So, you join the group, ride up, and head for the gates. But upon hitting the boundary line, the group often gets […]
When it comes to touring in the backcountry while splitboarding, a comfortable, snug-fitting backpack that keeps weight balanced is key. I have been testing the Osprey line of backpacks for years, and the Osprey Soelden 32L has officially earned its spot as one of my favorites. In fact, it recently made my roundup of “Must-Have Splitboarding Gear,” […]
Living in Jackson Wyoming footwear isn’t just about fashion; it’s about staying upright. We spend roughly five months of the year navigating snow, ice, and slush, so traction and warmth are non-negotiable.

This is our 4th Mokwheel review since 2023, and […]
Living up here in Wyoming, we take outdoor time seriously. Whether it’s hiking, hunting or just sitting out on the porch, we love watching the local wildlife. The only problem? Once the sun goes down, the show is usually over. I got a chance to change that by testing out the WARMTUYO Night Vision Goggles […]
For anyone who grew up with a love for the outdoors, especially out West or in California like myself, Smokey Bear is more than just a mascot – he’s an icon, a voice of wisdom, and a true classic American figure. We listen to what Smokey Bear says. So, when VERO Watch Company announced their […]

For years, I’ve been a creature of habit when it comes to snowboard shapes. My quiver has largely consisted of twin tips and directional shapes, always erring on the side of traditional lengths. Even when I hit the surf, I stick to classic shapes. So, it’s fair to say that the concept of a short, […]
