Range Mag Issue 11 - This is Range

The Summer 2019 issue is dedicated to origin, culture, and land.

Mother Nature has called out to us since the inception of time, singing her siren song to generation after generation. That primal draw to the outdoors can awaken in us a sense of purpose and meaningful connection to people, place and planet. But for some, this awakening is a complex journey filled with uncertainty and manmade roadblocks.

We stand at a crossroads in the industry as we reflect on the intersection of our personal and professional lives. We’re truly privileged to be part of a global community, one that contains multitudes yet shares infinite common threads. We all remember the first time we felt empowered by the wind on our face or the smell of the earth under our feet. The sunrise filling the sky with an amber glow or the reflection of the moon shining off the water. These moments of connection with the environment strengthen our own communal bonds and remind us we can all relate to these themes in one way or another.

If we’ve learned any lessons about our interconnectedness, we also know “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” When we work together to solve a problem, we achieve more than if we go it alone. We must pass this knowledge down and give credit where credit is due, paying homage to both the architects of the outdoor industry and the larger-than-life icons we’ve always known — and those we have yet to meet.

The lineage of the land we recreate on is the sum of the millions of people, traditions, ideas, and mythologies that have protected and honored this shared space. It’s our responsibility to unearth everyone’s story and give agency to the healers, the makers, the explorers, the artists, and the adventurers who’ve broken trail before us.
