How to subscribe to an iCal feed in your favorite Calendar app

This guide explains how to combine multiple calendars into your favorite calendar app, allowing you to have a single place to go for all of the dates that are important to you.

Did you know that most calendar apps allow you to combine multiple calendars into a single feed? This handy feature allows you to keep tabs on many different sources of dates using a single calendar app of your choosing like Google Calendar, Outlook, or the Calendar app on Mac and iOS devices.
