Why you should buy the Tekto A2 Badger Series

Tekto // A2 Badger Walkthrough

This multi-purpose knife and tool from Tekto is equipped with a bevy of extra features besides the automatic and durable blade. For example, the oversized lanyard hole allows you to attach a wide range of components, including large cords and paracords. The added size of the lanyard hole makes it easier to manage in low-light conditions or while wearing gloves when your fingers and hands are somewhat constricted. It’s also equipped with a glass breaker and has an ambidextrous pocket clip, allowing you to match it with your dominant hand.

But the real star of the show is the Titanium-Coated D2 steel blade, in a fine-edge tanto-style, with its automatic deployment and retraction mechanism. The contoured button makes it easy to control the blade, while the well-designed grip gives you the stability you need during handling. It’s compact and lightweight, perfect as an outdoor tool or for regular carry. There’s also a built-in safety mechanism to ensure the blade won’t open without your express control, eliminating worries about it being accidentally triggered in your pocket or bag.

Speaking of carrying the knife, it’s legal in California. In most places, it’s legal to carry pocket knives, including multi-tools, Swiss Army knives, utility knives, and most knives with blades smaller than 2 inches. Of course, there are still some places where it’s illegal to carry them, so you’ll want to reference the laws in your particular region or state to make sure. However, the A2 Badger OTF Mini is legal in California, allowing you to confidently carry it in that state and states with comparable laws.

For the next 48 hours (starting May 6), you’ll get 15% off when you use code MAN15 at checkout. That’s a great deal, but if you’re interested, you’ll want to act fast. It will be over before you know it.

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.

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.
