Sometimes, we need a reminder to simply appreciate the seemingly little things - the things that, unexpectedly, make us stop…and smile. If you’re looking for some Friday inspiration to kickoff your weekend, check out The Nature We Know from EO contributor, Peter Kray. (Illustration Credit: Kevin Howdeshell)

Can you tell we take our gear testing very seriously 😉 Getting after the MTB season with fresh gloves from @handupgloves, pack from @uswesports and kicks from @fiveten_official. Yes, we loved every piece - and moment - on this ride!

Are you feeling that spring time energy as much as we are?! Our gear of the week this week is Salewa’s Wildfire Leather!
Made for the trails or the town, Salewa’s Wildfire Leather offers supreme comfort, stability, and durability – all in one sleek suede leather design. Don’t be fooled by the casual appearance of this hiker, it packs plenty of tech. A proprietary POMOCA outsole provides grip in all conditions and Kevlar cables lock your heel in place through the 3F system. On top of performance, the Wildfire Leather boasts the Salewa Committed badge, meaning the shoe meets ethical production and material standards to minimize environmental impact. Look good and feel good in your new everyday approach shoe.

Every year, we poll our stable of core contributors to nominate the gear they actually go out and use most. We simply ask them: What was the best gear you used over the past year? What gear can’t you live without? What gear changed your life? Meet the gear we loved, beat up, and relied on out in the wild. Drum roll please 🥁…

EO Editor-in-Chief, Doug Schnitzspahn shares a story of awareness and inclusivity in this issue’s Editor’s Letter, making note of his own experiences and pondering others’ in the outdoors. He goes on to mention Outdoorist Oath, the brainchild of social activists Teresa Baker, José González, Wyn Wiley (Pattie Gonia), and executive director Gabaccia Moreno. Simply put, the oath is a commitment to address the inequality in the outdoors (and the world) and gently, and actively, work to be the change.
