Backpacker, Outside, or... ? - SteveO - 02-17-2007
Have an opinion on which outdoor mag you like best? I've been with Backpacker for a few years but it's been kind of lame the past year with a few exceptions. "Outside" is another possibility but I haven't picked up an issue. Then there's a Nat'l Geo pub called Adventure or something...which sounds cool except I'd like articles on mostly US trips and Adventure I think has stuff on climbing the K2, etc. Bah, I'm not gonna scramble up the K2 anytime soon.
Thanks!

Or perhaps it's just a vagrant?

Backpacker is the best of those you mentioned.
Your best bet is to just go to your local trail shop and pick up last months Outdoor, Backpacker, Adventure, Climbing mags for free. They always just give them away for free. No need to subscribe to any of them.

this is a good reason to post one of my favorite songs of the 90s
Evan Dando
THE OUTDOOR TYPE (T. Morgan)
Always had a roof above me
Always paid the rent
I never, set foot inside a tent
Couldn’t build a fire to save my life
I lied about being, the outdoor type
I’ve never slept out underneath the stars
Closest that I came to that was one time my car,
Broke down for an hour
In the suburbs, at night
I lied about being, the outdoor type
Too scared to let you know
I knew what you were looking for
Lied until I’d fit the bill
God bless the great indoors
I lied about being, the outdoor type
I’ve never owned a sleeping bag, let alone a mountain bike
I can’t go away with you on a rocking climbing weekend
What if something’s on TV and it’s never shown again
Just as well I’m not invited
I’m afraid of heights
I lied about being, the outdoor type
Never learned to swim
Can’t grow a beard or even fight
I lied about being, the outdoor type
