As if you needed another reason to like Matthew McConaughey, the Men’s Journal October cover star delivered hot turkey meals to first responders all around Houston on Sunday. The effort was a way to thank them for their service during Hurricane Harvey, which tore through the city in August 2017. He partnered with Wild Turkey to give out the meals, and master distiller Eddie Russell, who helped McConaughey develop his signature Longbranch whiskey, joined him in meeting police officers, firefighters, 911 operators, nurses, and others who helped the city recover from the destructive storm....

When the Roomba first arrived a decade or so ago, the “wow” factor was definitely palpable—but so was the “creepy” factor. How weird was it that this little robot rolled around your house all day, picking up after you? It wasn’t long before stories about the Roomba’s wonky tech and persnickety nature were common. But back then, it was brand-new. With any new gadget, there’s bound to be a learning curve....

Listen up, salad eaters: Spinach has two times the pesticide residue of other crops, while at least four different pesticides can be found on a single tomato, according to new guidance from the nonprofit Environmental Working Group (see the full list here).

The latest battle over public lands has erupted not in the arid West but farther north, in arctic Alaska. Late last week, the Republican-held Senate passed a budget resolution that could open 1.5 million acres of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) for future energy development, much to the protest of Senate Democrats and conservationists. The new resolution called for the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, chaired by Sen. Lisa Murkowski, to raise $1 billion over the next decade and created means for bills that seek to offset proposed tax cuts—like drilling in the ANWR—to pass without the Senate’s standard 60-vote threshold, essentially cutting out Democrats from future votes on energy and natural resources....

Why not do that for kayaks?...

While most people visiting Vietnam opt for Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh, we recommend bypassing the throngs of tourists in favor of Hoi An.

A campfire is a tool, but a bonfire is an event. By design, they are short-lived fires; typically, you don’t feed it after it starts, so it burns splendidly for a short time, shooting great tongues of flame toward the sky, and then collapses upon itself and dies.

Frenchman Coulee, in central Washington, is one of those places you visit and think, “How the hell does anything survive out here?” Desert canyons and low mesas cut through the rocky landscape. Wind whips sand eddies up off the dunes. It hardly ever rains. And a series of sheer basalt cliffs, although popular with climbers, makes traveling overland a nightmare. Of course, if you’re looking to test someone’s ability to stay alive for six days in the wilderness with few resources—natural or otherwise—Frenchman is a pretty good place to do it....

Tom Cruise has the need for speed—again.
