 2, but plenty of great FPS games have become forgotten over time, destined to only appear in these types of articles as memories by someone who loves to track down gems from yesteryear. There are many reasons a video game masterpiece might never attract the attention it deserves or slip through the cracks in time, and quite a few of these titles have not been properly preserved and made easily accessible to a modern audience.

Hitch bike racks are arguably the easiest, safest way to transport bikes to a trailhead or campout. Based in Colorado, lead tester Eric Phillips has spent hundreds of hours testing five hitch racks with a variety of mountain bikes and electric bikes over the past six months including local circuits and a road trip to Utah. After thousands of hours of testing on racks since 2022, it’s clear that the 2-bike Küat Piston Pro X sets the bar among plush designs, with hydraulically actuated wheel clamps, LED lights, and robust security features. Meanwhile, the 2-bike Küat Piston Ion offers a 100-pound…

A quality headlamp is, without a doubt, one of the most important and useful tools in a successful hunter’s toolkit. To find success, one must be willing to work before the sun is up and after it’s down. So a headlamp one can trust is a must. It needs to have good battery life, be durable, waterproof, have a usable red light, and have a lock. The problem is that most headlamps are not made specifically for hunters and their demands.
