OutdoorX4 Mag Presents First Ever Gear Issue

If you haven't had your fill of holiday gear guides just yet, I have another very good one one to share. OutdoorX4 magazine – an outlet that I contribute to on a regular basis – has released its first ever Gear Issue, and it is filled with great reviews of some of the best products around. While the magazine does have an off-road/overlanding slant, it is aimed at outdoor enthusiasts of all types, and the gear that is found within this issue is perfect for hikers, backpackers, adventure travelers, and more.

There are literally dozens of pieces of gear to sift through in this issue, so it is almost impossible for me to list them all here. But, you'll find reviews of sleeping bags, portable charging stations, camp cookstoves, tents, hiking boots, and much more. I personally contributed 5 or 6 reviews, but have also found numerous other items that I want to add to my gear closet for use on my own adventures, both on and off-road.

Unlike most of the other gear guides we've seen in the past few weeks, the OutdoorX4 gear issue actually offers insights into why these items are a good choice, either for yourself or someone on your shopping list. This isn't a superficial list of products that make great gifts, but is instead a comprehensive look at each and every product that was included. The reviews (other than mine!) are well written and informative, helping you to decide if the gear is indeed what you're looking for.

You can read the entire Gear Issue online by clicking here. And if you like what you see, you can also subscribe to OutdoorX4 here. Digital subscriptions start at $20 with the print mag edition priced at $25. We promise we'll make it worth your time.

Introducing OutdoorX4!

I wanted to kick off the day today by introducing readers to a new project that I'll be collaborating on in the months ahead. It's called OutdoorX4 and it is a website and magazine that will be available both digitally and on local newsstands soon. The focus of the magazine will be outdoor adventure in all of its forms but with a decided slant towards off-road vehicles.

The team behind the magazine is currently working towards getting the first issue ready for print and if all goes right it should become available in January. OutdoorX4 will naturally feature articles about exploring jeep trails and other off-road expeditions, but it will also have stories about the activities that we all enjoy as well, including hiking, backpacking, mountain biking, adventure travel and more. Gear reviews will also play a role in both traditional outdoor products and those that are made specifically for 4x4 vehicles.

Personally I'm not much of an off-road enthusiast so I'll be contributing adventure travel stories, gear reviews and other pieces that are more in tune with what you find here on the Adventure Blog. The editors of the publication are hoping to make it more than just a 4x4 mag however and they do want to appeal to a wide variety of fans who share an affinity for the outdoors. I think it holds a lot of promise and I'm excited to see the first copy in a couple of months time.

You can get a preview of what OutdoorX4 will be like by checking out our sample issue. Then head over to OutdoorX4.com to see some examples of the kind of content we're bringing to the website as well. I think you'll like what you find there.
