If you scroll through outdoor media, youโll see a lot of videos of people hanging off cliffs by their fingertips. It looks thrillingโbut if you struggle with heights, lack a solid community, or feel anxious about step one, those videos don't make you want to go outside. They make you want to stay on the couch.
We donโt believe the outdoors should be an exclusive club for the fearless. We believe the outdoors is a classroom for everyone.
Meet Lee. When heโs out on the rock or on the trail, he isn't trying to show off what he can do. As an AMGA SPI, Wilderness First Responder, and college professor in outdoors education, his entire focus is on what you can do safely.
Every two weeks, he addresses a topic of outdoor adventure: from thermoregulation, wildlife, navigation, gear and more.

๐ฎ๐ซ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ซ, we don't just guide you through an adventure; we teach you the ๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐๐๐ฅ, ๐ซ๐๐๐ฅ-๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ฅ๐ ๐ฌ๐ค๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฌ you need to navigate the terrain yourself. We build a ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐, ๐ฌ๐ฆ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ-๐ ๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฉ ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ง๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ where it is completely safe to ask questions, move at your own pace, and face your fears without any judgment.
If you want to get into the outdoors ๐๐ฎ๐ญ ๐๐๐๐ฅ ๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฐ๐ก๐๐ฅ๐ฆ๐๐, start small this week. Don't worry about the gear yetโjust practice a basic mindfulness trick on a local walking trail. Ground yourself by naming three things you can see, two you can hear, and one you can touch. Building comfort in nature starts with being present.
What is the number one thing holding you back from trying an outdoor adventure? Is it a fear of heights, not knowing the skills, or just not having the right people to go with? Drop a comment belowโwe build our educational workshops directly around your answers.
