Ever wonder what it feels like to cross the ocean by kayak? Survive cancer? Run 100 miles? Give up your smartphone? Work on an offshore oil rig? Now you won't have to. We've revived the classic Esquire package What It Feels Like, a series of stories about wild, weird, disastrous, devastating, uncomfortable, and unconventional experiences told by the people who lived through them. This week, Kristen Yaldor from Florida tells us all about her violent encounter with one of the world's most dangerous animals: the hippopotamus. –Chris Hatler, deputy editor Plus: |

My husband and I were supposed to enjoy a relaxing canoe ride. What happened next was anything but.
|
It was my birthday, December 1, 2018. My husband, Ryan, and I had done a couple of long days of an African safari, so our tour group decided to do a nice, relaxing canoe ride on the Zambezi River. We'll have lunch, maybe, and get a different perspective for photos, as we'd be lower on the water and hopefully see something along the waterside. The tour guides said the canoes were easy enough for ten-year-olds, no problem—relaxing, nothing to worry about. |

These days, when people wear Apple Watches to formal events, people consider it dressed up. It's, at least, a rebellion against the slow march of casualization that's taking over the world. Here we've gathered 11 Esquire-approved field watches to brave the dog days of summer, but they're wearable year-round. You can trust our recommendations, but if you're looking to have a little fun, consider taking an expedition into the resale market. You can find a multitude of options on eBay, from authentic wartime relics to old-school marketing swag. Luxury re-sellers like Reklaim and Bezel make sure your sellers are verified and the watch is in working condition. There's an option at every price point, and nearly every complication. |

Gerard Johnstone, the New Zealand-born director of 2023's horror-comedy M3GAN and its upcoming follow-up M3GAN 2.0, knows that sequels are damn hard to pull off. How do you top an endlessly-memed cultural sensation in which your leading robot doll belts Sia's "Titanium" in the middle of the proceedings? Or rips a little boy's ear from the side of his head? Well, you give M3GAN her own secret lair, of course. "She's so bombastic and iconic. It's like, what can be more iconic than having your own lair?" Johnstone told me over Zoom last week. |
