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 on the wall with a gun and army helmet like this squirrel. The mounted Army Squirrel is for sale on eBay for only $50.
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 so they’ve probably only sold about 10 pairs. So far only one person has been burned by the gloves, so you can keep them and just lower the heat setting unless, you know, you’re a total nancy.

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” bike by designer Torkel Dohmers has a tall rollcage that makes it more visible than traditional recumbents, and it also has the added convenience of blocking every sidewalk where it’s locked up.
I can’t tell if this video was staged by some resort employees or the snowboarder just gets insanely lucky. Most people don’t have to bother checking their landings in the park, but it wouldn’t be a bad idea at this resort where it’s apparently common practice for snowcats to drive uphill through the terrain park while it’s still open. Anyone know where this was shot?

Daaaaamn! Harry’s turquoise bike sounds fast! SomeoneStoleMyBike.com isn’t a mindshare for recovering stolen bikes but an attempt to catalog every story of every person on the planet’s stolen ride. So far they have 20 people’s stories—so it’s kind of an uphill battle for them. |
