It seems everyone is getting into video these days. And if there is one magazine and online site that I’ve been waiting with bated breath to see enter the online video fray, it’s Outside Magazine. I went over to Outside online to check out what they are doing and while I was not blown away, I did spend some quality time consuming some top-notch vids. Take, for example, a an excerpt they’ve posted from the upcoming film The Ghost Mountain Boys, based on the article “Chasing Ghosts,” by writer James Campbell. I haven’t read the piece yet (still getting through my April issue, alas), but it’s in the May issue of Outside. Then, dear to my Chile-loving heart, there is the five-minute piece called Eco-Trekker on Torres del Paine (one of my favorite spots on earth) with Ian Wrights. Keep scrolling down and you’ll find vids on snowboarding, surfing, climbing and more. Most of them are re-purposed pieces from shows like the above Eco-Trekker, but definitely a good way to while away a few minutes. As I say, it’s a good start for the much-loved outdoor magazine. Not quite where I’d like to see them ultimately, but worthy of a perusal.
