This Is The Beauty of Outside’s New Activity Feed

Let’s say you’re casually scrolling through Outside’s website when a headline catches your eye: something about how elite athletes are using baking soda to boost their performance. Your curiosity is piqued. You click, and soon, you’re reading deep into the science behind why the simple household staple is so effective.

You decide to add baking soda to your own training regimen. Then, you hop onto the new Outside Activity Feed, share a link to the article along with your plans for trying it out, and the author interacts directly with you on your post.

Or maybe you’re more of a travel person, and a story about the most beautiful places on earth gives you the inspiration to plan your next adventure. Swept away by the idea of biking across a Greek island, you open the Activity Feed and share your proposed route with your followers, who then respond to you, offering their tips, tricks, and suggestions for enhancing your trip. Later, you share pictures from your epic sojourn on the Feed.

Or maybe you’re a longtime lover of Outside’s exceptional Longreads, and a harrowing, expertly written story about a race up Shishapangma that ended in tragedy draws you in. You go into the Activity Feed to see if anyone in your community is as moved as you are by the story; from there, you engage in meaningful conversation with like-minded readers.

Maybe you’re all of the above.

This is the magic of the new Activity Feed by Outside—where every adventure begins with a story and grows through a community. The integrated social platform offers personalized content, community engagement, and seamless activity tracking—all in one place. Here’s how the Activity Feed works, how to join, and why you’ll love it.

What is the Activity Feed?

The Activity Feed is a new community-based platform that connects you through curated outdoor content and shared activities. It integrates content from over 25 platforms in the Outside Network, including Outside Online, SKI, Backpacker, Climbing, Yoga Journal, RUN, Velo, and more, and it syncs activity data from hundreds of devices, apps, and events.

Unlike other platforms, it provides a unique space designed specifically for outdoor enthusiasts to engage, learn, and celebrate their love for adventure. It’s inclusive, not competitive, and everyone’s invited.
