Henry Cavill is a huge fan of motorcycles. Though you don’t need us to tell you that. Just watch him in this behind-the-scenes video from his August 2018 Men’s Journal cover shoot. The theme of the shoot centered around Cavill, a cherry red Ducati, and the stunningly scenic Valley of Fire National Park—the ultimate motorcycle road trip, “which I think I’m going to do now,” Cavill says.

Chances are you’ve got a Leatherman tool somewhere. Maybe it’s in your backyard shed or your car’s glove box or, perhaps more likely, in that catchall kitchen drawer, next to the triple-A batteries and rubber bands. It’s not just a fixture in the lives of men. It’s also a pop-culture mainstay, appearing in A Quiet Place, Speed, Battlestar Galactica, even in Tom Cruise’s hand in Oblivion. The Leatherman resonates for a million reasons but also for one: It’s a symbol of Americana, that rare, functional totem with the durability to be passed down from father to son....

Wine in the U.S. is a bit like fashion: We tend to mystify it, rather than demystify it. Nobody knows that quite like wine expert Ken Maguire. As the proprietor of Fox and Hound Wines and Spirits in New Paltz, NY, Maguire knows how the American habit of putting wine on a pedestal can be detrimental to his business. “In the rest of the world, wine is just food—it’s just part of life,” he says....

Check out this quick-hit rundown of the basic steps to unwrap a pinned canoe, presented by Boreal River Rescue and Five 2 Nine productions: Make sure everyone is safe; get to the boat quickly and safely, making sure to approach it from downstream; attach a control line; and pull.

If the last time you ate coconut was in a fun-size Mounds bar pulled from a trick-or-treat bowl, it’s time to revisit the fruit. As with avocados, the knock on coconuts was a high fat and calorie profile. Now we know that those are assets. “Coconut is a source of plant-based fat, and fat can promote satiety,” says Katherine Patton, a registered dietitian with the Cleveland Clinic’s Center for Human Nutrition....

The kettlebell, more commonly known in Russia as “Girya,” is one of the most misunderstood tools in fitness today. When used properly, it’s lethal for melting fat, building muscle, and rapid improvements in conditioning. Done incorrectly, it can result in injury. When using kettlebells for fat loss, the first exercise to learn is “the swing”. The swing is one of the best exercises for rapid fat loss and powerful development of the hips and posterior chain (hamstrings, quads, and glutes)....

If you’ve ridden a personal watercraft (PWC) — often called jet-skis after Kawasaki’s pioneering model — you know that they’re a fun, fast, and furious way to play on the water. But all that fun typically comes with a few notable downsides, the largest being gas-powered engines make PWC’s earsplittingly loud and a significant source of pollution, both of which have led some authorities to ban them. All that may change, thanks to an innovative new PWC from Free Form Factory....

Several studies show that changing your diet alone has a bigger impact on losing weight than just exercise. But the expense and time it takes to prepare a meal can make it difficult to stick to a plan. As a result, meal-delivery services have become increasingly popular. One service, Trifecta, stands out because of its focus on goal-oriented nutrition, featuring options for an array of diets, including Paleo and keto. While Trifecta is a great choice for athletes, it was founded to help fight the obesity epidemic....
