The team

Outfarer is written by a small team of authors, each with their own subjects: camping, wild camping, bushcraft and hiking for Guillaume Hoarau; campervans, cycling and calculators for Julien de Jurquet; trail running, snow, water and nature for Nolwenn Bastide. Short guides, updates and news briefs are signed by the editorial team.

They all follow the same method: open, cited sources, official texts read in their current version, figures explained rather than asserted, and kit compared on the specifications its makers publish. Sensitive subjects, such as regulations, safety, survival and bushcraft, are reviewed before publication, and the reviewer’s name then appears under the article’s byline.

Each author signs their articles in all four editions of the magazine, adapted for readers in each country. To write to one of them, use the contact page: your message will be passed on.
