Things will go sideways, this part of your journey and makes wonderful stories to share with friends or fellow travelers
A lot is out of your control, such as canceled flights, delayed ferries or overcrowded transport vehicles, what is under your control is your attitude towards these situations
Be kind to people and to yourself
make a packing list and don’t bring anything which is not on the list
When in doubt, Leave it out. You will not hear yourself ever: “I wish I’d brought more stuff”
Always assume at first that people are good and have the best intentions
Trust your instincts in terms of safety and food. In doubt leave the area or eat vegetarian or nothing at all
Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere
You’re never too old to try something new.
Multi use things are key in order to reduce weight. e.g a layered base + mid + rain jacket is better than a thick single use jacket

I ~love~ Outlier’s clean design and amazing quality. Been buying for years.
But since forever, the classic longsleeve button-ups (AMB, Pivot, etc). have disappeared, and jersey / knit products have proliferated on the site. And the jersey products are great - but they don’t fit the same needs.
Is this just a cost / supply chain thing (eg too hard to make AMBs cost effectively), or an aesthetic choice?
I feel like Outlier has moved away from the shirts that William Gibson liked into a knitwear rabbit-hole ( “Everyone Needs a Thneed!”).
I don’t know where to go if Outlier is out of the button-up business forever…
u/abe1x I am begging you. Mine are very close to retirement and I don’t know what I’m going to do when they’re gone.
No hyperbole, no flattery: they are by far the best pants I will ever wear.
I know Schoeller Dryskin is still on the market, I know yall went for a specific variation but damn.
Even if you have a ratty couple of meters you grabbed as moving cushion for the move, get an intern to make them as a project and I’ll pay a serious commission.
A merino t-shirt so light that it feels almost like nothing at all (only softer). 16.5 micron merino is intimately blended with nylon to create a superlight fabric with dreamlike qualities and a whole lot of texture.
Hey all,
I unfortunately realize that Strongworks won’t be re-released with the success of Strongdarts and Bombworks, so does anyone know of any non-Outlier alternative that has the structure and fit of Strongworks?
(I really wanted to like Strongdarts, but unfortunately I’m not a fan of the baggy thighs and squeezing my calves into them was not a chore that I enjoyed. The workwear style of Bombworks also just isn’t my thing either.)
