Everything Our Editors Loved in April


In April,
Outside editors caught up on Oscar-nominated documentaries, found comfort in the soothing voice of an NPR host, and prepped for our summer getaways by reading about sunnier places and watching surprisingly heartwarming Vrbo ads. Here’s everything we loved this month. 
What We Read
This month, I read
Madness, Rack, and Honey, a collection of lectures by poet Mary Ruefle, which I bought after reading her incredible essay “Dear Friends” in the
Sewanee Review. For 15 years, starting in 1994, Ruefle gave intermittent lectures, loosely about poetry, to groups of graduate students, which were later collected here. Each has its own subject—secrets, for instance, or fear—but they’re all really about how to

The Gear Our Editors Loved in February


February always feels like a long month, pandemic or not. Many of us experienced severe winter weather, only for it to disappear as fast as it came.
Outside editors huddled around fires, went on hikes, and made better coffee to get through it all. This is the gear we used to do it.

I replaced our backyard grass with Astroturf a couple of years ago. That’s been an amazing upgrade for this owner of three large, extremely active dogs. While the synthetic fibers are impervious to weather, claws, and even copious quantities of poop, the material does have one major Achilles’ heel: heat. That’s what originally attracted me to this hanging fire pit. The secure tripod suspends the burn barrel two feet off the ground, protecting any surface below from both sparks and radiated heat. But it wasn’t until I tried one in person that I realized it was also a really neat grill. This thing has quickly become a centerpiece for outdoor entertainment, allowing other people to join in the cooking and giving us a source of warmth to gather around while we eat. Perfect for this pandemic winter. — Wes Siler, contributing editor

These Are Our Editors' Go-To Ski Lunches


To the relief of cooped-up powder hounds everywhere, skiing has proved to be relatively safe during the pandemic, thanks to the abundance of fresh air and natural social distancing on the hill. But one aspect of a day at the resort still poses significant COVID risk: the ski lodge. To avoid crowded indoor spaces, many
Outside editors have been
 chicken fingers for meals prepared at home. 
But which brown-bag lunches are best for getting you through a day at the resort? We rounded up the
Outside staff’s favorite to-go meals, below, then asked Kristen Gravani, the director of sports nutrition for Stanford University athletes, to weigh in on our choices. Gravani, a former college ski racer, says there are three components of a good to-go meal:

Everything Our Editors Loved in December


Outside:
 while some of us spent our holidays with prize-winning novels and essay collections, others turned to screen adaptations of beloved books. Here’s everything that kept us entertained in the final days of 2020. 
What We Read 
I just read
Girl, Woman, Other, by Bernardine Evaristo, and I can’t recommend it enough. The novel won the Booker Prize in 2019, making Evaristo the first Black woman to have received the honor. Her writing is engaging and singular: there’s little punctuation, and she often breaks up her sentences like poems. The novel focuses on 12 characters, primarily Black British women, some of whom are clearly connected to others and some seemingly peripheral. Evaristo crafts a narrative that spans generations, with each chapter following the life of a different character. Despite the unique structure and style, it’s approachable and compelling—I finished all 450-plus pages in five days. —Abbie Barronian, associate editor

The Best Outside Long Reads of 2020

Looking back now, it’s hard to believe we ran a feature story on overcrowding in 2020 that doesn’t contain a single mention of viral loads, the effectiveness of masks, or the ethics of large-scale human gatherings. Mark Sundeen’s January report, which explores how Utah’s five iconic national parks became victims of the state’s genius marketing efforts to attract tourists, now seems like a relic from another era. But one day soon, the pandemic will be in our rearview, and when that happens, the biggest issue facing adventure travel in the recent past—how do we protect the world’s most sought-after destinations from being loved to death?—is destined to dominate the future. —Chris Keyes, editor
