For any homeowner, a well-manicured lawn is a staple of the homeowning experience. Believe it or not, lawn mowing isn’t exactly straightforward and there’s a lot to it — that’s why a mowing 101 guide is so helpful. Of course, the right tools can make the job so much easier, which is why it’s good to keep a finger on the pulse of all of the best lawnmower deals.

Then, there is the choice to go with a gas mower or an electric one. If electric and efficient is more your style, Amazon is offering the Greenworks 40V 2-in-1 Push Lawn Mower, with battery and charger, for $230. That’s $69 off the normal price, and it includes free Prime shipping. Can’t beat that, especially when it comes with the accessories you’ll need.

The Greenworks 40V Cordless Electric Push Lawn Mower is a 16-inch system, with a lightweight cutting deck that can handle small to medium-sized yards. Ideally, it can cut up to half an acre effectively, before needing to recharge, which is about 45 minutes of total runtime. It comes with a battery and a charging system, but more are available if you want to pick up spares. A single battery will charge to full in just 120 minutes. The battery works with a host of additional tools from Greenworks if you ever pick up any other power tools or have other batteries available.

The lawnmower has a single-lever 5-position height adjustment system so you can fine-tune how high, or low, the cut truly is. It’s an easy push-button start system, and it needs no gas, no oil, and will not produce any emissions. It’s both more efficient and safer for the environment. It produces up to 50% less noise and vibrations than a gas mower, too. The “2-in-1” feature means it can be used to mulch and has a rear bag, which is also detachable if you don’t want to use it.

Normally $300, Amazon is offering the Greenworks 40V 16-inch Cordless Electric Push Lawn Mower, with accessories, for $229 plus free Prime shipping and delivery. That’s $69 or 23% off the full price, and it’s one of the better deals we’ve seen in a long while. If you’ve been on the fence about grabbing an electric system, this deal might throw you over. It can get those weeds creeping up the wood panels, too!

Pirelli unveils the Scorpion XTM AT, its most extreme all-terrain tire ever
Ultra-aggressive, advanced, and 3PMSF-rated, it's the pinnacle of more than 25 years of Pirelli tire design

Forget rooftop tents and hi-lift jacks and fancy LED light bars, there's arguably nothing more important to a properly kitted-out overlanding rig than a good set of tires. After all, your truck's tires are the only part of the vehicle that maintains constant contact with the ground. That's why you need a tire that balances easy, on-pavement driving with meeting the demands of more extreme off-road conditions. Enter: Pirelli's new Scorpion XTM all-terrain tire.

"XTM" stands for "Extreme" performance, so it's no surprise that this is Pirelli's most extreme all-terrain tire ever. It features ultra-aggressive styling, a high-void tread pattern, and more advanced technology that's purpose-built for truck and off-road enthusiasts looking to explore deep into the North American backcountry. The large-tread-block design extends into the upper sidewall for improved traction and durability. It's a design that excels in the gnarliest off-road conditions most overlanders are likely to encounter, such as mud, dirt, sand, or gravel. Plus, reinforced shoulder technology adds protection from obstacles, including sharp gravel and jagged rock overhangs. One especially clever feature is the Scorpion XTM's built-in "rock ejectors," which are designed to automatically shed rocks embedded in the tire's deep treads.

Should you go hiking in sandals? It depends
Hiking in sandals: When to do it and how to find the best fit
Man hiking in sandals

Have you ever trudged through a trail, feet sweaty from unbreathable shoes? I certainly have. Believe it or not, sandals aren't just for the beach. They're actually a legit hiking option if you have the right pair and use them in the right scenarios. Honestly, I'm more of a trail running shoe or hiking shoe kind of gal, but there are specific scenarios when I might be tempted to trade them for a pair of sandals. And there are times when wearing sandals while hiking makes sense and times when they don't. Here's everything you need to know about hiking in sandals and how to find the best pair for your hiking needs.
Here's when hiking in sandals makes sense
Warm and dry conditions

When I lived in Arizona, hiking with my hiking boots or even my precious trail running shoes was a bit uncomfortable. For one, warm and dry conditions left my feet feeling confined and, ultimately, gross. One of the best parts of the day was heading home and washing my feet. That's when I was first introduced to the idea of hiking in sandals. Sandals will keep your feet ventilated, letting sweat evaporate fast. You may even find that you get fewer blisters throughout the season. Just make sure that you apply sunscreen so you don't get an unintentional tattoo of your sandal straps.
Wet conditions
While there's nothing wrong with wearing good water-repellant shoes while hiking in wet conditions, they can get soggy and take forever to dry if you end up accidentally stepping in too deep a puddle. Sandals tend to dry much faster than hiking boots or sneakers, so bring them on trails where you can expect stream crossings or coastal paths.
Low-impact trails
If you're planning on going on a low-impact hiking trail, particularly a paved one, you won't need heavy-duty hiking shoes. Sandals will be lighter on your feet, and the trail is easier, so there's less of a need for support or protection.

Camping's popularity continues to grow, and outdoor enthusiasts are seeking less crowded solutions, from off-grid dispersed camping to luxury glamping. As a full-time traveler, I can attest that farm camping strikes the perfect balance between the two. I've camped in a lavender farm nestled in the California hills, an apple orchard in the heart of New England, and in an Airstream in Washington state's lush rainforest. These alternatives offer the natural respite of a campsite with the authentic charm of farm life.
Are you wondering how to find the perfect farm camping stay and what to expect once you get there? Here's everything you need to know to find and book the perfect farm-side experience.
