Photos of Edward Abbey during his mid-century heyday reveal a man who could easily be deemed a caricature of the average environmentalist. But, there’s nothing ironic about Abbey’s style. Few outdoors men lived their ideals as intensely as Abbey. As a part time Park Ranger, part time writer, and full time radical, Abbey was a…

Alright guys, seriously, someone has to buy one of these Filson Oil Finish Cover Cloth Weekender Coats. And not because they’re made in the USA, or because they’re wind and water resistant, or because they have a slew of make-’em-last-a-lifetime features, but because they’re on sale for $169.99.
