About
We all want to get outside more. Well, most of us do.
It’s the greatest feeling in the world to be happy, outside, in the fresh air. Forget the noise, smog and people of the city and head outside into the wilderness where there is so much to see and do. You don’t need to pay for any of it, it’s all there for the taking.
PureOutside is about getting up off your butt and getting outside into the water, into the dirt, into the fresh air.
It’s all about doing something outside. Back to where it’s pure, fresh and awesome.
Our goals have changed a bit since the beginning but they remain very solidly rooted in the outdoors. While having fun outside is one of the most important parts of all activities there are sometimes underlying purposes to them as well.
Our Mission
1. Get everyone outside – Every. Single. Person. All of them need to be outside moving every single day. No excuses.
2. Map the Worlds Trails – So many trails are begging to be hiked but can’t be found online anywhere. We aim to change that.
3. Bring together the brightest outdoor minds and the best outdoor information. What happens after that we leave to you.
Current Projects
MapVI
Pure Outside and Island Adventurer will be mapping and photographing every trail on Vancouver Island over the next couple years. It’s an ambitious project but one that desperately needs to be done. Vancouver Island is a mecca for outdoor enthusiasts but it can be difficult to find accurate, up-to-date information on where you want to go. That’s where we come in. PureOutside is in the process of building a unique trip report and trail database to house all the information collected on Vancouver Island. Once that project is finished, it’s on to the rest of the world!
