Welcome to Watch Now. We’re obviously passionate about gear, and we have a lot of it in the office — it fuels our reviews, news and stories every day. Here’s what we’re testing, photographing and more, put together by our Social Media team. Enjoy.

STIHL Timbersports is an incredible outdoorsman event full of tree chopping, chainsawing, and plenty more ridiculous feats of strength and strategy. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at our visit to the Northeast Professional Qualifier.

How We Got There
