Every man’s closet has at least some denim in it. Now, not every guy may own a denim jacket, but we’d be hard-pressed to find a guy that doesn’t have at least one pair of jeans in his closet. Chances are, you have more than just a solitary pair. Like potato chips, you can’t stop at just one. A great pair of jeans needs to be comfortable, but also needs to be functional....
Sparkling water tastes great, but it’s far from sustainable. We can’t exactly program our faucets to give us sparkling water whenever we crave a fizzy beverage . No, we usually get our fix from either a vending machine or a twelve-pack. Not only is it expensive, but all that plastic isn’t exactly environmentally-conscious. There’s a much simpler, way more Earth-friendly and altogeter, a way cheaper option: the SodaStream Fizzi. With the SodaStream Fizzi One Touch Sparkling Water Maker, there is always a refreshing bottle of sparkling water within reach....

Martin Miguel de Güemes International Airport, located at the foothills of the Argentine Andes, is a very long name for a very small airport. The place is so modest you might confuse it for a bus station, if not for the duty-free shops selling vodka by the gallon. When I arrived, there was almost nobody there, unless you count a few stray dogs and my driver, Juan, a sturdy cowboy leaning against his truck, chewing on the kind of coca leaves that are ground up to make cocaine....

A 17-year-old boy was deer hunting with his family on private property along the Sioux River near Akron, Iowa, when he heard rustling in the bushes. Jake Altena decided to investigate and discovered an uprooted tree. A moment later, a mountain lion emerged from under the fallen timber and threatened him, according to the Sioux City Journal and Des Moines Register. “I was about 15 feet away and a mountain lion poked his head out and it was looking at me dead in the eyes,” Altena told the Journal....
For some, simply entertaining the idea of staying in a hostel is worthy of a full-body shudder.

She came upon her future home-on-wheels on a whim, and living life on the road full-time just came together for her....
At around 1:30 p.m. on July 3, 2015, three men boarded a flight for life helicopter at St. Anthony Summit Medical Center in Frisco, Colorado. Patrick Mahany, 64, a former army pilot who had flown civilian medevac missions for 27 years, was at the controls. Flight nurses Dave Repsher, 45, and Matt Bowe, 32, sat behind Mahany in the cabin.

Binging on food—whether during a Sunday football showdown or during the holidays with the family—is never a great idea. Even if you try to offset the occasional burger splurge with some follow-up exercise or extra attention to the crudité plate, there’s no denying that a fatty food bomb can leave you feeling pretty awful. And, as it turns out, even a single cheat day’s worth of pigging out on pizza or sausage dip may be harming our body more than we thought, a new study has shown....

This article and video were produced in partnership with Sierra Nevada Brewing Company. Tucked up in the northwestern corner of South Carolina, along the North Carolina border, is one of the Southeast’s most beloved bodies of water: the 7,565-acre Lake Jocassee. Four pristine rivers feed into the man-made lake — the Whitewater, Thompson, Horsepasture, and Toxaway — and because Jocassee is located at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains, these rivers all cascade into the lake via spectacular waterfalls....
Harper Howell II, a bartender at New York City’s Dear Irving, will be the first to tell you his gig isn’t the spitting image of health. It’s not uncommon for bartenders to chase shots of tequila with espresso to get through a shift. And convenience is often the deciding factor when it comes to food. (How many bartenders do you think come to work toting a Tupperware of meal prep?)
