Brave New World Last year, without a press release or much fanfare, we quietly changed the tagline that appears next to our logo on the cover of Outside from Live the Active Life to Live Bravely. Perhaps you didn’t even notice, and we’ll forgive you for that, but it was an important change for us. Why? Informal research concluded that no one at the magazine really knew what the Active Life meant. And if the sole purpose of a tagline is to succinctly define the mission of your brand, this was a pretty solid indication that ours was failing. We think Live Bravely is a big improvement. Not only does it require 50 percent fewer words, but it’s infinitely clearer. I doubt that you, dear reader, could definitively answer whether…

NOTHING SAYS you’re the coolest kid in town like a tricked - out treehouse—an adult-free zone that’s the perfect respite from the ’rents. But most treehouses are shoddily constructed and fall apart after a few years. The reason? Amateur architects (thanks, Dad) usually just nail everything to the trunk. Building a structure that can support all the cool stuff you’ll want to include—balconies, rope bridges, trap doors—requires a solid platform that will move with the tree as it grows. "You can’t treat a living tree like a post," says Daryl McDonald, lead foreman at Nelson Treehouse and Supply in Fall City, Washington. "It’s growing, it’s moving in the wind." Of course, unless you’ve been mowing lawns since you were two, you’re probably going to need your parents to chip in.…

[THE ARCHETYPE] ← ANDREW FORSTHOEFEL, 25 WOODS HOLE, MASSACHUSETTS Barista, writer, walker CV: Attended St. Andrew’s high school in Middletown, Delaware. Graduated from Middlebury College in 2011 with an environmental-studies degree. In September, after losing a job on a lobster boat, Forsthoefel started walking west from Philadelphia with a 50-pound backpack, a mandolin, an Olympus LS-10 audio recorder, and a sign that said WALKING TO LISTEN. He recorded interviews with people he met on the road: a woman in Alabama whose Marine-vet husband had died from complications related to an IED attack in Iraq; a cop near the Grand Canyon who "pulled over" Forsthoefel for pushing a baby stroller containing his pack over a windy pass. Forsthoefel completed his journey in Half Moon Bay, California, 11 months after setting out,…

Puberty and the ensuing independence of your late teens conspire to make you feel like you’re suddenly living in an intensely complicated world. It’s a full-time job just trying to figure out your place in it. Then you hit your twenties and your inward gazing gives way to outward glances. It’s time to begin exploring the world that exists beyond you. Besides hitting the road, one of the best ways to do that is by reading the works of great authors on the places they love. Not only will you learn about the world, but you’ll learn about what it truly means to be alive in it. WOLF, by Jim Harrison. The literary giant’s first novel, written when he was 33, chronicles the narrator’s journey into the wilds of Michigan’s…

← NICKWOODMAN 38, HALF MOON BAY CALIFORNIA CEO of GoPro CV: Founded GoPro in 2002. Initial goal was to make a wrist strap for a waterproof disposable camera to snap shots of friends surfing. When he couldn’t find a camera sufficiently tough to handle the rigors of the ocean, he decided to come up with his own. $35,000: Amount he borrowed from his mom to get the company off the ground. After 11 years, the GoPro has become the best-selling camera in the world, and the company was recently valued at $2.3 billion. "They used a GoPro camera in the Chilean mine rescue," says Woodman. "That was when I realized that this thing goes way beyond sports." Up Next: Documenting fatherhood. "My favorite thing to do with my GoPro is…

THE LIFE CANON When my thirties were looming, I asked the novelist Annie Dillard what I should be reading. A week later an envelope arrived, crammed with a densely typed list of every book she’d ever read. I’m about 600 books behind her right now and losing ground every decade. You can only do so much. Your thirties are about choosing, about work and relationships, about compromise and leadership, and the triage that makes adult life possible. My own decade of reading was a mix of Dillard-esque greats (Gibbon, Cervantes, and Jefferson), the less than great (Tom Clancy), and the merely necessary—in my case, a lot of obscure anthropology, CIA memoirs, and Latin American history. This is a time for correcting mistakes and bearing down to get stuff done. If…

"It’s essential that you make your workout something you don’t dread," Kalama says. One way to do that: use your surroundings. "When you go to a gym, It’s one-dimenslonal. But when you go to a mountain or a park or a beach, the workout Is being drawn more from your will. Use the trees, use the park benches, use logs lying on the ground, use curbs, use whatever you’ve got. My whole life has been dictated by fun."

PETER METCALF, CEO OF BLACK DIAMOND, ON CLIMBING, KEEPING YOUR COMPOSURE, AND THE NATURE OF PAIN In 1989, Peter Metcalf, a former climbing bum and elite alpinist, led the charge to buy out Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard’s struggling climbing-equipment company. He renamed it Black Diamond and has transformed it into one of the fastest-growing outdoor-gear and apparel makers in the world, a $20S-million-a-year conglomerate that includes four brands and shows no signs of slowing down. Here are some things the 58-year-old learned along the way. One thing I picked up from Chouinard is that you have to keep moving, keep evolving. Not look at what is and ask why but envision what’s not and ask why not? You have to be willing to blow up what you have in order…

MY SAN DIEGO "surf team" could use a little help. All of us are over 40, and our body creaks are beginning to overwhelm the power of our denial. One member has three artificial disks in her neck and two fused vertebrae. Another had his ACL removed after a mountainbiking accident. When I paddle out during our weekly morning sessions, my left shoulder feels like it’s grinding coffee. Two years ago, I slipped a disk in my lower back that pushed against my sciatic nerve, making my ass, thigh, and knee burn like I’d been stabbed with a white-hot knitting needle. I sustained this injury while brushing my teeth. So it’s a good thing that scores of clinical trials and lab experiments are under way in an effort to reboot…

[THE ARCHETYPE] ← ASHIMA SHIRAISHI, 12 NEW YORK CITY Climber, seventh-grader CV: Daughter of Japanese immigrants. Took up bouldering in Central Park at age six. Climbed Crown of Aragorn, in Hueco Tanks, Texas, a V13 bouldering problem that’s one of the most difficult routes ever climbed by a woman, at age ten. Now spends 20 hours per week training at the Brooklyn Boulders climbing gym. Won the American Boulder Series Youth National Championships in March. Excels at woodworking class. Collects stickers. Two: Number of documentaries that have featured her. Up Next: Junior high. But first, a climbing trip in Switzerland.

Arborist Great outdoor jobs are rare for kids marooned in suburbia. Climbing trees in a harness with a chainsaw? An exception. PREREQS: A willingness to get dirty—think feeding branches into a chipper—and hang out in high places. "There’s lots of rope work, so rock-climbing skills translate well," says Nicholas Dankers, of Seattle’s Tree Cycle. HOW TO BREAK IN: Find a local arborist who needs an assistant and will teach you to use a chainsaw. You’ll do the menial stuff—rake debris, work the chipper—before getting in the harness. "I ran the chipper for three weeks, until my boss realized I wasn’t an idiot," says Calgary, Alberta, arborist Mike Bedard. "But I thought the chipper was awesome!" PAY: Varies from $10 per hour in Ohio to $14 in Seattle. ROMANCE POTENTIAL: Extremely…

BARS Poor Monkey Lounge Merigold, Mississippi A ramshackle hut in the middle of Mississippi farm country, 70 miles from Memphis, Po’ Monkey’s, as it’s more commonly called, is one of the last authentic juke joints in the South. While the structure and ambiance haven’t evolved much over the years—it still looks like something out of Beasts of the Southern Wild—the hours and musical tastes have: the bar is now open only on Thursdays, when a DJ spins dance music for a crowd of mostly young locals and (possibly bummed) blues pilgrims. Beer, soda, and bottled water are the only official items on the menu, but BYO liquor is allowed. The Desert Bar Parker, Arizona Technically, it’s the Nellie E Saloon, but because it’s located off the grid (no phone, solar…

OUR ALREADY BAD DAY took a terrible turn when Kevin fell into the crevasse. Lucky for him, he was tethered to a blind man. Steve felt the sharp tug and immediately dropped to his butt and dug his crampons into the ice. This gave Kevin enough time to kick his toe into the opposite wall of the crevasse and stop, armpits-deep, his free leg dangling over the darkness. I had fallen in beside him but used my trekking pole to span the gap and went in only up to my thighs. The fourth member of our party, Matt, was unroped and 20 yards away. I backed out and scooted across the snow on my belly, and together Steve and I pulled Kevin, gently, from the fissure. But we were still…

DAVID LANG BEAMS proudly as a blue bread box carves tight figure eights through a large tank of water. It’s not actually a bread box. It’s a miniature, bread-box-ish submarine, controlled remotely from a nearby laptop. But Lang really is beaming, the way parents beam, or maybe the way you beam if all this is new and only recently you had no home or job or money, certainly no submarines, and were sleeping in your old Nissan Maxima down by the marina. "This is my job," he says. We’re standing in an airy old research lab at the edge of the San Francisco Bay. Robot parts lie here and there. Lang is talking to himself as much as to me. It’s an unguarded moment for the lanky cofounder of OpenROV,…

A. The business end of SOG’ limited-edition Gunny Fixed Blade knife ($750; sogknives.com) is made from Japanese stainless steel, and the handle is cocobolo hardwood inlaid with (we’re not making this up) stingray hide. But don’t mistake finery for fragility. This ultradurable knife was designed with the help of R. Lee "What Is Your Major Malfunction, Numbnuts?" Ermey of Full Metal Jacket fame. B. It takes the folks at R. L. Winston a year to craft a single bamboo fly rod (from $2,750; winstonrods.com). The result, as with its four-weight, is a singular piece of functional art: a hand-sanded seven-and-a-half-footer with a cork grip, a medium action, and titanium-plated guides. It fishes just as beautifully as it looks. Go ahead, you deserve it. C. Wooden surfboards are gorgeous. They’re also…

WE LIT OUT in a spring snowstorm, flakes fat as butterflies spattering the windshield, the highway hissing with slush. By sundown we were galloping into Utah, our tracks back in Wyoming vanished under white. We hooked off I-70 at the ghost town of Cisco and curled down to the Colorado River, silver under the starlight. Hooting with glee, we dropped the windows and let the warm evening air wash over us. Two nights earlier, I’d been sharing a pitcher of beer in a Laramie pub with Caleb Owen, an itinerant climber and a college student at the University of Wyoming, both of us dreaming about an old-fashioned rock-climbing road trip. "Like, just up and leave," said Caleb, his hair a greasy mess, his tall, rangy body too long for the…

Private Reserve It’s worth it to splurge on a better safari. You can find game drives in East Africa for as little as $600, but then you might end up in a conga line of Land Cruisers rolling past tourist-weary lions. So it’s worth ponying up for a place that’s committed to conservation, supports local communities, and, crucially, gets you away from the hordes. Take central Kenya’s Segera. The lodge is located in the center of the 3,668-square-mile Laikipia Plateau, which has the country’s second-highest density of wildlife, and Segera caps the total number of guests in its eight private villas at 20. German owner Jochen Zeitz, a former CEO of Puma, is a bit eccentric—he has one of the world’s largest private collections of contemporary African art and owns…

[THE ARCHETYPE] ← BILL IFFRIG, 79 LAKE STEVENS, WASHINGTON Retired paper-mill worker, Boston Marathon icon CV: Grew up in Everett, Washington. Married Donna Ayres in 1954. Worked in Everett-area pulp-and-paper mills for 42 years until he retired, in 1994, at 60. Completed the first of 45 marathons in 1976. In April, Iffrig, wearing a bright orange singlet, was nearly finished with his third Boston Marathon when he was knocked down by Shockwaves from a pressurecooker bomb. A photographer captured him sprawled on his back, with three policemen standing above him and smoke filling the air, an image that went viral and graced the cover of Sports Illustrated. Iffrig got up and staggered to the finish. "I would have crawled there if I had to," he says. He finished with a…

RISING STARS JOE BREEZE STARES blankly at the freshman girl for a moment, then looks down at the mountain bike she’s handed him. Breeze, 60, is best known for creating the first purpose-made mountain bikes back in the 1970s, when he and other founders of the sport began riding the dirt trails around Marin County, California. He still develops new bikes for his Breezer brand, which sells 55 different models in 16 countries around the world. He’s also the volunteer race-day mechanic for Sir Francis Drake High School’s mountain-bike team, the Pirates. It’s a warm May morning on Boggs Mountain, a heavily wooded state forest 100 miles northeast of San Francisco. Today’s the day for the NorCal High School Cycling League Championships, the penultimate event of the Pirates’ six-race calendar,…

IM DOZING IN A HAMMOCK slung between two snow-ghost spruces overlooking a gypsy-camp movie set put together by Sweetgrass Productions. A dozen or so locals, professional skiers, and hangers-on, all dressed in vintage drover coats, animal skins, and thrift-store fishing sweaters, are walking around on hobbit paths that wind through the woods. We’re a few hundred yards off the back side of the Whitewater ski area in Nelson, British Columbia, in a clearing decorated with a tepee, an igloo, several blue-tarped lean-tos, and a couple of four-season tents disguised under khaki-colored canvas. Watching the actors and crew move about, I can’t quite tell who’s in character and who’s for real. A few feet away, Cody Barnhill, a 30-year-old professional freeskier from Alaska, is disrobing and locking limbs with his girlfriend,…

A. Skis for the park, skis for the backcountry, skis for powder days. At some point you can have them all. Until then, Armada’s rockered Us ($600; armadaskis.com) will both float you across the fresh stuff and, with wood stringers and a three-ply fiberglass laminate, provide plenty of edge control on hardpack. They probably aren’t the only skis you’ll ever want, but they might be the only ones you’ll ever need. B. With a sticky rubber rand wrapping the forefoot and a stiff Vibram sole, Scarpa’s 14-ounce Crux light hikers ($99; scarpa.com) can handle everything from easy rock climbs to moderate hikes. With a suede upper that gives off a casual street vibe, they can also handle an evening at the pub. C. NRS’ seven-pound PackHaft ($575; nrsweb.com) folds down…

First things first—yes, you’re getting older. Take a moment to let that sink in if you need to. Now here’s some more tough love: It’s time to accept the fact that you can’t stay out for last call, then make it up for a 6:30 A.M. mountain-bike ride. And enough already with your daily routine of coffee-and-bagel breakfasts, takeout lunches, and pizza-and-beer recovery meals. A study in the International Journal of Obesity found that the highest rate of adult weight gain happens between ages 25 and 35—roughly one pound per year. And on top of your slowing metabolism, you’re producing fewer digestive enzymes, meaning you can’t absorb nutrients as easily. Here’s the good news: you can still run and bike like a 25-year-old—as long as you’re smart about what you…

IT STARTED OUT as a funny little place on my right elbow, itchy and raw. I figured it was a bug bite and gave it no more thought. But the next day, I woke up with throbbing pain and curious-looking red streaks extending up and down my arm. A few hours later, my forearm had swelled hideously, and the skin had grown rigid and hot to the touch. I started to breathe uneasily. I felt dizzy and feverish, then collapsed half delirious on the floor. My wife, Anne, rushed me to the hospital, where the ER docs found that I was in septic shock. What I had was a rare flesh-eating streptococcus infection, introduced by a puncture wound of uncertain origin—possibly from a spider bite. Technically known as necrotizing fasciitis,…

MAUI’S DAVE KALAMA has a reputation for understatement that is as legendary as his fearless approach to riding monster waves. But don’t let him fool you: at 48, the five-foot - eleven, 200-pound former high school ski racer, windsurfing world champion, tow-in-surfing pioneer, and James Bond stuntman (he rode a 40-foot wave in the opening scene of Die Another Day) is at the top of his game. He’s currently in talks to surf a huge swell somewhere on the planet for the National Geographic 3-D film version of Susan Casey’s bestselling The Wave. And though he didn’t start stand-up-paddleboard racing until his late thirties, he’s dominating younger competition a decade later. "I still want to win," says Kalama, who took second at the 32-mile Molokai 2 Oahu Paddleboard World Championships…

TAM AT ONE OF THOSE AGES. Indisputably no longer young, still not truly old. Inadvertently, I seem to have memorized the disclaimers shoehorned into the continuously looping promises of ever ready erections and the reborn joys of peeing like a racehorse. In fact, the legs are what I would most like to have back. At 45, a slip on the ice during my daily run shredded my left hamstring and, with it, my belief that each time I stepped outdoors I could run as far as I pleased. When would that illusion otherwise have dissolved? I’ll never know, because at 51 an out-of - nowhere autoimmune condition rendered me, for a while, barely able to walk around the block. Aggressively medicated, I recovered. Then, just in time for my 58th…

IN THE LATE NINETIES, my parents surprised everyone when they applied for the Peace Corps. Recent empty nesters, they were a lifetime older than your typical volunteer. They were also no West African well diggers. A management consultant (Mom) and commodities broker (Dad), they remembered fondly the policies of Ronald Reagan and played tennis once a week at a private club with an all-white dress code. Without ever clarifying exactly why they wanted to trade their well-appointed life for "the toughest job you’ll ever love," they assured me, my two sisters, and my octogenarian grandmothers that we would be fine without them for a couple of years. And then they left. Mom and Dad posted to Zvolen, a lumber and railroad town of some 43,000 in the hills of central…
