At 8 a.m., Lewis Pugh finally pulls up in his Ford Bantam, a miniature pickup that looks like the love child of an actual pickup and a Matchbox toy. Pugh, who is 6’1″ and built like, well, a truck (albeit an older model at this stage), looks like he’s had to stuff himself in, and it’s possibly too much trouble to get out. I’ve been waiting for him for about an hour at a beach in Simon’s Town, South Africa, a white-washed village near Cape Town....

This summer is going down in history as the summer of seltzer, with brands like White Claw enjoying a massive jump in sales over the past few months. Now Pabst Blue Ribbon and Natural Light are getting in on the action: Yesterday, the companies both released their own hard seltzers. PBR debuted Stronger Seltzer, a lime-flavored spiked seltzer, and Natty launched Natural Light Seltzer in “Catalina Lime Mixer” and “Aloha Beaches” flavors....

Meet the Peugeot Rifter 4×4 concept. Photo: Courtesy of Peugeot When it comes to concept cars, it’s always a good idea to take them with a grain of salt. After all, they’re just concepts at this point, and there is never any assurance that they will make it to the production line. At the same time, recent concept darlings like the new Ford Bronco, the VW I.D. Buzz electric van and others were met with such huge positive feedback from the public that the manufacturers simply had to put them into production sooner or later....

Nothing screams summertime like fresh fruit, so take advantage of the season’s best offerings and whip up this strawberry dessert. Best of all, the whipped ‘cream’ won’t set your diet back. It’s made from part-skim ricotta cheese. Pro tip from Chef Bobby Flay: Straining the ricotta to drain excess liquid makes the dessert’s “cream” even thicker.

One of the easiest ways to get a protein boost is by whipping up a smoothie. This one is made with edamame, which ups the amount of protein to 21g per drink. The sugars are all natural, coming from the banana and milk, which also adds a ton of nutrients (like potassium) your muscles need to recover.

Get the benefits of chili peppers—both by chopping them up and adding them to everyday favorites like chili, burger mixtures, and lasagna. Pro tip: Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly after handling raw chili peppers, as the residue can irritate your skin.

Whether you’re using beef meatballs or, in our case, the lighter turkey variety for this hearty classic, you shouldn’t use just any whole grain. Because marinara—yes, good old “red sauce”—has a sweet taste to it, says Tallulah’s chef Walter Edward, who specializes in vegetable-and-grain-driven comfort food. We recommend pairing it with a pasta packed with a tasty, nutty flavor, and Racconto 8 Whole Grain Spaghetti—blending eight healthy grains, including rye, buckwheat, and millet—fits the bill perfectly....

Unlike most of us who live our daily lives tethered to “necessities” like cell phones, computers and a constant wi-fi connection, Morgan Sjogren, 32, lives freely out of her canary yellow Jeep, going weeks and many thousands of miles with just the bare minimum always on hand: her running gear, and a healthy ration of tortillas. Over the course of a year and a half, she set out on a series of adventures that took her from the Colorado Sierras to Utah’s Bears Ears National Monument, and lots of places in between....

Frank Yohannan, president of the Sea Otter Classic, said on Tuesday that he’s considering how to proceed with this year’s festival given the current coronavirus threat. The festival is scheduled at Laguna Seca Raceway in Monterey, California on April 16-19. Over its four days, Sea Otter draws some 10,000 athletes and another 70,000 fans as North America’s race season opener and huge product expo. But with large gatherings all over the world being canceled or postponed amid fears of the contagious coronavirus, which is thought to spread primarily person-to-person, Yohannan said in an e-mail sent on Tuesday afternoon that he’s considering how to proceed....

Monte Brento, in northern Italy, looms 5,000 feet above the Sarca Valley, and it was here, last September, that photographer Sebastian Wahlhuetter, skydiver Fred Haidegger, and their team had convened. The goal: a 4,000-foot, 10-second BASE jump. The trouble: Cruddy conditions had forced them to retreat down the mountain on their first attempted ascent. Even had they made it up, “you couldn’t see down, because of the fog,” Wahlhuetter recalls. “So you can’t jump....

We shit you not: Volunteers chugged a glass of E. coli so scientists could see whether a person’s blood type influences the severity of traveler’s diarrhea. We know what you’re thinking. This must be the sorriest bunch of volunteers inhabiting planet Earth—or they got some really great incentives (maybe a Cheese of the Month Club) to say ‘Thanks for letting us turn your gastrointestinal system into a Thunderdome.’ In the Washington University School of Medicine study, published in The Journal of Clinical Investigation, researchers conducted controlled human infection clinical trials at Johns Hopkins University....

In 2012, Cliff Johnson signed up to run his first marathon—three years after co-founding the vacation rental company Vacasa. His wife thought he was crazy. This is, after all, a critical time in the life a startup, when every decision is urgent and there is no such line between work and non-work hours. Still, Johnson decided to spend valuable time outside, logging miles while escaping emails. “On a run, my attention is undivided,” Johnson says....

You’ve been going hard in the gym—working your legs, chest, arms, shoulders, and every other muscle to reach your goals. But are you going too hard? Working too much? Could you be overtraining yourself? Yeah, you might be. Here are the ways to know that you might be pushing a bit too hard, and what you need to do to stop. Danger zone 1 You feel guilty if you don’t train at least two hours a day....

Seinfeld is getting a new home address: After losing The Office and Friends to rival streaming services, Netflix has bought the rights to stream all 180 episodes of Seinfeld, according to Variety. The series is currently streaming on Hulu, but the episodes will switch over to Netflix starting in 2021. 9 TV Shows to Watch Now That ‘Game of Thrones’ Is Over Read article The deal for Netflix is a five-year contract and reportedly cost “far more than the $500 million NBCUniversal paid for The Office, and the $425 million WarnerMedia shelled out for Friends,” according to the Los Angeles Times....

Strength is the foundation of everyday acts of athleticism (like hitting a 300-yard drive in golf) and not-so-human feats (like J.J. Watt’s 5’1″ box jump.) Strength isn’t limited to muscle size and capacity. When you get stronger, you’re better able to lose weight, run faster, and hit harder. Which is why we’ve got 10 no-frills strength-training tips to help you make everything in your life feel just a little bit easier (and much lighter)....

Photos and words by John Webster Chile is a well-known epicenter of whitewater paddling. It has been documented time and time again, but sometimes practical DIY advice is overshadowed by stunning photos. Based on my experience in this beautiful area, I’ve come up with some simple guidelines to help prospective travelers. The first obvious fact is that Chile’s summer is North America’s winter. So if you got the means to make the long haul south now, as temperatures cool in the Northern Hemisphere, you can paddle year-round....

It’s been a brutal summer for wildfires, and the season is just getting started. Even worse, a new report shows that 95 percent of the time, humans are to blame for these destructive burns. While some—like the Carr Fire, which burned more than 1,000 structures—result from accidents, others stem from pure human carelessness, like campers not heading burn bans, or not properly extinguishing their campfires. Here’s the deal: With wildfires costing our country billions of dollars each year—plus the lives of firefighters and those who can’t evacuate fast enough, we have to be more careful when we camp....
