More About Shout! OUTDOOR LIFESTYLE MAGAZINE
This magazine is designed for a broad range of people who have a zeal for life, a passion for the outdoors, and an interest to see how God fits into both. This is a group that pursues a deeper understanding of their faith through their interaction with nature and wild places. They engage the outdoors through hiking, skiing, climbing, paddling, surfing, biking and running just to name a few.
They desire to understand the power that draws them out there. They want to define their experience by finding out how their adventures bring them closer to God. Shout! OUTDOOR LIFESTYLE MAGAZINE builds on that by offering stories of adventure, ideas on where to go, tips on how to pursue their outdoor passions, and discussions on the gear they need to do it. More importantly, it unwraps ideas and mines the depths of what we can learn through God’s creation.
Each issue is laid out in a simple, clear style with vibrant prose, colorful pictures and exciting video to fully engage the reader. Readers are transported to exciting destinations and challenged to try new things as each author describes, illustrates, and discusses their experiences in one or more of the many outdoor pursuits on which they focus in each issue.
IT’S A GREAT BIG OUTDOORS SO YES, PLEASE GO AHEAD AND REALLY SHOUT!
Articles are organized into departments primarily by activity. Some activities you’ve done and others you’re about to discover. No other outdoor magazine brings so many activities together and then looks at how God takes all of them over the top. It makes for a continually exhilarating read. So, yes, go ahead, shout!.
Each department includes feature stories, inspirational essays, trip reports, interviews with experts in the field, how-to tips, and of course gear reviews. The departments illustrate this magazine’s broad readership potential and are organized as follows:
Hike, Camp & Climb (Mountains): Provides stories of hiking, backpacking, and trekking while also celebrating the pursuit of high places: alpine style mountain climbing, traditional rock climbing, and vertical ice climbing.
Boat, Surf & Snorkel (Oceans): Examines all that the ocean has to offer an outdoor lover. From sailing the high seas to surfing the big waves, here we wring out the thrills of life on top of the water while at the same time diving below the surface to discover the riches and mystery in the underwater world of snorkeling and scuba.
Paddle, Row & Raft (Rivers & Lakes): Celebrates the thrill of the whitewater and the serenity of the lake. Whether running Class V rapids, paddling a canoe through the Boundary Waters, or rafting on a week-long adventure in the Brooks Range, writers un-pack the challenges, joys, and experiences that pursuing recreation on rivers and lakes reveals.
Pedal, Race & Run (Roads & Trails): Investigates the world of self-propelled speed on the roads, tracks, and trails of the land. Tearing down the mountain, burning up the track, or staying ahead of the pack, this place offers insights and inspiration for the mountain biker, road racer, marathoner, and trail runner.
The X Factor (Off The Beaten Path): From skateboarding to wakeboarding to skydiving, this is where the extreme outdoor enthusiasts find their passion. If there are thrills, chills, and adrenaline to be experienced, this department brings our readers close to the action and explores what it means to push the edge of the physical and spiritual envelope
Hunt, Fish & Sustain (Animals & Environment): Explores the excitement and adventure in all aspects of hunting and fishing, from trip prep to meal prep, while examining the importance of sustained practices and conservation to preserve and manage God’s creation in all its forms. Intertwined throughout this department will be discussion about how we care for the wild lands, life-sustaining waters, and amazing creatures to ensure a sustainable future.
