10 Most Exciting Outdoor Blogs
Are you in love with wide open spaces? Are you always in for a bit of adventure? If you answered yes to either of these questions, these ten excellent outdoor blogs may be for you.
The Big Outside
This website/blog, curated by a long-time outdoor enthusiast Michael Lanza, is a wealth of information, not just about wilderness adventures, but about wilderness adventures with children. Michael is a family man and has a unique perspective on adventuring with humans whose age hasn’t cracked the single digits yet.
This website has plenty of the standard outdoor fare – gear reviews, trips and adventures, advice – but it’s the family adventures section that really sets it apart.
US Outdoor Blog
The USOutdoor.com blog is a unique collection of tips articles by the staff of the U.S. Outdoor Store in Portland, Oregon. But rather than being just a place where everything is lumped together, the USOutdoor.com blog is broken into categories to make it easy to find what you’re looking for. Interested in camping? Click on the “We Camp” link. Does climbing get your engine going? Check out the “We Climb” section. Need advice on clothing? “We Wear” is where you want to be. Hiking? Riding (as in snowboarding)? Skiing? Surfing? Yep, there’s a link for that.
Outdoor Alliance
Though the suffix on this website (.org) might give you some idea as to its purpose, its mission statement says it all:
“…to protect, enhance, and promote the human-powered outdoor recreation experience by uniting the voice of outdoor enthusiasts to conserve America’s public lands.”
OutdoorAllicance.org brings together the likes of American Whitewater, American Canoe Association, Access Fund, International Mountain Bicycling Association, Winter Wildlands Alliance, and the Mountaineers with the goal of protecting public lands. The blog also provides the outlook for various outdoor adventures.

Love the Outdoors
A back-to-basics website (format, not living off the land) with a wealth of information for all your outdoor adventure needs. Though it’s not full of pictures and vivid Internet bells and whistles, it offers plenty of advice on everything from beginning mountain biking to avoiding wildlife habitat when finding a campsite and freshwater fishing.
The Planet D
ThePlanetD.com is another unique perspective on the outdoor/adventure lifestyle. Long-married couple Dave and Deb left their jobs in the Toronto Film Industry to start a life of adventure and travel. Experience round-the-world adventures through their eyes.
Mr And Mrs Adventure
Newly-married couple Drew and Brittany left behind their California lives to travel far and wide, experience adventure, and live in a van (not down by the river). MrAndMrsAdventure.com is another unique perspective amidst the mass of outdoor websites. What are the challenges of being married and constantly on the road? This site is filled with great advice on living the nomadic life and finding adventure wherever you are.
The Campsite Blog
A foray into the spiritual as well as the outdoors. TheCampsiteBlog.com is all about creative ideas that spur adventure, travel experiences, and subjects of conversation and debate. To quote the blog itself:
“The Campsite is all about sharing and learning from one another just as we would sitting around that cozy campfire.”
But TheCampsiteBlog.com is about more than just finding yourself outdoors (and yes, there is a double meaning in “finding yourself”), its “In The Backpack” section provides a wide range of articles that will help you in your journey into yourself and into the wilderness.
Dirtbag Darling
A great resource for the outdoor adventure lifestyle from former surf-magazine editor Johnie Gall. The site is organized by activity (water, land, snow) and places (east coast, west coast, mid-west, south international) and includes how-to guides, gear reviews, a journal, and a section entitled, “Defenders of Fun”. An interesting site with advice and musings from a girl who’s not afraid to live in a van.
Adventure Filled
An adventure-filled blog from adventure enthusiast Laurie Tewksbury. AdventureFilled.com has the usual gear reviews and how-tos for the outdoor adventurer but it also has some unique perspectives about life and love (of the outdoors). Check out “52 in 52” about Laurie’s goal of achieving 52 hikes in 52 weeks or “How to Keep Adventuring When Life Gets in the Way”.
Just a Colorado Gal
A blog about life and living outdoors (not literally but as much as possible). Blog writer Heather chronicles her adventures around the world, touches on the standard topics of gear and various forms of outdoor activities, and throws in some perspectives on health, fitness, and the state of being away from civilization.
So whether you’re new to the lifestyle or a long time adventure-seeker, you’d be hard pressed to go wrong with any of these excellent outdoor blogs.
