What Is Manliness, Anyway?
Launching the redesign of the Art of Manliness has gotten me thinking about our history, and how my understanding of manliness has evolved, deepened, and changed over that nearly two-decade-long span. The idea for the Art of Manliness came to me in a Borders (RIP) bookstore. As I browsed their selection of men’s magazines, I […] This article was originally published on The Art of Manliness.

Hexishtrek Day 43 Castanhada to Plo de la Voulp €0
I was feeling a bit Hexishtrek this morning. My two options for continuing my push southish were to follow the Hexatrek in a looping semicircle path that kept me clear of any road walking (good for my allergies) or a more straight up the guts route marked on my map as an ancient path. I mean it’s not a tough choice really, is it? The post Hexishtrek Day 43 Castanhada to Plo de la Voulp €0 appeared first on The Trek.

Laika’s stop-motion fantasy Wildwood looks so smooth
Due to a scheduling mishap, I was only able to check out two movies on my second day at the Toronto International Film Festival - but I did manage to get an early look at and some fascinating details on one of my most anticipated films this year. Even if you don't know the name Laika, you probably know the studio's work; it's the animation house behind stop-motion hits like ParaNorman, The Boxtrolls, and Kubo and the Two Strings. Over the years Laika's films have steadily gotten more impressive on both a technical and artistic level. Which brings us to the incredible-looking Wildwood, hitting theaters next month. If you're unfamiliar, here' … Read the full story at The Verge.

Choosing Between A Wetsuit Vs Drysuit
Contrary to any fantasies of paddling being a tropical experience on a daily basis, the reality for most of us is that for the majority of the year, canoeing, kayaking, standup paddleboarding and rafting take place on cold water. If you’re wondering if this includes you, consider the fact the National Center for Cold Water […] The post Choosing Between A Wetsuit Vs Drysuit appeared first on Paddling Magazine.

Welcome to the Redesigned AoM
Every five years or so, Kate and I get the itch to redesign the Art of Manliness. I don’t fully know where it comes from. After eighteen years of running this site, our tastes change, our sense of what AoM is about changes, and at some point an old design stops fitting the idea we’ve […] This article was originally published on The Art of Manliness.

What makes a fly reel worth the money?
I RECEIVED THIS EMAIL THE OTHER DAY FROM MY GOOD FRIEND BRIAN BOGGS. "Louis, I'm looking for the right four-wt reel. I am of a mind to shop the low end for reels since I don't catch large fish that need to be fought on the reel. Is there any reason to not just buy a cheapie and get on with the fishing? How much difference does the reel make anyway? I think of it as line storage and little else." It always makes me a little crazy to hear that 'line storage' remark. I don't know who started it, buy they did a disservice to a great many anglers. Hearing it from Brian made me especially nuts. Brian, you see, is a man with a very specific skill set. You may not be aware that there is a subculture among us who are devotees of an ancient art form, so ubiquitous that most of us take it completely for granted. These folks, craftsmen and collectors alike, obsess over the minutiae of this endeavor to the point of needing serious therapy. I am not even kidding. Brian Boggs is a chair maker. Boggs
