If you’re a Mystery Ranch fan, act fast. Yeti, who acquired the brand, may scale back their consumer product line to focus on military and law enforcement. While some products may remain, the future is unclear. If you’ve been eyeing their packs, now’s the time to grab one.

AllTrails now lets you download trails for an entire park, making planning easier. Gaia GPS added a sync toggle for offline maps, though some users still report bugs. There’s an active Reddit community discussing ongoing issues.

In Garmin news, leaks for the Instinct 3 have surfaced, and new firmware for the Fenix 8 is rolling out. Garmin Tactix offers stealth mode to disable all EMF-emitting features, and the Explore app restored free topo maps after user feedback. Now’s a great time to snag deals on Garmin gear with Black Friday sales.

Trail closures like Cactus to Clouds remain controversial, while the Bureau of Land Management set a great example with proactive Lost Coast Trail communication. Always check conditions and respect closures.

The Trek for Trevor Foundation offers discounts on microspikes and ice axes for PCT hikers through Nomad Ventures, encouraging safety and preparation in winter.

Finally, Apple is investing $1.5 billion in Globalstar to expand satellite connectivity. Starlink’s Elon Musk confirmed there won’t be a Starlink phone, but satellite messaging is advancing outdoor tech in exciting ways.
