I spent a few nights with the Akaso Sight-300 and came away fairly impressed. My previous experiences with night vision have been with very high-end scopes, so I wasn't sure what to expect on something that costs several thousand dollars less.

I do not envy the judges of the Natural Landscape Photography Awards. Now in its fifth year, it's attracting some outrageously talented lenspeople, and I'm having a hard time even narrowing down which of the six shortlisted photographers of the year for 2025 I like best.

This was my first time jumping into laser engraving, so I went in as a complete noob. I have a fair bit of 3D printing and Cricut experience, so I figured laser engraving would be a snap. Turns out, it is.

While we've known for some time that obesity affects the brain, scientists have found that, more importantly, it's where you carry it that matters. And it's the deep visceral fat around organs that has the biggest impact on aging your brain, affecting areas of reasoning, memory and processing speed.

The Jeep Wrangler has always been the SUV equivalent of a pair of hiking boots: loud, clunky, and uncomfortable on the sidewalk, but the benchmark for off-road once off the pavement. The 2025 Wrangler Rubicon 4xe adds an electric motor to the mix, which has some surprising benefits.

Out of the Big 3 US automakers, "Chrysler" is definitely the name that doesn't belong in a conversation about RVs and overland campers. Its siblings Jeep and Ram, sure, and competitors Ford and GM both offer RV-ready trucks and vans, but the actual Chrysler badge? No. That said, Chrysler was the one to introduce a new concept camper van at this year's Overland Expo Mountain West. The Grizzly Peak is a vision for a ruggedized everyday MPV that's as ready to camp on a remote canyon rim as it is to shuffle the kids off to baseball practice and dance lessons.
