Our story
The Outdoors Was Never Just a Backdrop—It Was the Destination
Growing up, the outdoors wasn’t just there—it was something we chased. We didn’t live in the middle of wide-open spaces, but we craved them. Every camping trip, fishing weekend, and backroad adventure was something we planned for—counting down the days until we could trade pavement for dirt trails and city noise for the crackle of a campfire.
Those moments were pure magic. Packing the truck, watching the city fade in the rearview, and stepping into a world where life slowed down. Where the only things that mattered were fresh air, good people, and the kind of freedom you can’t find inside four walls.
The Problem: The Outdoor Experience Is Changing
But life got busier. Career, family, and chasing big goals made those escapes harder to come by. And when I did get outside, I noticed something: the outdoor world was changing.
The local brands and outfitters—the ones that made those trips special—were struggling. Big-box stores and faceless online retailers were pulling their customers away. Their stories weren’t being told. Their connection to the outdoor community was fading.
The Vision: A Space Where Outdoor Brands and Adventurers Connect
That’s when it hit me: what if I could help? What if I could use my background in product design, digital marketing, and storytelling to build something that keeps those brands thriving?
What if we created a space where outdoor brands could connect with people like us—people who live for the next adventure, even if it takes effort to get there?
