An outdoor enthusiast is a person who enjoys sports and activities in nature and wilderness areas. Interests associated with outdoor enthusiasts include hiking, fishing, hunting, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, canoeing, climbing and camping. The terms Backwoodsman and Outdoorsman have also been used to describe someone with an affinity for the outdoors. Because of their gender specificity, these terms are now rarely used. U.S. president Teddy Roosevelt was an avid outdoor enthusiast. Others include Robert Baden-Powell, Ray Mears, Bear Grylls, Doug Peacock, Richard Wiese, Kenneth "Speedy" Raulerson, Earl Shaffer, Jo Gjende from Norway, Saxton Pope, Randy Stoltmann, Christopher Camuto, Eva Shockey, Jim Shockey, Henry Pittock, Eddie Bauer, Gaylord DuBois, Euell Gibbons, Clay Perry, Arthur Hasketh Groom, Bill Jordan, Corey Ford, and Étienne Brûlé. Publications catering to the lifestyle and those interested in it include magazines such as ''Outdoor Life''. Sparsely populated areas with mountains, lakes, rivers, scenic views, and rugged terrain are popular with outdoor enthusiasts. In the United States, State Parks and National Parks offer campgrounds and opportunities for recreation of the sort. In the UK, all of rural Scotland and all those areas of England and Wales designated as "right to roam" areas are available for outdoor enthusiasts on foot. Some areas are also open to mountain bikers and to horse riders. Skills of outdoor enthusiasts may include hunting, fishing, surviving, camping, hiking, and cooking. Culinary techniques and foods popular with outdoor enthusiasts include dutch ovens, grilling, cooking over "open fires" (often with rock fire rings), fish frys, granola, and trail mix (sometimes referred to as GORP for ''good old raisins and peanuts''). ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「outdoor enthusiast」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
