Patrick Cooper was running the Robert Spurr Memorial Hill Climb in Chugach State Park in Alaska when he encountered a black bear on the trail. The 16-year-old runner knew he was in trouble and texted a family member to say that he was being chased by a bear shortly after 12:30 in the afternoon.

But it’s UFC fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov introducing us to a decidedly more extreme variant of the therapy: wet cupping. In traditional “dry” cupping, “cups are used to place suction over your skin, tissues, and muscles to create a bruise, almost like a big hickey,” says Charles Kim, M.D., a pain management specialist and assistant professor in the Departments of Rehabilitative Medicine and Anesthesiology at NYU Langone Medical Center....

It’s fire season, and the West is ablaze. The 14 wildfires that are currently burning in California have forced thousands to evacuate while about 5,000 firefighters work to control the blazes running rampant across the state. Fires in Utah, New Mexico, and Colorado also have the Forest Service and fire departments out working tirelessly to contain the blazes—but efforts are being thwarted by a new obstacle this year: drones. “In the past month just in southern California alone we’ve had to ground aircraft in three different instances,” California Fire Battalion Chief Mike Mohler says....

Records, like rules, are meant to be broken. With Strava, there are more records to break than ever. To narrow down the options, we contacted the social media site to compile a list of the records its huge user base of runners and cyclists are looking to beat. Segments were chosen based on “popularity, days since record set, and geographic diversity.” Some of these records are several years old and may not be able to stand for much longer, so have at it....

This story first appeared on POWDER. Words by Jack Foersterling. Even on your strict ramen and PBR diet, money is tight.

Lucky for you, it’s summer — the perfect time of the year to find used gear. To avoid getting screwed, follow these tips on how to assess used gear to get the best deal....

In a perfect world, you wouldn’t have to choose between the best foods at the holiday party buffet. Deciding between pumpkin pie and apple pie is just not a moral conundrum we would ever want to have to confront. It’s like picking between your favorite newphews. Or, like, Batman and Superman. But let’s say you did have to choose your cheat meals wisely, and you were confronted with presenting at least a little rationale for your decision....

What happens after a near decade of marriage ends in divorce? Or, more importantly, what happens when that divorce is splashed across tabloids and your ex-wife re-marries? In his documentary, Monogamish, filmmaker Tao Ruspoli seeks to answer these questions and examine his relationship with romantic and sexual exclusivity.

These days, there’s probably no diet more fascinating (or controversial) than the high-protein, high-fat, pretty-much-zero-carb keto diet. Over the past five years or so, a steady drumbeat of reviewed scientific studies has extolled the many benefits of a high-fat diet—easing gout, dropping fat, improving energy. Now, a new keto-focused study (in mice) from the University of California, Davis, has also shown that the low-to-no-carb diet can lead to longer life and more strength, along with cognitive enhancements....
