As we ease into autumn across the United States, our activities are shifting from the outdoors to more cozy activities inside the home. However, our new fall gift guide has suggestions for those who aren’t ready to pack it up and are willing to brave the cooler temps.

High Camp Flasks

High Camp Flasks came to life in 2017 via founders Nic Barisone and Whit Gautreaux, who both shared a love of good drinks and being out in the elements. The brand produces a series of innovative flasks, including their latest flask for wine lovers, The Parkside Flask. We’ve used the brand’s wares in the past and we’re big fans. Speaking of cocktails, High Camp Flasks also has a cocktail-boosting Campfire Bitters offering that’ll spice up your Old Fashioned or other classics. – D.L.

Offering a number of smoked meat snacks such as the aforementioned jerky and beef sticks, we’re big fans of the original Old Fashioned flavor. They also have Pepperted and Hot & Spicy. If you’re going to be outdoors and away from the modern comforts of home, you’re going to need a snack, and Old Trapper has you covered. – D.L.

Perfect for the beach, the woods, and even the back deck, PARKIT should be on your list if you love the outdoors. – D.L.

Pull Start Fire

Speaking of bonfires, you’re gonna need something to fire one up and that’s where Pull Start Fire comes in. Invented by Mike Beyrodt after a chilly night in West Virginia with his buds, Pull Start Fire takes all the hard work out of getting a blaze going via its innovative pull-to-start string system. We can imagine this has made a lot of bonfire fans happy as it even works on wood that’s been wet. – D.L.

This week in politics, the vibes are messy, alarming, and straight-up confusing. From late night TV being snatched off the air to vaccine policies getting hijacked, it’s giving “WTF is going on?” Let’s break down the headlines everyone’s talking about inside. First Amendment on the Chopping Block Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show has been pulled from ABC, and Stephen Colbert’s show? Cancelled completely. The official line is murky, but the bigger picture is loud. Free speech is being tested under the Trump administration. While Trump once said he’d “honor” the First Amendment, recent moves suggest he’s working off a remix version that only benefits him. Case in point? The Guardian reports his $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times. A judge already tossed it out, saying Trump’s claims about “false content” violated federal rules. Still, the fact that these lawsuits and cancellations keep happening has people questioning the future of free expression in America. CDC Shake-Up Sparks Health Concerns Meanwhile, over at the CDC, things are getting political fast. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has basically turned the agency upside down, firing all 17 members of the vaccine advisory committee and replacing them with appointees that include vaccine skeptics. On top of that, the CDC director is out, high-level staffers are resigning, and decisions about vaccine safety are suddenly more about politics than science. Public health leaders are calling this move dangerous, saying it dismantles independent oversight just when Americans need clarity most. According to California’s government website, they are one of the few states pushing back on the federal government’s stance. California, Washington, and Hawaii aren’t taking it lying down. The states have formed an alliance pushing back on the feds, promising to keep vaccine guidance rooted in science, safety, and transparency. Their health officers are reviewing guidelines from trusted medical groups like the AAP and ACOG to ensure communities still have access to clinically recommended vaccines. Trump & Xi Meet About US TikTok’s Next Chapter And then there’s TikTok. After years of “will they, won’t they?” drama, Trump announced that he and Chinese Premier Xi Jinping approved a deal for TikTok’s U.S. operations. According to BBC, the plan reportedly hands control to a group of U.S. investors, sidestepping a shutdown. Trump called the call with Xi “productive” on Truth Social, and even, teased a face-to-face meetup at the APEC summit in South Korea this fall. From free speech battles to vaccine wars and TikTok drama, this week in politics has us all asking the same thing: WTFGO?
