"New York isn't real. This is real," says Jon Krogh, emphasizing the contrast between urban life and the rawness of nature in Greenland. He believes that city life is a fantasy, where people work for money that doesn't exist outside their imaginations. The experience at Nomad Greenland aims to reconnect visitors with the reality of the natural world.

King of the Hammers, now in its 20th year, has evolved from a small contest among friends to a major off-road racing event, drawing over 80,000 attendees.

I can still remember my first flight, in 2002. It was magical. I was working as a tour guide in Myanmar. I met a British balloon pilot called Phil, who had a spare place on a flight. He offered to take me, too.

GEHOcab's EDGE Explorer Trail looks less like something you'd find at an RV dealership and more like a structure designed for a remote research outpost, all hard facets, dark charcoal caps, and angular geometry that refuses to apologize for its size. The two-tone silver and black body reads almost monumental, and parked next to a RAM TRX or an F-150, it turns the truck into something closer to a tactical vehicle than family transportation.

The MK6 features a durable chassis based on an advanced suspension system that enables it to roll comfortably on rugged terrains and off-road destinations.

One of the most surprising things about van life is how convenient it is. For example, when we return from hikes, we can change clothes (and even shower) right at the trailhead.

The Skycamp 4.0 gets several technical updates, including a Duracore fiber-reinforced plastic shell designed for UV and temperature resistance, and BreathWeave high-density polycotton canvas that addresses condensation issues without heavy waterproof coatings.

When my neighbor Tom celebrated his 65th birthday last month, his kids threw him what they thought was the perfect party: comfortable chair, cozy slippers, and a stack of crossword puzzles. Meanwhile, three doors down, 68-year-old Margaret was booking her first skydiving lesson. The contrast struck me-why do we assume retirement means slowing down when some people are just getting started on their biggest adventures?

For some, it means camping inside their toned-up vehicles, and for others, it's to snuggle up in a towing mobile home at the end of the day's fun. In the latter category, there are choice and one that's really caught my attention is the new Wingcube.

Like it's the case with the other parts of the world; in South Africa too, teardrop campers are becoming adventurous but with a very contemporary approach and a high-ticket price. TrailPod, an outdoor adventure brand in Cape Town, is doing things differently to keep their generation of teardrop rigs closer to the good old past, while integrating features that make it completely modern and dependable.

On day five of an eight-day, 500-mile mountain bike race in Africa, Piers Constable found himself sprawled in the dirt for the second time. First he'd crashed on his left side, then on his right, until he was, in his own words, "muddied and bloodied," staring at a bike that was very much broken. He remembered a feed station a couple miles away and realized he had two choices: quit or run. He picked up the bike and ran.

When Kia revealed the PV5 WKNDR, it demonstrated the highly flexible and modular interior of an electric van, which could easily and efficiently be customized to maximize space and function. This idea is now translating - thanks for Sussex - into feasibility soon.

VelociRAX has applied its user-friendly bike-loading design ethos to a heavy-duty tray-style hitch rack. The trays appear to lock in place in the flat/horizontal/transport position and unlock to tilt down toward the passenger side of the vehicle. There is also an integrated loading ramp that slides out - and locks in place - from the end of each tray, making it easy to roll the bike up onto the tray.

You may dream of seeing the geysers of Yellowstone or the overwhelming greatness of the Grand Canyon, but chances are you have a handful of little wonders in your own backyard. State parks like Goblin Valley in Utah hold their own against the neighboring Arches National Park (or Canyonlands, for that matter), while Maine's Baxter State Park is arguably just as wild as the well-known Acadia National Park (Baxter doesn't even have running water!). Plus, state parks tend to be less crowded and more affordable-two things that bode well for overnight guests.

Ideal luxury motorhomes don't fuss about your adventure gear and supplies. Their primary focus there is a premium small home on wheels that may cater to the rugged roads, but leaves you guessing when you reach the fathomed wilderness. Canadian RV company, Leisure Travel Vans, is changing this notion with the newly revealed Unity TBX series that has a spacious pass-through cabinet to carry along a great deal of equipment you may need in your time outside of your house.

German brand RB Expeditions has created something that defies the rules with their custom 6×6 motorhome. Built on a MAN TGS chassis, this $1.8 million machine represents the pinnacle of go-anywhere luxury living. The six-wheel drive configuration makes it an exceptional off-roader across sand, mud, snow, and rock. The expedition-grade suspension allows this 12-ton vehicle to traverse terrain that would strand conventional RVs miles away. Ground clearance exceeds 16 inches, and the approach and departure angles are engineered for serious obstacles.

AllTrails, a hiking app with trail maps and reviews, dug into insights from their 90 million-plus members and team of trail experts to spotlight lesser-known places where the trail alone is worth planning a trip around. Their guide, Travel-Worthy Trails for 2026, spotlights eight unexpected destinations around the world where the trail is the destination.

"A self-funded film by Hunter Paull and David McMillan, produced by Hunt Cinema. A global collaborative film project showcasing like-minded crews and cultures that the journeyman David McMillan has met on his years of traveling the globe. COMING 2026" Featuring: David McMillan, Josh Bryceland, Matt Hunter, Ollie Hindley, Kade Edwards, Remy Morton, Matt Miles, Jonte Vink, Matteo Iniguez, Matt Begg,

I had trained for a full year to complete a self-supported bicycle tour from San Diego to Las Cruces, New Mexico. It was meant to be the next-to-last chapter in my coast-to-coast cycling journey - one more long stretch of road before the final piece fell into place. Thirty-four miles into the ride, it was over. A microfiber towel caught in my derailleur. A fluke. One of those things you never plan for and still struggle to explain afterward.

The World Traveler 22RB, as it's officially labeled (a nod to the 22-foot length and bed in the rear of the trailer), is new to North America after the model name debuted in Germany in August. As the RV industry continues to struggle in the U.S. after pandemic highs, Airstream seems to be introducing this trailer to court new buyers with a more affordable price point (starting at $63,800) and easy-to-tow design that may not require upgrading to a larger truck or SUV.

The key upgrades with these new units compared to the original/standard Jetboil stoves are the integrated pot supports and regulator valves that enable simmer control and incremental heat adjustment, expanding beyond the company's signature boil-water-as-fast-as-possible functionality.

A sudden weather change, a mechanical, a missed turn, or a momentary lapse in judgment can all turn a "quick ride" into a surprisingly long day. The good news? While some of those problems are big, the solutions are often small. A last-second weather check. An extra granola bar. A quick link and a zip tie that's been living in the bottom of your bag for the last five years. Little things can often be the difference between a perfect ride and a problem ride.
