First of all, WELCOME! So glad to have you in the discussion of all things wilderness! This is where questions can be asked and enlightenment can take place. I’ve realized that a lot of us are watching reels and liking photos on social media of the places we wish we could go but one of the big things holding us back is know-how on getting from point A aka the couch to point B aka the dream destination. That’s what I aim to remedy here! Get quality info for the confidence to tackle your trek where ever the wind takes you.
Now to be clear I am an adventure guide and an explorer at heart but I don’t pretend to be an expert at everything. That’s where you come in! There is a wealth of knowledge between us on logistics, locations, travel tips, types of terrain, weather, national parks, wildlife, gear, training, safety, navigation, wild stories in the back country, etc.
I am going to start the conversations and you all are going to let us in on your own nuggets o’ wisdom. Or ask any and all of those burning questions. Even if the question is “WHYYY do you crazy people like the woods so much!?” Curiosity is welcomed! Respect is required! Let’s keep it open minded everyone! This is a place to learn, so judgements, rudeness, or uncalled for comments have no place here. We have an opportunity to enlighten and empower each other and create a solid outdoor community.
It doesn’t matter if you have never set foot on a trail before or you are a raging sponsored Red Bull Athlete at the peak of your game, your voice is valued! So by all means, introduce yourself! And talk mountains with me!
