A while back I got a subscription to Outside, off the back of how many great books I've read that have started as magazine pieces in it. True, it's full of gear fluff and branded content, and true it's got a colossal North American bias but there's still loads of good stuff that comes through. So I'm going to experiment and spread the love to the UKC community and share the best bits, for me, from this month.
I give you:
"An Ocean Plastics field trip for Corporate Executives"
A bunch of mega-corp executives and a bunch of eco-warriors get together to go on a boat trip to visit the floating mound of shi*te called the North Atlantic Gyre: https://www.outsideonline.com/2400590/ocean-plastic-pollution-soulbuffalo
and
"The Last Days of John Allen Chau"
A more nuanced account of the missionary who was killed a while back on North Sentinel Island by the indigenous people who have ferociously spurned all contact with the outside world: https://www.outsideonline.com/2400030/john-allen-chau-life-death-north-sent...
Hope some of you might fine it interesting. If so let me know and I'll try to remember to post again next month.
