Introducing: 'SCORKL 2.0 - Electric'

Unlike its predecessor, the SCORKL 2.0 Electric boasts a significant enhancement—an electric air refill system that can be seamlessly integrated into various power sources. This innovation eliminates the constraints of traditional SCUBA air compressors, which are bulky and costly. Now, with the SCORKL, divers of all shapes, sizes, and budgets can explore the depths of the sea.

David Hallamore, the driving force behind SCORKL, comes from a deep-rooted passion for the water. He envisions the SCORKL Electric as a catalyst for sharing the beauty of water with everyone he touches. Growing up as a swimmer, diver, sailor, and more, Hallamore believes in sharing this indescribable freedom with the world, regardless of age or experience.

“I love the water, and the feeling of breathing underwater is truly incredible. My dream is to give everybody else the opportunity to experience that. SCORKL makes it possible—regardless of age or experience, anyone can now feel that indescribable freedom,” he said in a statement.

SCORKL’s mission of making underwater freedom accessible to everyone takes a monumental leap with the SCORKL 2.0 Electric. The Electric Compressor simplifies the process to an unprecedented degree, allowing users to more easily explore, clean hulls, untangle propellers, relocate anchors, or other underwater tasks. Whatever you’re doing, the SCORKL Electric Compressor will revolutionize how you approach underwater adventures.

Unlike scuba diving gear, Hallamore explained that the Electric Compressor isn’t just lightweight and portable but also versatile. It can be plugged into a wall outlet, connected to a boat or car battery, or even powered by the SCORKL Battery Pack. This flexibility means that underwater enthusiasts can experience the thrill of underwater exploration without being tethered to dive stores or stationary setups.

Are you into extreme hiking? Then you're in the right place to check out the most dangerous spots to trek
A view of Huayna Picchu and Machu Picchu in Peru

Hiking involves nothing more than going on or off the trail with your hiking boots (partnered with hiking socks) until you reach your final destination for recreational purposes. However, that doesn't mean it's easy. When you're on a treacherous trail that's considered one of the most dangerous hikes in the world, you'll need a healthy dose of fear, maybe some hiking snacks, and a desire to push yourself to the edge -- as long as you don't fall over it.

Here are eight trails to get the adrenaline pumping -- and perhaps make you hold on for dear life.

The 20 best U.S. national parks to explore now
There are a lot of national parks to see, so here's a list to start with
Hidden Lake, Glacier National Park

Soaring mountains, dune-covered deserts, glacial lakes, primeval forests, and red rock canyons set the stage for memorable adventures in splendid U.S. national parks — "America’s best idea," as filmmaker Ken Burns rightly described it. You could spend years exploring the countless wonders of these cherished reserves, but if time is limited, then focus your attention on the best of the best. Below is our admittedly subjective list of the top 20 parks, presenting a wide variety of landscapes and locales.
National Park Pass programs
Before we get into the list of U.S. national parks, let's cover how you can save money if you're going to be visiting several of America's best national parks. The National Park Pass is a program offered by the National Park Service that allows entrance to many federal recreation sites across the country. Depending on your needs, there are different types of passes to choose from.

Annual Pass: This pass costs $80 and is valid for one year at over 2,000 federal recreation sites managed by six different agencies, including the National Park Service. This is a good option if you plan on visiting several parks throughout the year.
Senior Pass: Citizens 62 and older can purchase a lifetime Senior Pass for $80. It grants the same access as the annual pass.
America the Beautiful Pass: This pass costs $80 and covers entrance fees for a single vehicle, including rentals and RVs, at national parks and federal recreational lands for 12 months.
Military Pass: Veterans get a free lifetime pass to national parks and other federal recreational lands. Here are some additional things to keep in mind about national park passes:

I never go to the coast without this jacket from Royal Robbins
This anorak is cozy and built for adventure
The author wearing the wearing the Royal Robbins Merced Anorak on the Oregon coast.

Whenever I head out to coastal Oregon, I never know how to dress. No matter how often I check the forecast, the weather often turns out to be the exact opposite of what I've prepared for once I've made the hour-and-a-half drive out to the Pacific. If I wear a heavier jacket for a grey, foggy hike through one of the area's many state parks, it'll warm up as soon as I arrive, and I'll be drenched in sweat after a mile or two. If I'm hoping for a sunny walk around Cannon Beach, the rain will come through and the wind will whip up, leaving me running back east to chase the sun.

But this spring, I found a solution in a jacket that's built for all of these situations and then some.
Why I love Royal Robbins' Meced Anorak Jacket
This Merced Anorak from Yosemite Valley-inspired outfitter Royal Robbins has quickly become my go-to outdoors jacket. This lightweight, nylon windbreaker keeps me comfortable in just about any weather out in the Pacific Northwest. It's thick enough to be a decent lightweight cover-up in cool temperatures but still thin enough to not get too heated when the sun comes out. The wind resistance this half-zip provides is next-level compared to any other jacket I own — no matter how the wind comes off the waves, I know it'll never chill me to the bone.
