Every week we’re rounding up camping and outdoor news, along with stories you might have missed from The Dyrt Magazine and around the web. This week, we feature a helpful Salt River Pass dispersed camping review from an explorer on The Dyrt. Will yours be next?
You don’t need science to tell you that getting outside is good for your mental health. (You feel it every time you take a deep breath of alpine air or remove your shoes at the beach.) But yet another new scientific study backs that up.
You also probably didn’t need another reason to go camping, but there you have it.
That being said, we invite you to take some screen time to catch up with our latest stories, along with things we’re reading around the web. We’ll keep it short so you can get back outside:
