Snow Peak knows how to make great outdoor gear. And not just serviceable, utilitarian camping gear like you’d find at your local Cabela’s — we’re talking some serious, hard-wearing, but beautiful in its simplicity camping gear. We’re huge fans of Snow Peak and we are not alone — the brand is a cult favorite nearly everywhere, from its home in Japan to the hills and forests of the American Pacific Northwest.

This month, Snow Peak added to its repertoire of outdoor cooking gear, apparel, tents, and convenient iron grill tables, a thinner, lighter (but just as durable and good-looking) Iron Grill Table Slim.

Made from stainless steel and natural teak wood, the Snow Peak has taken its larger, more fatherly Iron Grill Table and streamlined it for a far more portable and utilitarian iteration with collapsible legs for easy storage and removable inserts that allow for switching in and out of burners, barbecues, and cutting boards. Great for anything from car camping to picnics to hanging out in your own backyard, the IGT Slim offers a place to sit, cook, and commune in nature. And, while the price for this little table seems a bit on the hefty side, just remember that it will literally last your entire lifetime (or longer). You could pass the Snow Peak IGT Alim down to your grandson in 30 years and it will still be as functional then as it is today.

This accessory will pretty much take up your entire IGT Slim, but for barbecue bros around the country, that’s totally acceptable.

Who does James Bond work for? And is MI6 real?
James Bond Specter double breasted

We have some news on the movement of the next James Bond. According to reports, we are looking at the final four (we know of three). Jack Lowden (Slow Horses, Dunkirk), Callum Turner (Eternity, One Night Only), and Josh O’Connor (The Crown, Challengers) are all in the final running to portray the next 007. We also, allegedly, have a fourth, unannounced actor in the running. But of course we do. And since we have news and movement on the James Bond front, I started thinking about what the next movie will be about. That took me down a rabbit hole, and I landed on a question. What is MI6? James Bond’s employer is a shadowy government agency, like Jason Bourne’s Treadstone or Ethan Hunt’s Impossible Mission Force (IMF). But there is one major difference between them and the organization that signs 007’s paychecks.

His is real.

A toast to excellence: Don’t overthink lighting a cigar…but don’t underthink it either 
Face, Head, Person

When I first decided I was ready to try cigars for the first time, I was ready to jump right in and sit back to enjoy the experience. Then, something crazy happened. I couldn’t light it. It seemed so simple. Flame, meet cigar. It really couldn’t be that complicated. But I ran into a slew of problems. The wrong kind of flame, canoeing, an uneven burn, and the damn thing kept going out, causing me to restart the embarrassing process. So I reached out to my friends over at La Aurora to find out what I was doing wrong.

That is when I found out from their own John Gaglio that these issues are very common and there is no reason to be embarrassed. Instead, don’t overthink lighting your cigar. And don’t underthink it. Instead, try to use the following tips and enjoy the experience without shame.

Topgolf brings back John Daly to continue to “disrupt” the game
john daly

To the uninitiated, golf can feel like a stuffy game. There is a dress code, there is an etiquette, and you even have to be quiet. At a sporting event. For those of us who love golf (don’t get me wrong, I am a huge fan but believe it is called golf because the other four-letter words are taken), we recognize golf isn’t stuffy as much as it is steeped in tradition. But there has always been one man who shirked the shackles of the tradition and disrupted the game of golf with one of the most immaculate vibes in the sport, John Daly. With his drinking, smoking, wild pants, wilder mouth, and general who-gives-a-sh*t nature, he was everything golf wanted to keep out. Now, the game embraces him and his vibe, and Topgolf brought him in to continue the disruption.

I love the vibe at Topgolf. It’s a place where you can smash a golf ball, listen to music, have a drink, and enjoy yourself with friends and family. That’s my kind of golf. – John Daly
