Get Ready for the Outdoors.
Outdoor Challenges
We put ourselves in unfamiliar and challenging outdoor situations, not because we are experts, but because we want to learn from them.
First comes the amateur attempt. Then an experienced guide, instructor or safety specialist shows us what we missed, what we should have done differently and when the smartest decision is to turn back.
What you’ll find:
- “I Tried It” Challenges
Watch us take on difficult conditions, unusual outdoor skills and new experiences. - Expert Corrections
Learn how professionals assess risks, make decisions and avoid common mistakes. - Destination-Based Experiences
Explore the conditions, activities and challenges that make outdoor destinations unique.
Find Your Match
Not every activity, destination or piece of gear is right for every person.
Our quick quizzes consider your experience, plans, preferred comfort, activity level, destination and budget. You receive recommendations that are relevant to the adventure you actually want to have.
What you’ll find:
- Gear Match Quizzes
Find backpacks, water filters, sleeping systems, tents and other equipment suited to your needs. - Activity and Destination Quizzes
Discover which activities, trip styles and outdoor experiences suit you in destinations around the world.
Survival Skills
Our beginner-friendly mini-courses teach practical survival skills through simple explanations, demonstrations and expert guidance. Learn how to respond when the weather changes, equipment fails or your original plan no longer works.
What you’ll find:
- Free Survival Mini-Courses
Short courses covering one practical outdoor skill at a time. - Expert-Led Lessons
Learn the reasoning behind each technique—not just the individual steps. - Practical Tips You Can Use Outdoors
Turn what you learn into simple actions you can practise and apply on your next adventure.
