outdoor life

Life beyond walls

Outdoor life refers to activities, recreation, and time spent in nature rather than indoors—camping, hiking, hunting, fishing, and similar pursuits.

The phrase often carries connotations of rugged self-reliance and appreciation for wilderness: He was drawn to the outdoor life from childhood.

It can also describe a lifestyle or philosophy that prioritizes time in natural settings over urban or domestic existence.
