One of the best parts about car camping is having the option to bring all the comforts from home, aside from the kitchen sink. Over time, gear companies have cooked up everything from portable pizza ovens to fireside rocking chairs, making the whole experience seem less and less like “roughing it.” However, the ability to bring almost any creature comfort from home to the campsite invites the complex dilemma of how to organize and transport it all in your car....

What will the year 2018 be remembered for? For gearheads, 2018 will be remembered as the year sport-utility vehicles went wild. In a few months, Lamborghini will launch its first SUV in decades, a $200,000-plus beast set to shred sand dunes, s-curves, and bank accounts. Jeep’s $100,000 Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, now rolling into dealers, uses its 707-horsepower engine to hit 60 miles per hour in a jostling 3.5 seconds. And then there’s the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio, which recently clocked the record time for a production four-door utility vehicle at the Nurburgring—with a time faster than the Lamborghini Gallardo, a lighter sportscar, with two fewer doors and seats....

Life is just a video game for Ryan Reynolds in the new film Free Guy—literally. As the first trailer for the Shawn Levy-directed film depicts, Reynolds’ Guy is just that: a guy in the background of a video game trying to live a normal life as chaos, bank robberies, explosions, and gun fights happen around him. Ryan Reynolds Is a Billionaire Vigilante in Michael Bay’s ‘6 Underground’ Trailer Read article...

When it comes to surf, sometimes anticipation be half the adventure. These are the roads that get us there. Photo: Courtesy of Cody Mcclain/Unsplash There has always been something inherently charming about the expectations of surf. Anticipating and arriving at a destination has weaved itself into surf culture. From a flight descending to a palm-lined isle in the middle of the blue ocean to the romantic images of a singlefin strapped to a van, the act of getting there is as much a part of surfing’s story as the actual waveriding....

Every athlete knows that a good nutrition plan is the key to success. While a well-balanced diet will help keep your body in top form, adding in a few supplements can help optimize performance, especially during the warm, summer months. When choosing which supplements are right for you, you’ll want to make sure they’re made from good, clean ingredients that are nutrient-rich – a key word to always look for is “superfood....

Whether it’s SUP surfing or SUP racing, competitive standup paddleboarding can be one of the most rewarding forms of paddling. It can also be one of the toughest to break into. Popular competitions like the APP World Tour and Pacific Paddle Games look intimidating to the entry-level competitor, but there are plenty of ways to gradually approach competitive SUP before moving up to the big leagues. With a little advice, taking on your first SUP competition can be much easier than it seems....

Intel: Packed size – 12” diameter x 1.5” thick; weight – 2 lb. 3 oz.; load capacity – 250 lbs.; price – $89.95; (www.thermarest.com). This one attracted me because of the cunning package it comes in— a frisbee-style disc container that holds the poles and fabric that makes the chair. Not as high as the other chairs in this review, which makes it perfect for things like outdoor concerts. In camp it is sturdy and comfortable, if a little more difficult to get out of....

But swapping snowboards for SUPs is exactly what they found themselves doing during an eight-day paddle in February through a remote archipelago between Guam and the Philippines.

Hearing how Brendan and Emmett Malloy grew up it would be more shocking if they didn’t become prominent surf filmmakers. The brothers were still in grade school when they started kicking it on the beaches of Southern California with kids who would become world-famous watermen, a few of which happened to be their cousins (Chris, Keith, and Dan Malloy). Epic waves were being caught. Epic fun was being had. Someone needed to capture it, so they picked up a camera....

We tend to think that big, stressful events (death in the family, divorce) are the ones most detrimental to our health. But the everyday ones matter just as much. In order to view the video, please allow Manage Cookies Researchers at the University of California, Irvine surveyed more than 1,000 people, asking them to document their daily stress caused by things like an argument, a work issue, or something bad happening to a friend, as well their physical activities, for about a week....

This story originally appeared on POWDER. Words by Julie Brown. Are you tired of standing in long lift lines on powder days? Does ski traffic ruin your day before you’ve even arrived at the resort? Do you need to retire from icy bumps because your knees are getting old and you’ve had one too many ACL reconstruction surgeries? Photo: Liam Doran Then you, my friend, should start skiing in the backcountry where fields of powder abound and crowds are thin (or… at least compared to ski resorts)....

Over three nights from February 9-12, splitboarders and environmental activists Jeremy Jones, Max Hammer, Tim Eddy, and photographer/rider Ming Poon visited a narrow stretch of mountains in northeast Nevada to ride deep, untouched powder and talk climate change with locals. They hope the low-impact backcountry journey will help bring awareness to global warming and showcase the importance of protecting public lands. Ming T. Poon The range targeted was the Ruby Mountains, a particular string of remote peaks reaching over 11,000 vertical feet, an area some call “the most beautiful place in Nevada....

Intrepid rock climber Alex Honnold is the star of the Oscar-winning documentary Free Solo, and rightly so: Climbing El Cap without any ropes or safety gear is a mind-boggling feat. But filmmaker Jimmy Chin deserves some credit, too—shooting the film from the side of a granite cliff while watching your friend tackle an incredibly dangerous climb is no small task, either. Now the spotlight is turning toward the man behind the camera....

Remember the recent and viral adage, “sitting is the new smoking?” Well, apparently there’s something even more sinister than sitting: standing. Wait, what? According to a new study published last week in the American Journal of Epidemiology, people whose jobs require them to stand (like chefs, bank tellers, and cashiers) are twice as likely to develop heart disease as those whose work is primarily seated. The research tracked more than 7,300 employed people who took part in the Canadian Community Health Survey over a 12-year period....
