DO SOMETHING

As Outside's features editor, Gloria Liu, writes in this piece:  "...if there’s one other universal characteristic of people who love the outdoors, it’s that we voluntarily wade into discomfort with enthusiasm and resolve. It’s time for us to channel that energy into something far more important."
