Master the outdoors with the right tools & skills.
The Outdoor Lab
The Outdoor Lab is where outdoor gear and skills get put to the real test, out in the field, under real conditions, by real people.
We don’t just talk about outdoor tools and techniques — we test them. Whether it’s comparing gear head-to-head, seeing how a piece of kit performs in harsh weather, or applying survival skills in unpredictable situations, the Outdoor Lab is all about practical, hands-on evaluation.
What’s Inside The Outdoor Lab:
- Gear Testing, Done Right – We push gear into real-world use: rain, cold, dirt, wind, wear. What holds up? What fails? What’s actually worth your money?
- Challenge-Based Skill Trials – Can a beginner purify water with a DIY filter? Can someone with no experience start a fire in wet conditions? We find out.
- Myth vs. Reality – We put common outdoor beliefs to the test. Does duct tape really fix a torn tent? Can you cook with a solar oven? Time to find out.
- Outdoor Skills in Action – See what it really looks like to navigate off-trail, make a survival shelter, or handle first aid in remote settings.
