Airstream already makes some of the most sought-after travel trailers in America. So when it announces an ultra-exclusive special edition collab with two of the country’s most recognized Western brands, it’s hard not to take notice.

The limited-edition RV, officially dubbed the Airstream Stetson + 6666 Special Edition Travel Trailer, elevates the brand’s already luxurious design with a healthy dose of American Frontier panache. That includes “classic ranch motifs, historic artwork, and tooled leather accents, all housed in the iconic Airstream aluminum shell,” says Airstream president and CEO Bob Wheeler. The exterior features subtle, tasteful touches that combine heritage elements from both Stetson and Four Sixes Ranch. Weathered metal accents, a Stetson cowboy hat on the screen door, a custom red-striped power awning, and a red “belt” around the belly of the trailer all hint at a wholly unique design.

The interior is similarly appointed with a premium, Western-inspired fit and finish throughout. The black-stained oak dinette is a focal point, as is the large, hammered-copper apron-front kitchen sink. An overstuffed leather couch and leather headboard anchor the living area and bedroom, respectively, and pioneer-themed woven window coverings surround the space. Vintage Stetson elements, including artwork, custom pillows, and embossed logos, add plenty of cowboy panache.

True to Airstream‘s luxury roots, the 27-foot travel trailer is well-appointed with a long list of standard features and tech, including a robust, 2.4-kWh lithium-ion battery bank tied to a 2,000-watt inverter and 300 watts of rooftop solar. An optional rear hatch with a sliding screen is available to provide panoramic views of whatever amazing campsite you’ve found for the night. Plus, the floor plan offers the versatility to accommodate solo travelers, couples, or even a family of four.

Uncompromising: Ball and Buck’s collaborations with bestselling author Jack Carr are what outdoor retail dreams are made of
Jack Carr

The steam was how I knew it was done. Making food over an open flame feels different than making it on the stove at home. There is a feeling of ancient skill, an ability to survive on very little. You have dispensed with the comfort of the modern world and taken yourself back to the way ancient man made their food over a flame with wood gathered from the forest and minimal ingredients. At least, that is how it feels until I use my modern multitool to flip the steak on the cast iron skillet I placed over the fire I made with a modern lighter. Look, I am all about remembering who we used to be, but that doesn’t mean I want to dispense with ALL the comfort or the tools of today. Camping is one of the last activities of the modern family where you can leave all screens behind. And when I hit the woods, I like to go all out with something that will last me. Quality. Ruggedness. Dependability. Things that keep me taken care of. That is why I love Ball and Buck.

Something else I like to do when I go out there is read. Sure, it could be anything from a military memoir to instructions on how to make a steak in a cast iron skillet over an open flame, which may or may not be more done than it should be. But recently, it has been Jack Carr. The Fourth Option hit the shelves this summer, and it was one of the best books of the year. I love his work, so imagine my surprise when I discovered that he has an entire collection with Ball and Buck.

I tried the Yozma IN 10 Pro electric dirt bike, and it was nothing like riding an e-bike

I’ve spent plenty of time riding e-bikes, but I’d never ridden an electric dirt bike before. When I had the opportunity to try the Yozma IN 10 Pro, I was curious to see how the two would compare. As it turns out, they’re completely different experiences. The IN 10 Pro is fast, surprisingly loud, and considerably more powerful than anything I’d ridden before.

I didn’t push the bike anywhere near its advertised top speed of 50 mph, and I didn’t need to. Even at lower speeds, riding the IN 10 Pro was a lot of fun. Between the powerful acceleration, responsive steering, and the way it handled gravel and dirt, there was plenty to enjoy. And despite all that power, the ride was surprisingly comfortable, even over uneven ground. It didn’t take long for me to understand why people love riding dirt bikes.

Arc’teryx x BEAMS: The blend of Alpine tech and Tokyo style
Arc'teryx x Beams

The new Arc’teryx x BEAMS collection celebrates the brands’ 25-year collaboration and the blending of technical function with street-savvy style. The line highlights a re-creation of the 1998 Arc’teryx Theta hardshell, a Gamma softshell jacket, and Jogen bouldering pants. All come in the signature KĹŤyĹŤ color palette, modeled after Japan’s autumn leaves. 

I wore the Gamma Jacket and Jogen pants during the fall changeover in Virginia’s picturesque Shenandoah Valley, testing for warmth, wind resistance, and style. Here’s my take.
