Outdoor Magazine #16 – reads in winter!

We are rubbing our hands with excitement, because the return of winter in Poland coincides with the premiere of the next issue of our magazine, which invariably hosts content undreamed of by philosophers, in addition to strictly sports, travel and athletic topics! Here is Outdoor Magazine #16!

From the editors

This time of year we explore the mountains on foot, with a backpack, on skis and on snowboards. Z Maciej Besta We venture into the winter wilderness of Siberia. Z Ashley Barker we get to know the behind-the-scenes work of a winter photographer and peep at the spectacular stunts of sports masters in Canada, the Alps, Alaska and New Zealand. What a flesh-and-blood freerider does and thinks? In the Questionnaire we interrogate Marcin Pośpiech.

In the issue you will also find places to recommend – Austrian Karwendel i Vesterålen Peninsula In the north of Norway. We compare different ways to shuffle through the snow and advise on how to take care of the health of our four-legged friends during winter hikes. In turn Wiola Imiolczyk Advises what tasty things to prepare for such trips.

We don't stop running in winter, it's never too late for running. In the cross-country corner Justyna Grzywaczewska introduces an exceptional character Angela White, who, at the age of sixty, completed a cosmic challenge – in 18 days, 10 hours and 3 minutes she covered on her feet a route of more than 1,400 km between the extremes of the UK, or "John O'Groats to Land's End".

Despite the pandemic, we also venture into far-flung regions of the world. We look into Argentina – Zuzanna Kozerska talks to Angelika Milli, who, along with her family, made a beautiful journey on horseback in the foothills of the Andes; and Vietnam – the Piotr Trybalski once again surprises with his mastery of the pen and camera. The photographer, author and traveler also advises on how to portray people – amateur photographers will certainly not pass by indifferently the key man from Senegal.

We encourage you to be active, travel, share emotions and enjoy moments in nature – regardless of the season! We recommend enlarging the imagination. What is this? Be sure to read the text by Beata Słama In the Retro section. And by the way, what are we doing to better feel the world? We asked a forest expert about it by Piotr Horzela, mountaineer Kacper Tekieli, runner Margaret Tomik, photographer Brand of Fire, our illustrator Dorota Piechocinska, journalist and traveler By Lukasz Dlugowski and traveler Matthew Waligóra. The material is illustrated with photos by Barbara Grubka.

What else is of interest to outdoor people? Art? In OM you will find more music and book suggestions, as well as the story of a Canadian artist Raymond Roy, Who hikes on snowshoes and tramples drawings in the snow.

Ecology? Traditionally, as part of the Green Page, we encourage you to take care of the environment, and more specifically, to repair your clothes. Zofia Kajca examines whether ecology is at odds with the comforts of everyday life, exploring an example of a house made of clay, wood and straw that was built in a small village in the Podkarpackie province – the Jagiellonian Dome. Minimalist approaches to life and sporting feats on the wallpaper takes Malgosia Lebda, In her column "As a rule, less".

Read OM and head out into the world! See you somewhere in a snowdrift,
