The Petzl Adjama ($105) has been my everyday harness for years, and the latest version gives me the one thing I wanted more of — gear space. Finding a harness that can comfortably transition from long trad routes to gym sessions and occasional alpine objectives isn’t easy. Lightweight sport models trim features to save grams, while big-wall and trad harnesses prioritize support and gear storage. The Petzl Luna is the women’s-specific counterpart to the Adjama, offering the same features with a fit shaped specifically for women. I climbed in an older Adjama for several years before testing the latest version…
The president made appointments to multiple services as efforts to boost the military remain a priority. President Donald Trump announced key military appointments in multiple military services, including the Army, Air Force and the Space Force. The routine appointments and promotions make personnel changes in the departments and will reshape how they operate as the U.S. war with Iran continues. Trump announced the military appointments via the Department of Defense (DOD) Secretary Pete Hegseth, who published them in a series of releases on the DOD website. The 29th Secretary of War, the Honorable Pete Hegseth, delivers a speech during a…
Kindred Motorworks of Vallejo, Calif., is reimagining the cult classic Volkswagen Bus (aka Type 2 Transporter or “T2”) of the 1960s and ’70s. It fully transforms them into the desirable 23-window version and adds electric power, giving owners miles of smiles with more usable power and torque as well as modern amenities. There’s a catch, however: a hefty $249,000 price tag — that’s more than the cost of a house in some parts of the country. Are they worth it? “We modernize and work with vehicles people just adore,” Greg Clark, Kindred Motorworks’ Chief Commercial Officer (CCO), said. “They’re iconic.…
Air Mobility Command’s space-available travel sign-up process has run on the same basic model for years: Fill out a form, email it to whichever passenger terminal you’re departing from, and hope someone on the other end enters it correctly before your window opens. As of March 26, 2026, that changed. AMC launched a new self-signup tool incorporating every AMC location worldwide, and it’s built on fundamentally different plumbing than what came before it. What Actually Changed The old system, still technically available, routes a traveler’s information through an email that gets sent to a specific passenger terminal, where staff then…
For years now, anti-gunners have been trying their best to push gun ownership into the fringes of society. More accurately, they tried to turn it into the dirty little secret that you might be free to take part in, but you shouldn’t talk to people about it. It’s kind of like being into freaky bedroom activities or liking the Twilight movies. You might do it, but no one can know, even if it’s legal. And, frankly, we’ve played into their hands on that. People are paranoid about even talking about owning guns out of fear…
The Department of Defense (DOD) has announced two framework agreements to expand the production capacity of missile-interceptor components. The agreements, with defense companies Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin, intend to triple the production of Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) components, and quadruple the production of Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) components. The frameworks come as part of the Arsenal of Freedom initiative, a defense initiative to modernize military technology. “Building the Arsenal of Freedom requires robust, dynamic supply chains at every level of the industrial base,” said Michael P. Duffey, Under Secretary of War for Acquisition and Sustainment, in a…
The United States Coast Guard turns 236 years old this Aug. 4 — older than the Navy’s current organizational form, older than the Marine Corps as a permanent standing force and older than the country’s income tax by more than a century. It’s also, by a wide margin, the least understood branch of the U.S. military, in ways that go beyond people simply not knowing what it does day to day. From 10 Ships to a Fifth Armed Service The Coast Guard’s roots trace to Aug. 4, 1790, when Alexander Hamilton, then secretary of the treasury, persuaded Congress to authorize…
Side-by-sides used to be fairly straightforward machines. You got an engine, four tires, a bed, and enough rattling plastic to make your dang head implode. Things are a little different now, though. The 2026 Polaris Ranger XD 1500 NorthStar Mountaineer Edition costs nearly $46,000 for the three-seat model and $50,000 for the six-seat Crew. It weighs close to 3,000 pounds and comes with heated seats, power windows, air conditioning, and a touchscreen. By nearly any reasonable standard, it is a luxury side-by-side, which is apparently a thing now. After using it to haul feed, move tools and building materials, help…
New York Times investigative reporter Mike McIntire has a new book to sell, and he is going all out in pitching it to lefties. McIntire recently compared U.S. “gun culture” (as if there’s a monoculture of gun owners among the 100 million Americans who possess firearms) to the “late-stage Roman Empire” in its decadence because of the rise of high-end shooting ranges and gun clubs. Now McIntire’s out with a new column in the friendly pages of the New York Times magazine claiming that the “right to kill” is expanding; a column adapted from his new book “Ricochet: Guns,…

As I descended a steep run at Mt. Hood Meadows, I reminisced about learning to snowboard on Badger Pass in Yosemite National Park as a kid in the ’90s. The era’s outerwear was workmanwear-styled. I realized ThirtyTwo has captured that spirit. Introducing the ThirtyTwo TM Recycled Patch x Grenier Jacket, a collab between snowboard legend Chris Grenier and the boot-making juggernaut. I like fashionable gear that doesn’t look overly technical. So, I’m happy to see snowboarding cycling back toward a rugged, canvas-heavy tradesman aesthetic. But, as any boarder who’s worn denim or a field jacket on a powder day knows,…
Usually, when the media talks about some bad guy’s “arsenal,” we get ready to laugh. While it’s the technically correct term—which just means a collection of weapons, regardless of size—it’s still funny to use it to describe some dude with a shotgun and a single box of shells. Every now and then, though, we see an example where the term has us all going, “Yep. That’s an arsenal, all right.” I think the term applies to former Canadian MP Inky Mark. Yes, that’s his real name.Anyway, it seems the Canadian authorities arrested Mark for gun…
Stockpiling enough food to keep you and your family alive for a long time can be very challenging. Think about it: However much you spend on your weekly shopping trip is how much a week’s worth of emergency food could cost. And that’s just one week. There’s a reason certain foods have remained so popular among preppers and survivalists. Rice and beans, for example. They have a long shelf-life, they’re filling, and they’re good for you. These foods will always make the cut, while others are best reserved for softer times. In this article, we’re going to take a look…

The Kids S.A.F.E. Foundation in Oregon has been teaching important gun safety and marksmanship to youth for a decade. Radian Weapons recently made a generous donation to support the organization. Last month Kids S.A.F.E. announced that Radian generously pledged to support the youth-oriented organization by donating a rifle. Derek LeBlanc, the president of Kids S.A.F.E. recently reached out to say the organization just received the rifle and is excited to put it to use in training young firearm enthusiasts.“The Kids S.A.F.E. Foundation is a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting firearm safety education for children,…
Of all the contentious subjects in the car industry right now, the most contentious is probably subscriptions. Since people are already balancing subscription services everywhere else, it’s not a fun thing to discover in your car, too. They represent a potential revenue generator for car companies, so they’re continuing to investigate the idea. A new take on them comes to us from Ford with a patent that could make subscriptions less onerous, even if it doesn’t solve the main issues. Your Subscription Wouldn’t Be Restricted To One Car Credit:Â Ford What distinguishes Ford’s subscription idea is that it won’t be tied…
This article was originally published by Mike Adams at Natural News. We Are Witnessing the Commoditization of Machine Intelligence A new frontier model emerges every week — Grok, Qwen, DeepSeek, GLM 5.2 — each one matching or exceeding the last. Yesterday’s marvel is today’s commodity, and the speed of this cycle is staggering. Consider Fable Five: a model so dangerous it was recalled after hacking government systems in hours. Then it was re-released and immediately outperformed everything by 8x in real-world coding tasks. It doesn’t need babysitting. It’s like a heat-seeking bomb that solves in hours what used to take…
Cruising the logging roads of Washington state in my rig, it can be easy to lose your way. That’s why I’ve now made a GMRS walkie-talkie a standard piece of kit, and recently, I’ve been using the Cobra TrailBlazer 450 to keep in touch with trail partners on my off-road overnights. Just last week, I was high above the Skagit River staring down a washout, and keying up the 450, I was able to relay the info to the end of our convoy to begin finding a workaround. Bubblepack FRS radios would struggle to span the dense second-growth and switchbacks,…
The end of the tax stamp on suppressors wasn’t as good as we wanted, but it was a big step forward. Suppressors, often called “silencers,” aren’t the devices of spy movie infamy. They don’t deaden the sound until you can’t even hear it above a whisper, but they do work. They’re better thought of as safety devices, since they reduce the noise down enough that you probably won’t have as much hearing loss. And with the Big Beautiful Bill, we don’t have to pay an extra $200 to Uncle Sam if we want one.Not to…
For decades, tracking US vehicle sales was pretty straightforward. The quarterly numbers were either up, down, or stable, and fluctuations were noted if a typhoon hit Japan and flooded plants, or if a financial crisis or the 2001 terrorist attacks caused consumers to delay purchases. Credit:Â BMW It’s much harder to explain today’s US sales swings, which are impacted by consumers feeling an unstable economy, fuel prices gyrating, federal changes in emissions regulations, the elimination of federal tax credits for battery-electric vehicles, and a general feeling of uncertainty in just about everything. These changes are all pegged directly to the actions…
