The Best In The Business Take Note Of Livesoutside.com

It is partly our mission to share the experiences we are fortunate enough to have.  For this reason, our Instagram account @livesoutsidtd0tcom is one of the most active parts of our organization.  We want others to see what anyone can do if they wish to and the benefits/drawbacks that are included.  Feedback that is constructive which leads to productivity is always appreciated, especially from those in the outdoors industry we respect.  When Snow Peak USA @snowpeakusa requested to use one of our photos on their page, we could not have been more thrilled.

What We Love About Snow Peak

Having relied on Snow Peak products for years, we have been advocates for their durable, ultralight and quality pieces.  Never have we felt the need to replace anything from Snow Peak, thus far.  In our experience, very few companies strive to achieve Snow Peak’s level of elegant design combined with raw functionality.  Many people appreciate a product which is attractive, everyone can love a product which is beautiful and utilitarian.  Be forewarned that the price of admission can be steep.  In Snow Peak’s case the cliche rings true, “buy once, cry once.”

Timeless Beauty & Elegance

Difference tends to attract attention in nature.  Snow Peak has a very different design compared to many current outdoor gear producers.  In a desert of unoriginality where the go-to option for many marketing teams seems to be- the brighter the better, Snow Peak is an oasis of consistency.   We love to compare new cooking gear of the day with Snow Peak and see how a year later how much the current offerings have changed.  One cup we have had for years shows unique colors due to high temperature exposure, typical for titanium.  Character such as this it difficult to replicate and tells part of a larger story.

Gratitude & Appreciation To Our Elders

In a way, we see Snow Peak as one of our “elders” in the industry.  They have been around much longer and have had great success which has carried them up to their current level.  This is something we can deeply respect, as their general design has been very much the same with only slight variations over time.  In addition to merely respecting their experience, we attempt to learn from it after becoming aware of it.

We are very thankful that one of our industry “elders” decided to reach out because of content we published with a request to use it.  A small thing sure, but a huge sign we are doing something correct (or hopefully not wrong) and for that were are thankful.  Our modified photo is of the titanium mug in the picture above, to the left.

The Photo In Question

This one was really fun to create and it almost didn’t even exist.  One of the last pictures taken one day at Betasso Preserve in Boulder, CO, we are very happy we didn’t call it an early day.  Below is the original image published by us @livesoutsided0tcom

Thank You For Everything, Everyone.

We could not possibly do what we love so much without outside support from companies such as Snow Peak or our consumers.  Also, we despise the connotation “consumer” as it implies your only function is to use our content.  We hope that you learn, enjoy and find value in what we do, not simply consume what we produce.  Thank you, everyone.
