    What our community says…

    Trips and itineraries are accessible to the weekend warrior, i.e. you don’t have to be an ultra athlete. I wish I was one, but I’m a 46 year old that loves the outdoors and tries to get out as much as possible. Your content hits the nail on the head, has helped me become an intermediate skier and your gear recommendations are on point. I often use your Christmas list to either add something to my wish list or purchase for others. Thank you for your dedication to your craft.

    I love how easy it is to find any of the topics (usually tips/recommendations) I’m looking for, and also the amount of information I can gather. It’s impressive!

    I think you do a really good job, and I always look forward to reading the newsleter when it arrives in my inbox. Thank you for gathering relevant information and sharing it in an enjoyable manner.

    Hi, I’m Kristen

    I know getting outside isn’t always easy

    I didn’t grow up hiking and camping, and in my twenty years as a hiker, camper, and backpacker, I’ve had my share of tough moments. I used to feel overwhelmed trying to squeeze in adventure on the weekends, only to find myself forgetting important gear, being unprepared for the elements, or unsuccessfully attempting a poorly planned outing. As a self-taught outdoor enthusiast, I want to help you avoid the pitfalls I’ve learned the hard way (and the disappointment that comes along with it). 

    As a full-time outdoor blogger for the last 10 years, my goal is to save you time, support you in your journey outdoors, and help to feel prepared for whatever nature throws at you.

    My free Outdoor Trip Planning toolkit and weekly email series will help you get out the door quickly, so not a single second of your time outside is wasted.
