RANGE Magazine – Issue 10 // Work In Progress
Our Winter 2019 issue is dedicated to progression.
As we embark on Issue 10 of RANGE Magazine, we’re compelled to consider the definition of progress. Depending on who you ask, this subjective word can yield a wide range of very personal interpretations. Progress means moving forward toward a destination, or charting a course and making headway. But how can we be sure we’re making the right kind of progress, and whose standards define “right”?
When we talk about progress in relation to product or materials, we’re traditionally referring to innovation and performance. Is it lighter, faster, or stronger? Is it solving a problem? Is it made well and crafted with intention? But this year, we’re wondering if progress would be better defined as facing fears and breaking down barriers. And if so, who is responsible for making this type of progress and how can we empower them to charge harder to push back against the status quo? Is it our responsibility to understand how the outdoor industry first started in order to forecast where it’s heading?
We’re engaged in daily global and national debates about what it means to be progressive. Regardless if you lean to the left or the right during those conversations, questioning the very definition of progress forces us to dig a little deeper and examine our own personal views on a variety of hot-button topics. The universe rewards those courageous enough to be vulnerable and open to different points of view with the gift of seeing through a new set of eyes.
Every one of us is a work in progress, whether you’re just joining the conversation, developing the next must-have technology, building a brand, or influencing a new generation of outdoor enthusiasts. You’re moving the needle and inspiring others to follow in your footsteps. For RANGE Magazine Issue 10, we invite you to openly share stories about your struggles, your successes, your failures, and your challenges, because they bring us one step closer to our collective goals.
To making progress.
