If you want to keep things minimal — which is great if you’re attending an outdoor music festival, for example — Best Buy is hosting a sale on a Wakeman 2-Person Dome Tent. For $55 off, bringing the total price to $25 with free shipping, you can grab a super reliable tent that’s easy to set up. It even comes with a rain-proof fly and carry bag. You don’t want to miss this one!

Looking at the best gear for a good night’s sleep outdoors the first thing you’ll notice is that you need shelter — a tent. It keeps you dry, warm, and no matter how well you’re bundled it ensures you’re safe and snug under some cover. This two-person tent from Wakeman is a bright orange, which makes it easy to spot. It also has a large D-style door that is easy to open and provides plenty of space for you and a companion to climb in and out. It works well to vent out the inside of the tent too when you want some fresh air.

The dual-layer door is composed of zippered fabric on the outside and an inner screen to fend off bugs while still allowing for good airflow. It comes with 2 fiberglass poles that are easy to assemble and prop up the tent with, but just as easy to take down when you’re ready to move on. The entire tent is made of 190T polyester and fiberglass material so it’s quite resistant, even to moisture, and durable. It comes with a rain-proof fly and carry bag which you can use to store the tent in the off-season or lug it around when you’re backpacking in the wilderness.

Best Buy is currently offering the Wakeman 2-Person Dome Tent for $25 with free shipping or in-store pickup. Normally $80, you’re getting a total of $55 off which is an awesome deal. Outdoor folks do not want to pass up this sale!

A long-awaited reopening in the Smoky Mountains is finally here

Great Smoky Mountains National Park repairs a culvert and more at this favorite hiking spot

Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Ever since the devastation of Hurricane Helene, Great Smoky Mountains National Park has slowly but surely been reopening sections of the park following reconstruction efforts. The Cosby Area, which is a popular place for visitors to hike, camp, and picnic, is next on the list. As of May 12, 2025, the Cosby Area has officially reopened following the completion of a culvert replacement under Cosby Entrance Road.

This is one of many rehabilitation projects in the area aimed at protecting aquatic species and managing water flow, since flood damage has been a major concern. Heavy rainfall, flooding, and recent debris buildup have heightened risks in the area.

Top attraction at Sequoia National Park finally reopens after 4 years

Sequoia National Forest opens the Crystal Caverns after 4 years of closure

Crystal Cave at Sequoia National Park

Crystal Cave, which is Sequoia National Park's most popular attraction since the park's opening in 1940, will finally reopen for guided tours on May 23 after four long years of closure. These closures were due to several consecutive natural disasters, including the 2021 KNP Complex wildfire, as well as 2022 and 2023 winter storms which brought heavy snow, flooding, and landslides.
“The opening of Crystal Cave is a big step forward in disaster recovery for Sequoia and Kings Canyon,” said Clay Jordan, Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks superintendent. “We’re excited to be able to reopen this incredible attraction to visitors and encourage people to enjoy all of the beauty and wonder these parks have to offer.”

Restoration efforts have been extensive near the Giant Forest, where Crystal Cave resides. The Sequoia Parks Conservancy replaced several power lines, stabilized roads, and removed almost 3,000 hazardous trees, with 2,000 more to go.

Do golf balls go bad? Here’s how to know when it’s time to toss them

Sketchy golf ball? Here's how to see if it's still playable

Golf ball near the hole

Maybe you've found a box of old golf balls in your garage, or an unclaimed one out on the fairway. You might be wondering, do golf balls go bad? Modern golf balls are actually pretty robust, lasting as long as five or ten years or more without significant degradation, but it's always good to check. Golf balls can degrade over time, and the signs aren't always obvious. Here's everything you need to consider when teeing up with old golf balls.
How to tell if your golf balls are bad

Look for structural damage
The first thing to look for is structural damage. If your golf balls have visible scuffs, cuts, or cracks from play, they aren't going to serve you well out on the fairway. These deformities, even if they are small, can affect the aerodynamics during flight. You might be okay with very minor dings, but use your best judgment.
Checking the health of the core
If your golf ball has no structural damage, now it's time to check the health of the core. I like to give them a gentle squeeze to see if they are firm and consistent all the way around. A bad one will feel softer or even squishy in places. Then, gently bounce the golf ball on a hard surface and compare it to a new one. If it bounces almost as high, that means that it's likely still good.
The saltwater test
Epsom salt isn't just great for getting rid of sore muscles. A while ago, Bryson DeChambeau made some waves for his creative method for testing the balance of his golf balls. Golfers have been doing this for a while, but he went on to win the U.S. Open with this golfing hack.
