What this is

For people who like being outside and like knowing why.

We write about staying safe when conditions turn, the strange corners of the natural world, the weather that shapes your plans and the practical details that make a day outdoors go better.

Some stories are how-tos. Some are lists you can read on a break and repeat later. All of them are written to be clear, quick to scan and easy to use.

A hiker in a mustard jacket studies a paper map on a rocky ridge above a glacier valley.

What you will find here

Two campers pitch a green tarp shelter on a rocky shoreline as a storm clears and the sun sets over the sea.
Weather turns. Know before you go.

  • Useful firstEach story should leave you knowing something you can use, or something worth repeating.
  • Careful with safetyStories about safety or health are general information. They are not medical, legal or emergency advice, so check with a professional about your own situation.
