Active outdoor pursuits; Adventure holidays

Longtime readers have come to understand that Outside’s true gift is in chronicling misadventure. That’s the common thread among the stories found in Out There—those memorable tales that begin with the promise that, even if no one’s life is necessarily hanging in the balance, something may go horribly awry at any moment, and that documenting this misfortune will inevitably yield rich comedic material or a surprisingly poignant moment. Or sometimes both. Out There chronicles fringe athletes, fitness freaks, and others obsessed by ill-advised dreams. It takes us to far-flung places no sane person would want to go. What ties this collection together are the incredible voices of legendary Outside contributors such as David Quammen, Tim Cahill, Susan Orlean, Wells Tower, Christopher Solomon, Patrick Symmes, Taffy Brodesser-Akner, Nick Paumgarten, and many others, who turn their subjects into literary gold and have helped to keep Outside in business for more than forty years.

Reviews for Out There: The Wildest Stories from Outside Magazine

Out There is one hell of a page turner, authored by some of the finest journalists of our time. I highly recommend it. These are the wildest tales from the fringe, the very crème de la crème of madness, divine or otherwise. Here are stories of misadventures mirthful and appalling, vagabonds on hellish journeys, fanatics of freaky sports, and emperors of obsession. -- Douglas Preston, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Lost City of the Monkey God: A True Story Out There is a feast for anyone who loves a great story, featuring some of the finest narrative writers on the planet turned loose on some of the craziest adventures. Adrenalin, laughter, pathos; rivers, the mountains, the sea—they’re all here, the best of what we love about Outside. Read this book. It’s a reminder of how big the world is, and how generous the human heart. -- Peter Heller, bestselling author of Celine and The Dog Stars
