Being outdoors is one of the best things we can do for both our mental and physical health. Science has proven time and time again that fresh air and exercise combined with being connected to the natural world are the best cure for a bad day.

It seems easy to just get up and go outdoors but it’s actually easier said than done. For one, you have to be motivated. You also have to be prepared. Depending on what activities you will be pursuing during your outdoor adventures, you will need to be aware of the type of gear you need, safety precautions and tips on where, when and how to go about the activities you want to pursue. There are many resources you can turn to find out this information but the most popular way these days is through outdoor blogs.

Outdoor blogs are essentially websites created by outdoor enthusiasts who write about their experiences and tips. They can be found with a simple online search. Many of these outdoor blogs are written by amateur writers and outdoor lovers but some of them are written by professionals in the industry and their blogs can be found attached to an outdoor-affiliated website such as a clothing store, magazine or gear shop.

Some outdoor blogs are more like a diary where the writer tells readers about their latest adventure. Other blogs are focused on outdoor hear while some focus on tips and recommendations. Many outdoor blogs also focus on top destinations to participate in various activities. That being said, any information you are looking for can be found on these blogs but you may have to read several different ones.

The best thing about searching for information on blogs is you get first-person accounts and information from people who are out there and actually doing the activities you are interested in. You can get ideas for your next adventure and find out information that you would otherwise not know. Who knows you may even be inspired to start your own outdoor blog!

Getting a blog off the ground is the hardest part of the process. Once you have the idea and put the time and effort into building your blog, all you have to do is post regularly and share honest, entertaining content with your readers. After a while, you can even monetize your blog and make a decent side income from it.
