<i>What is the Outdoors?</i>

The Outdoors is anything that is not Indoors.

<i>What is the Indoors?</i>

The Indoors is any permanent shelter from the outdoors. A house, an apartment, an office building, a fire station, etc.

<i>So tents, ramadas, gazebos, RVs, etc. are still outdoors?</i>

Yes. Unless you live in one permanently.

<i>What about the homeless who live Outdoors all the time, under bridges, in cardboard boxes, stairwells, etc.?</i>

These people are the only true Outdoorsmen left in America.

<i>How do I know when I am Outdoors?</i>

You will know when you cross the threshold from Indoors to Outdoors.

<i>What is a threshold?</i>

A threshold can be a door, a window, a hatch, etc. leading from Indoors to Outdoors.

<i>What if I am only imagining the Outdoors?</i>

Then your mind is the threshold. In fact, the Outdoors is more a state of mind than anything else.
