I went through a brief phase where I went hunting with uncles and friends. I never got anything, mostly because I spent most of my time in the tree stand listening to music and reading books, though I did once shoot at a deer. If I’d hit it, I definitely would have had it mounted [ more... ]

The heating elements in Outdoor Research’s Prima Volta battery-heated gloves can get so hot that they’ll actually brand your hands with a white-hot OR logo. In light of such news, OR is going through a voluntary recall of their Prima Voltas. It’s really not that big of a deal since the gloves are outrageously overpriced [ more... ]

At least cars would be more likely to spot you before grinding your helmet under their tires. The problem with recumbents besides every single thing about them is that they’re so low to the ground that you’re lucky not to get sucked into the wheel well of every Honda Civic that drives by. The “ThisWay” [ more... ]

I can’t tell if this video was staged by some resort employees or the snowboarder just gets insanely lucky.

If, like me, you haven’t spent much time in the middle of the ocean then this video is pretty crazy. The footage isn’t exactly HD, but you get the idea these guys had to change their pants after shooting the video.

Patagonia made the top that can be worn as a midlayer or outerwear from mostly recycled polyester, and the whole thing is recyclable through their Common Threads program, [ more... ]

Clown shoes would have been a better investment than Crocs, and Life is Good has been recognized as the overpriced crap that it is. Now we need something new to hate. Sure, we have bottled water and plastic shopping bags, but we need something that guys with beards and hockey moms are getting into—I present [ more... ]

  These “Bikers’ Revenge” barend plugs are a cute idea if you’re looking to get your head crushed under the tire of some asshole’s new F-150. I like them in theory since I’m one of those self-righteous jerks who mentions that he doesn’t own a car (or a TV) whenever given the chance, but I [ more... ]
