Credit Elon Musk’s futuristic Cybertruck with keeping the hype for electric trucks and utility vehicles at a fever pitch. A smattering of new electric vehicle offerings launched this year from the likes of Mercedes-Benz and Audi, joining the widening field of battery-electric options, and with more traditional SUV appearances, you won’t have to decide if you’re comfortable driving a monolithic truck that’s got sharper corners than the pleats on your grandfather’s slacks....

Although winter rain and snow have snuffed out wildfires in the U.S., the opposite is happening down under: Summer heat is baking Australia, and dangerous wildfires are raging. One hundred fires are currently burning in New South Wales, the country’s most populous state—and the state government has declared a seven-day state of emergency, the Los Angeles Times reports. “With extreme wind conditions, extreme hot temperatures, we have a good idea, a good sense, of where the most concerning areas are,” New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian told reporters....

Looks like chicken wings just made it onto Chris Jericho’s list. On the latest episode of First We Feast’s YouTube show Hot Ones, host Sean Evans interviewed the legendary WWE superstar while subjecting him to a series of increasingly torturous hot sauces. During the interview, Jericho is incredibly candid, explaining how he got into an unscripted vulgar spat with fellow superstar Neville, and his attempt at doing the “gallon challenge” (spoilers: There is vomit involved)....

Alex Honnold has become a name highly recognized both within and beyond the climbing community. His approach to summiting the most daunting cliffs with no ropes (also known as free soloing) has given him the designation of truly “fearless” by some experts, and landed him in the global spotlight last year after his ascent of El Capitan, a 3,000-foot climb in Yosemite National Park, with no safety gear. Honnold at Mt....

Wouldn’t it be so much easier to get a workout in at home instead of heading to the gym? Unfortunately, so many machines can be bulky and unwieldy, and take up a ton of space. If you live in an apartment—or just have limited space to work with—setting up an in-home gym can feel like a near-impossible feat. Luckily, we found a full-body workout system at Touch of Modern that takes up hardly any space....

Disney’s new streaming service, Disney+, launches on Nov. 12 with a treasure trove of classic and new content. The company announced “basically everything” in the lineup—619 titles in total—via Twitter on Oct. 14, one movie and TV show at a time. That’s one massive thread, and a lot of content to look forward to (and roll your eyes at). Here’s what’s in store. Watch Milo Ventimiglia Show Off His Disney Trivia Knowledge...

You know the drill, and if you’re like us, you know it all too well. You’re rushing out the door (already running late), and just as you perform the habitual “phone, keys, wallet” pat-down, you realize something’s amiss. Cue the mad dash from room to room, retracing every step in an attempt to find whatever it is that’s missing. Whether you’re forgetful, a bit careless, or just unlucky, Bluetooth gear trackers have arrived to bring this age-old conundrum to an end....

Fit folks live for benchmark numbers⁠—1RM, PRs, body fat percentage. Perhaps the most braggable stat available, though, is your VO2 max. Technically speaking, this is the maximum amount of oxygen you can utilize during exercise, but for all intents and purposes, it’s a marker of just how fit you actually are. “You want the biggest VO2 max as humanly possible, since this number defines how intense a workout your body can handle....

You’ve tried feeding your sourdough starter over and over again, and the damn thing won’t rise. You’ve put together so many jigsaw puzzles you’re starting to assemble them in your dreams. Perhaps you’re “experimenting with cocktails” and keep waking up with a hangover. Maybe it’s time to try something new. PSA: These Pro Skiers Want You to Stay Home and Flatten the Curve Read article Fresh from Finland, this creative ski edit is one of the best things we’ve seen come out of quarantine....

We dropped by the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas to get some insider tips on making a trippy, color-changing cocktail. Here, Mariena Mercer, chef mixologist at the Chandelier Bar, demonstrates how to make one of their most popular libations inspired by Alice and Wonderland: We’re All Mad Here. Gin is infused with butterfly pea flower, which has a low pH. When it hits citrus, the acid changes the color from blue to purple to pink....

If you plan on visiting the wondrous Havasupai Falls in Arizona this year, it’s going to cost you a bit more than it previously has. According to AZ Central, “The Havasupai Tribe, which oversees the remote corner of Grand Canyon that is home to Instagram-famous Havasu Falls, Mooney Falls and Beaver Falls, has significantly raised its permit and camping fees for the 2018 season that begins Feb. 1 and runs through November....

Longboards and shortboards, fun boards and foil boards. Everyone has their own opinion about which SUP surf craft reigns supreme, of course, we’d just say to ride them all. Down in Oz, SUP surfer Jackson Close presents his case for the SUP longboard. Equal parts shredding and soulful, Close rips critical turns with precision and then finds his perch on the nose of the board. Enjoy. The article was originally published on Standup Paddling...

Research on female pleasure today is a step up from the dark, not-so-old days when the topic was taboo to study, wildly misunderstood by many, and often fully discounted — so much so that anatomists didn’t map the full shape of the (actually larger than you’d think) clitoris until 2005. Yet ignorance of female bodies and pleasure is still common, even amongst women and often to harmful effect. Research on this remains so stunted (and outpaced by studies on male sexuality) that there’s still debate on what defines a female orgasm or what the g-spot is....

The beauty of SUP surfing is that it’s fun, no matter what the waves look like. Even if it’s windy with nothing but crumbly, two-foot dribblers, you’ll still manage to get your fair share of waves and have fun. Of course, we prefer to ride perfectly groomed waves that will go forever. That’s exactly what happens in this edit from the Gold Coast of Australia. Currumbin Alley is renowned as a SUP surfer’s paradise for a good reason: endless rights that easily provide 150-meter rides....

When it comes to food and nutrition, I’m always fascinated to learn exactly how what we eat benefits us. But weighing nutritional facts gets a bit more tricky when looking at two extremely similar foods, like acaî and pitaya. Both are fruits that have purported health benefits, but is one superior to the other? I put them to the test to understand the differences in how they taste, how they affect our overall health and the individual benefits that each bring to the table....

What is camping without a fire? If you’ve ever spent a relaxing night outside without the warm crackle and hypnotic dance of flame, you know. It is not the same. It’s just sleeping on the ground. Expedition Planning 101: Gear Decisions Read article And if you’ve ever spent much time running rivers and exploring out West, you know the lengths you’ll go to avoid this cold and dark overnight downgrade.

By Jim Baird Tori, Buck and I pass the Porcupine River’s amazing “Eye Cave”, and take some time to check it out. I then line a heavy rapid, and go over some key pointers to keep in mind while lining a canoe. I also rig up a smoking teepee, and smoke a Pike in camp before heading into the Porcupine’s formidable lower canyon. We proceed with caution and the canyon was dubbed “Dead Man’s River” by Dene natives paddlers in days of yore....
