Image used with permission by copyright holder

It’s already looking like this summer is going to break the record books all across the country with high temperatures. Texas right now is an oven, with many areas preheating or soon to be close to the same temps. So, if you want to stay cool this summer, you’re going to need a little help from something like, say, an above ground pool or any one of the other pool types. Walmart is currently offering the Funsicle 14-foot Oasis Round Above Ground Pool with a SkimmerPlus Pump to keep the water clear and clean at an incredible discount. Normally $358, it’s yours for just $298, saving you $60. The pump alone is worth that much. Grab it while it lasts!

Why you should buy the Funsicle 14-foot Oasis Round Above Ground Pool

With your very own pool in your backyard, or front yard if you decide to put it there, it’s a great opportunity to test the debate — should guys wear a Speedo or not? Other than your choice of bathing suit, however, this pool is one of the more convenient solutions, because it comes with virtually everything you need. For starters, the inflated size is about 14 feet by 42 inches (deep) which is enough for quite a few people to swim and move around freely. The oval metal frame tubing gives better support than traditional PVC, plus it comes with a ladder, so you don’t have to hop over the sides every time you want to get in.

But most importantly, it includes the SFX1000 SkimmerPlus Filter Pump that cleans and filters the pool water to keep out algae and other nasties — that allows you to leave the pool water in without draining and filling every time you want to use it. Unlike kiddie pools, you can add some chemicals, and the pool will remain clean and ready to use even after a few weeks. That’s going to save you a lot of money on your water bill too.

The SmartConnect design means it’s super easy to put together as all of the pieces are meant to “click in” to each other. With a durable puncture-resistant liner — made of 3-layer polyester mesh — you don’t have to worry about leaks or major disasters. It comes with a repair patch kit, just in case.

You can grab this pool, have it set up and filled, and get ready to enjoy a cooler, more relaxing summer — and the design means you can jump in any time thanks to the pump. Your family will love it, and it’s on sale for $60 off at Walmart. That drops the price from $358 to $298, which is an excellent deal because the pump is included. The only thing you’ll have to buy is some chlorine and chemicals to keep the water clean, besides the water needed to fill the pool up. Hurry, this deal isn’t going to last all summer, and without the pool, you might not either.

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 Kōyō 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.

More than a name: Meet Eddie Bauer, the true-life explorer behind your outdoor brand
Clothing, Hat, Face

From the time I was a little man, I excitedly tugged at the shirt tails of my father and grandfather every time they left the house to do anything relatively outdoorsy. They would leave the house hauling gun cases, fishing poles, camping gear, hiking packs. The men of my life loved everything adventurous, and they would do it every chance they could. When I was big enough, I would be allowed to come with them. I got my own boots. I procured my own active wear that could resist the weather. I opened my own parka for Christmas. Not only was I now in the same boat with them, in the same tent with them, and in the same deer stand with them. I also wore the same brand as them. Eddie Bauer was their go-to, and it had become my go-to.

But what was it about that brand? What was it about the man behind the brand that became the man’s best friend in the wilderness? Well, here is what you need to know about the guy who ditched the work world to open an outdoor brand simply so he could go outdoors all the time. And made it possible for my grandfather, my father, and then me.
