EVERY MORNING, Josh Wadley turns on a citizens band radio and rattles off a pitch: “Get to Exit 87 Barbecue. Breakfast, lunch, dinner; half rack, full rack, or pork plate; pocket change, loose change, no change, IOU—we’ll feed you. I’m the Barbecue Man at Exit 87, here till I die with a smoker by my side. Have mercy.” The sun hasn’t risen yet when Wadley, a convicted felon turned barbecue pitmaster, recites the spiel one January morning....
When most people think of origami, small folded paper animals are usually the first thing to come to mind. But origami is good for a whole lot more than cute decorations. Case in point: Oru, a kayak company launched in 2012 that makes folding watercraft. Today, the company released its latest folding kayak, the Inlet, and it illustrates that a foldable boat is definitely no gimmick—it might just be the future of paddling....
It started as a dip of low pressure over the Atlantic that gathered a loose circle of sluggish wind. Ruffled, the summer-warmed sea released more moisture as vapor and the pressure went down a bit further. The wind picked up, driving big waves and unleashing more moisture and heat. During the next few days, this chain reaction turned into an atmospheric buzz saw that spanned hundreds of miles: Hurricane Joaquin. As the Category 4 storm bore down on the Bahamas with winds peaking at 140 miles an hour, people evacuated and vessels raced for safety....

Experts have warned about not getting enough sleep. If you do fine on five hours, it may be due to a genetic mutation. University of California, San Francisco researchers found that people with a certain gene mutation sleep about two hours less than the rest of us (about five hours versus seven). The research, a followup to a study conducted back in 2009, found a genetic mutation that promoted wakefulness that was also shared by a group of lab mice....

Like many kids, she dreamed of visiting the Hawaiian Islands one day. In 2000, her family made a trip to the Aloha State and Hannemann’s love for the islands only deepened.

On Tuesday, March 12 President Trump signed S.47, the John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act. In doing so, he passed into law the largest public land legislation package in decades. The deal guarantees protections of local, state and federal property for 2.5 million acres of public lands and more than 500 miles of wild rivers. The Dingell Act is fantastic news for conservationists, those of us keen on the outdoors, and also for plain-old bi-partisanship, which one might say has been in short supply lately....
You may think that basking in a long, hot bath is simply a relaxing, feel-good thing. In fact, it can provide some similar benefits to exercise. Using blood tests, researchers at Loughborough University in the U.K. found that a hot bath raises the body’s temperature, like a workout does, which acts as a catalyst for the inflammatory response usually seen after an intense physical bout. 25 Expert Fitness Tips and Strategies Every Lifter Should Know...

Incorporate them into your workouts and in less than two months you’ll add an inch to your pipes....
About a year ago, British filmmaker Hannah Maia received an email from a complete stranger describing a summer canoe tripping program for young women in Canada. The random message described multi-week expeditions with wood-and-canvas canoes, traditional wannigan grub boxes, duffel bags and tumplines, in which young women traverse sprawling lakes, descend wild rivers and endure grueling portages, destined for Hudson Bay. The email captured a tribe of adventurers and experiences Maia had never heard of....

All gym rats have the same primary goals: Build muscle and burn fat. But melting away that pudgy layer to reveal the six pack you’ve worked so hard for requires more than logging time on a cardio machine—a helluva lot more, in fact. The prevailing formula for a long time on how much fat you’re going to burn was calories in minus calories out, based on your basal metabolic rate (BMR) and exercise efforts, explains strength and performance specialist Joel Seedman, Ph....
Before you even begin to think about the date, consider the subtle yet critical difference between dressing and wearing. This distinction is the single most important factor in looking great, no matter what your day’s plans are—date or not. The first one is simple (and we’re about to simplify it even further); well-informed sartorial selection is key. The latter notion, on the other hand, involves—quite literally—doing nothing: Dress well, then don’t think about your clothes until she takes them off....

When it comes to spring weather, there’s one thing you can count on: unpredictability. Blazing sun can quickly give way to chilly conditions—or worse. Dressing appropriately usually involves a lot of guesswork, and versatile layers are a must when venturing outside (even if you’re just walking to the post office). The new Astroman Sun Hoody from Outdoor Research falls squarely in that category. It’s a lightweight, breathable pullover that makes a great pick for sun protection and everyday shoulder season wear....
Who knows where the most memorable journeys are born. I once saw a slideshow in a northern Wisconsin gym about a Manitoba canoe trip that lead to an expedition down the Seal River and along Hudson Bay. I’ve had trips based on historical accounts from the Fur Trade era, others sprouted from mid-winter, cabin-fever, map-gazing fantasies where beer bottles weighed down the corners of topo quads. Others have been attempts to re-create water trails used by indigenous people, or some even launches from a single, compelling picture in a magazine story....
