Can you feel it? The early morning’s cold-hearted treason belies the end of
summer, signaling the oncoming fall. The days are shortening, and the leaves
are beginning to turn. Fall is a special time for outdoor adventures,
sometimes wetter, sometimes colder, a changing season that brings a need to
change gear.
REI's Labor Day Sale [1] is one of the biggest of the year, starting today
and running through September 2, 2019. You can save up to 40% on many of your
favorite brands, and get an extra 20% off on any one REI Outlet item using
the coupon code LABORDAY19 [2].
Can you believe it’s mid-August? At Outdoor Project, we’ve been so busy
with summer adventures that we forgot to look up. Alpine summit? Check.
Weekend backpacking trip? Check. Swimming hole shenanigans? /Oh, for all
things holy, the swimming hole shenanigans/.
If summer is a full-time job, we keep working off the clock, and we think we
deserve a little reward for our efforts.
As summer progresses, it's the time when top brands and retailers work
through their remaining inventory and offer discontinued models at steep
discounts. This is great news for those of us who love to get outside.
Outdoor gear and apparel products generally last for a long time, so get in
on the deals before the clearance sales are done.

For anyone with a love of the outdoors, love of the gear that helps them get
there is sure to follow. From fanny packs to adventure skirts, the world of
gear for women is getting wilder with each passing season. We asked our 2019
Women in the Wild about the gear they can’t leave home without.
It's not too late to stock up on camping essentials at a great price. REI
Outlet [1] has some stellar discounts on everything you need to make the
most of a camping trip.
The memo is in. Mountain biking, apparently, is a downright blast.
Water is never far from our thoughts in the heat of summer, but let's be
honest, just sitting in the water gets a bit dull. Being active is so much
much more fun. We like to make the most of it by fishing, stand-up
paddleboarding, or doing both together.
This week, we bring you the best deals to outfit yourself for a fun time on
the water.
Each week we bring you the best current deals on outdoor gear and apparel,
from major sales to brands with specific promotions. Here are the deals you
won't want to miss this week if you are in need of any items for upcoming
camping trips or other outdoor adventures. And don't miss the special 70%-off
discount code on select Columbia Sportswear products below.

If you like to read a book outside or bring one along on your trips to the
backcountry, you aren't alone. While reading print books is still the
preferred way for most Americans to read (according to an annual survey
by Pew Research Center [1]), hauling a book along on your outdoor adventures
is not always the most practical or feasible option.
Climbing. Of all the outdoor pastimes, climbing may rank as the most
peculiar. What drives us to scale upward, fighting the force of gravity
and leaving the safety of the horizontal world behind? Perhaps it's the
places that climbing takes you.
Trail running has been on the rise in recent years, and it’s easy to
understand why: we evolved to be runners.
For millennia, we kicked up dust to escape predators,
and chased down prey to survive. There’s a major part of our
DNA that’s hardwired to get up and move swiftly through wild
and intricate terrain.
