Coleman National Parks Centennial Series

Our National Parks are celebrating one hundred years of connecting Americans with our wild lands, so what better way than to visit a Park than a late-summer road trip? Coleman has brought back some classic designs to honor the heritage of our National Parks with the Coleman National Parks Centennial series line of camping stoves and accessories. We couldn’t be more excited to take some of this gear and hit the highway.

FyreKnight Stove, $150

Coleman FyrekKnight Stove
In 2015, Coleman intriduced their Hyperflame design to their classic briefcase stoves (we love them for some good basecamp cooking). The all new FyreKnight incorporates Hyperflame with classic National Park colors and the Centennial logo. It also features rugged bumpers so it won’t slip when you’re cooking on a tailgate or picnic table. We recommend augmenting it with one of Coleman’s Cast Iron Griddles ($35) so you can really step up your campsite breakfast game.

Steel Belted Cooler, $200

Coleman Steel Belted Cooler
This 54-quart cooler conjures up some of our best childhood camping memories. While it looks just like dad’s old Coleman cooler from the 1960s, the stainless steel body is decidedly more durable for long hauls in the back of a truck. It’s large enough to hold 85 cans of your favorite beverage, and tall enough to fit upright two-liter bottles. Rated to hold ice for up to four days, this mighty little cooler can handle all your long weekend needs.

NorthStar Lantern, $65

Coleman Northstar Lantern
The NorthStar is a refinement of Coleman’s decades-long best selling lantern line. The National Parks Centennial livery makes this a special piece to bring along. Its push button ignition takes the guess work out of turning the gas just right for getting it lit with matches. A maximum 1540-lumen brightness means your campsite will be well lit long into the night as you prepare dinner and enjoy a few campfire cocktails.

Jeremy Allen White in Deliver Me From Nowhere

Music biopics are all the rage these days, and Bruce Springsteen is the latest icon to get the treatment. The first trailer for Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere sees The Bear star inhabiting the role of The Boss. The film is based on Warren's Zane's book of the same name, which focuses on the period when he was making his 1982 album Nebraska.

The film is directed by Scott Cooper, who also directed Jeff Bridges in Crazy Heart. In the trailer, we see White embodying Springsteen as he sings "Born to Run," and we also get a lengthy monologue from Jeremy Strong's Jon Landau as he explains why Springsteen feels the need to make this album.

Tony Soprano vs. Walter White: Who is the ultimate antihero?
TV's biggest heavyweights duke it out for the antihero crown
Breaking bad season 4 screen shot

Sports fans often debate between two heavyweight legends. For basketball, it's LeBron James and Michael Jordan. Switching to tennis, you have Roger Federer fans and Rafael Nadal diehards. Debates like these are ingrained in the culture of athletics, but TV fans have their own version of this sparring match.

Tony Soprano from The Sopranos and Walter White from Breaking Bad are the two characters who still send shockwaves through every drama in the 21st century. These men were the perfect mix of good and evil. They navigated family life and the criminal underworld with cunning intelligence and ruthless risk-taking. Every show with morally gray characters at the center owes its storyboard to Walter and Tony, but which character deserves the antihero crown? This is Tony Soprano vs. Walter White for all the marbles.
Who was the more complex character?

Learn how to smoke a pipe the proper way with our guide for beginners
Let us show you the classy way to smoke a pipe
Packing a pipe

Pipe smoking is the most aesthetically distinguished way to enjoy tobacco, but you lose the classy effect if you don’t know how to smoke a pipe properly. Smoking a pipe has become a lost art, and these days, most people who engage in pipe smoking do so to achieve a sense of nostalgia. Perhaps your grandfather enjoyed a puff now and again paired with a good stiff whiskey, or maybe your goal is to emulate a pipe-smoking artist.

I know that I enjoy a good puff on a pipe now and then, and knowing the right way to enjoy a pipe has made the experience much more pleasurable for for me. Whatever the case, if you intend to take up the time-honored tradition of unwinding with a pipe like me, you should learn how to smoke a pipe the right way. And smoking a pipe is very different than smoking a cigar (except you shouldn't be inhaling either).
