I have wanted this Coleman Camp Oven since I first realized it existed years ago.

I love to bake. I have cast iron and know how to bake bread inside of a dutch oven, but more often than not, I am not in a position where I can do that while out adventuring.

While this oven isn’t made for backpacking, it can certainly work for emergency preparedness, RVing and car camping.

One really nice thing about this oven is that it folds down so it can store pretty much anywhere.

It’s very easy to unfold and make it ready for action, takes about 2 minutes and that’s just me taking my sweet time.

I decided to test it out with some homemade rolls. First, I needed to let it get to temp. I used my Coleman Camp Stove that uses propane. I tried not to make it

It’s sad, but unsurprising, that one of the most-watched duck hunting videos on Youtube right now is about a landowner hassling a bunch of hunters who set up on his property boundary. Jacob Sweere who has a hunting Youtube channel with a modest following filmed an insane interaction between his hunting buddies and a North Dakota landowner who was less than thrilled to see them shooting ducks from an A-frame blind positioned along (but seemingly not on) his property line. The video now has more than 1.4 million views.

You can watch all the drama unfold for yourself, or if you’re an experienced waterfowler, you can just skip it since you’ve likely seen something like this happen before.

The hunters in this video do an excellent job of keeping their cool while the landowner went absolutely berserk. But the details of what happened in that North Dakota field are less

There’s a new shoe brand in town! Hilma aims to revolutionize running shoes with its new fit technology.

Yesterday, a new brand called Hilma launched its first women’s running shoe using “mass personalization.” The brand was inspired by the notion that bras shouldn’t be one size fits all — and neither should running shoes.

Ultramarathon runner Brooke Torres founded Hilma, a women-focused brand, in 2019. At ultramarathon distances, Torres found the basic approach of other running shoes was not good enough. And it didn’t take her long to do something about it.

Her new brand is backed by some of the biggest performance brands in athletic footwear, including Jeanne Jackson, former president of Nike, and Jason Jacobs, founder and former CEO of RunKeeper.

And while Hilma is using mass personalization to

Just obtaining an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) license opens a world of career possibilities both inside and out of the medical field. Sure, you have to put in the effort, but the opportunities are as diverse as our EMT students here at The National Center for Outdoor & Adventure Education (NCOAE).

Fact is, we receive applications from students from all walks and stages of life, who successfully complete our EMT training program and go on to use that EMT training for a variety of opportunities. Some become full- or part-time EMTs, others use this outstanding training and education as a steppingstone for medical or nursing school. And then there are the outdoor enthusiasts who use this EMT training to become Ski Patrollers or members of Search and Rescue crews, or to add an additional layer of medical expertise when guiding groups on mountaineering and backcountry expeditions.

When designing pool shapes, there are several things to consider: maintenance and cleaning, sunlight exposure, construction and labor, and aesthetics. While a free-form shaped pool will make your backyard stand out from others, sometimes a rectangular shaped pool provides many benefits that you aren’t even aware of.

Here are the main differences between rectangular and free-form shaped pools that will help you choose the right pool for your backyard.

Rectangular Pools

Pros:

• More common than free-form pools.
• Rectangular pools cost less to install than free-form pools.

Cons:

• Rectangular pools are not as natural-looking as free-form pools.
• Rectangular pools can look smaller than they are because of their shape.

Large rectangular pools are often used for lap swimming, while smaller ones can be used for family recreation or just lounging in a beautiful backyard. These pools are typically larger than their free-form counterparts, which means you’ll need a bigger backyard to
