Ive been getting outside for 20 years. Stopped getting it a few times because I was discouraged with changes. They used to have a lot more mountaineering articles and would inform you of new outstanding climbers. Great feature writers like The Hard Way by Mark Whatwashislastname. The issues I dread now are the 20 best places on the planet to....hike..masturbate...luxuriate....only 500.00 a night....etc.......some of which WERE....cool places until everyone was told about them and resorts were built. Way too much advertising now and trEndy clothes worn by athletes. However grEat arTicles at times on surfing, climbing, biking, trekking community. The special best gear issues are fkn great. Long for the simpler less glitz mag it once was....but it's about the best game in town, the seasoned outdoorsman, Tim Cahill
