Since September 1977, Outside magazine's mission has been "to inspire active participation in the world outside through award-winning coverage of the sports, people, places, adventure, discoveries, health and fitness, gear and apparel, trends and events that make up an active lifestyle." The Complete Guide to Making Life an Adventure is the ultimate bucket list book for this "live bravely" lifestyle. From past life lists and other content, the editors have culled the best advice on how to:
*Make a gourmet meal over a campfire
*Shut the hell up (in a word, meditate)
*Paddle like a fur trader in the Voyageurs
*Cast for a really big one in the Everglades
*Take a dirtbag road trip
*Live like Ted Turner
*Live for six months without a car
*And finally, go out with a bang.
