A Free and Private Way to #Vanlife

By Meghan and Matt Matt and I started our vanlife journey from Connecticut after a six month van build. Coming from the East coast, boondocking isn’t really much of an option in the wilderness – mainly because so much of the land is developed. We got to camp out at a state forest in PA […]

Overcoming those Challenges of Parking on BLM

Or drinking water straight from a natural source. The air is cleaner. The views are better. It’s something spiritual. To those who have had little exposure to the outdoors […]

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in Climbing

By Lisa Jennings “In diversity, there is beauty and there is strength” -I forget but it’s damn good. Disclaimer: I don’t have the answers; this is just how I’ve learned to contemplate, navigate, explore, gain strength, stumble, heal, cry, and laugh in climbing and other outdoor spaces.  Climbing is a feeling. It’s this innate and primal pull […]
