A U.S. appeals court on Monday said President Donald Trump’s administration could, for now, bar transgender people from enlisting in the military, but blocked the expulsion of current service members while a lawsuit plays out.A panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in a 2-1 ruling said the 2025 policy was unlawfully motivated “by the bare desire to harm a politically unpopular group.” But the Pentagon has broad powers to set enlistment standards, the court said, and can continue to ban transgender people from newly entering the military pending the outcome of a lawsuit…
Sign up for the Outdoor Life Newsletter Get the hottest outdoor news—plus a free month of onX Hunt Elite. This story, “Ordeal and Death,” appeared in the July 1968 issue of Outdoor Life. When the sun went down last September 20 in the remote wilderness of northern Quebec, Don Barnard and I didn’t have the least suspicion we were hopelessly lost. If some body had told me that this was the beginning of an ordeal almost too terrible to describe, I would have thought he was crazy. Four of us had been flown to an unnamed lake that morning. We’d…
Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadIt’s 12:30 in the afternoon on April 28th, 2025. You’re in Europe, standing in a Madrid train station. The lights go out. The departure boards go dark.

Sign up for the Quick Strike Newsletter The hottest fishing news, tips, and tactics This story is republished as it originally appeared in the August 1975 issue under the title “Six Against the River.” The six of us are experienced canoeists, but I began to wonder if Mark and Eck had taken the time to make sure their life vests were adjusted properly before they rammed into the first set of rapids on our trip. The cold river water can collapse a man’s lungs as it sucks the heat from his body. I fought to dismiss such thoughts and concentrate…

Let’s be as wildly optimistic as we possibly can and assume that Iran agrees to allow free passage through the Strait of Hormuz with absolutely no tolls or restrictions starting tomorrow. Before normal traffic through the Strait could resume, Iran would first have to remove all of the mines that they have laid in the Strait, and that could take months. Once all of the mines have been removed, it will take the…
Sign up for the Quick Strike Newsletter The hottest fishing news, tips, and tactics This story, “A Swordfish the Hard Way,” first appeared in the October 1981 issue of Outdoor Life. I first saw the swordfish at 7:50 a.m. about 12 miles off the coast. He was 50 yards away, swimming kind of erratically and slowly. He was so big that I was a little afraid of him at first.
