Outdoor Idiots.com. The sore thumb of the outdoor community.
Is this your first visit? You are most welcome. Please browse our lovely site using
the links on the left. The interesting stuff is in the Library.
At the end of each item, there is a link to an associated thread in our forums. Please use the forums to leave a
comment about any item that interests you. That way, we feel less lonely. Anyway,
if this is your first visit, why not read about us, first?
Got something to say? A top-tip? A good story? Taken a good photo? Pleased with your outdoor kit? We want to know all about it. Why not submit an item and see what others think? See the submission guide for details.
We are interested in anything you have to say, as long as it involves outdoor activities. We expect a "mainstream" of walking (or "hiking") and camping, but we want much more besides. If you have a specific outdoor hobby, please ask us to create a space for it in our forums. If you have an unusual outdoor hobby, why not write an article on it which we'll publish? It doesn't have to be good - we are determined to have shockingly low standards. Give us a try!

After a long, deep sleep, we finally do an update, thanks to being inspired by somebody actually submitting an item to us!!! These things can happen, we are told. Even though we didn't realise until quite a while after it was submitted. We were too busy sleeping, you see. Anyway, it's a small update, but we did it, and nobody can take that away from us. Now we are going back to sleep until 2007. Please feel free to submit stuff to us in the meantime. We will check our inbox in 2007. And while we are asleep, please look after our forums, and don't fill them with rude things. Thank you.12 August 2006
We do an update! These things can happen, from time to time.28 June 2006
Because people are generally too rubbish to join our forums, we have introduced the facility to add a comment at the end of each item. No doubt, it will all go horribly wrong. But please have a go anyway. Try not to be rude.25 June 2006
We are still here. They'll never keep us down.3 May 2006
Well then. After a broken computer and lots of lost stuff, we are finally back with a slightly redesigned site, and a new appreciation of the importance of making back-ups. Please take a look at the new design, and keep coming back over the next few days and weeks, as we will gradually be adding more content. Note that the forums are now unlocked, so you can create any topics you wish.10 April 2006
We are redesigning the site and rethinking the whole format and the submissions thing. To keep you amused in the meantime, you can have a play with this nonsense.21 March 2006
We added a couple of late-entries to our top-tips for this issue. They really are very silly. We have much better things to do, honestly.16 March 2006
Site updated. "Issue 2" is now "live." Well done to all concerned! Yes, we know it's naff. But well done anyway!10 March 2006
Hoorah! Shock news just in: (1) Some internet search engines have actually indexed this site. (2) We now actually have enough content to produce a proper update! We expect to have this content online by Thursday, 16th March - possibly even earlier. We would like to thank our readers for their patience. Really, both of you - thanks.21 February 2006
The expected update is going to be a bit delayed, due to a sheep running loose in the office [Flossy! Come here!]. Probably a day or two...16 February 2006
We are expecting to update in a few days. Our aim is for Monday, 20th Feb.14 February 2006
A last-minute rush to get the forums working seems to have turned out okay...[The Editor speaks: "Pah! Nobody will use them. I don't know why we even bother to do it! Google hasn't even indexed us yet. Anyway, someone get the blasted kettle on, will you!?"]

Outdoor Idiots.com is finally launched! God bless her and all who sail in her!02 February 2006
Nice weather today.28 January 2006
The Outdoor Idiots.com team start to worry about The Editor. He's turning noticeably green, and getting even more grumpy than usual. Perhaps that's what happens to editors after incidents with iced lollies.24 January 2006
We decide it's probably a good idea to start looking for someone to host our website, given we want to launch it in a couple of weeks. "Outdoor Idiots.com - never knowingly prepared."21 January 2006
The Editor has an unfortunate and highly improbable pre-launch accident while eating an iced lolly. He will never be the same again.© Copyright 2007 Outdoor Idiots.com (Steal our stuff and a puppy gets it!)
