Lifemaps

Public Group active 1 year, 4 months ago

A lifemap is an outline and guide to a particular form of outdoor life. Ideally it will summarize the hard-won experiences of those who have attempted to live their outdoor dreams.

* Main attractions of the lifestyle
* An approximation of the quantity and quality of outdoor time achievable
* Significant obstacles that may be encountered
* Keys to success
* Examples of representative individuals
