Check out our latest Living Outdoorful interview with Bruce McClintock of Hike For Life now up on Outdoorful news! 📰 🏔 🥾

—

Can you tell us a bit about why Hike for Life was born? The idea behind the mission? And what it is that Hike for Life offers?

I was blessed with numerous hiking and camping mentors that helped me learn the basics when I was young. During my military career I would return to Colorado looking forward to climbing another 14er and would plan for the trip months in advance. While hiking I would regularly meet people that were out on the trails, who had done much less planning and who were often under-equipped and unaware of the weather risks. I enjoyed helping others learn and I enjoyed passing on my own lessons! I would occasionally offer tips to those interested in learning.

Have you ever been somewhere so beautiful and so special that you wish you could just tell the whole world about it?

You know the place.... for me it was Banff - and to this day it stands to be one of my favorite places on this earth. The first time I went I stumbled upon Moraine Lake, and to my astonishment, seemingly had the place to myself (it was May, there was still snow on the ground, and must have been the first day the road was open for the season.)

I remember gasping in awe at the beauty surrounding me, but I also remember wishing there was somebody to share in the moment with.

I ventured back to the same spot a few years later with some close friends of mine, and while it was a different time, with the sun shining bright, and a snowless ground cover. It was a different feeling, a better feeling, because I had people I loved to share in the awe!

Don't let your next outdoor endeavour be alone, grab your favorite person and book a trip through our site today LINK IN BIO, make those memories that you can share for a lifetime!

We all love our outdoor gear, especially our mountain bikes. They provide us the freedom to move through the single track and trails with elegance, lighting up our hearts, exciting our adrenaline, and giving us joy in all the ways!

Just like we take care of our bodies - we need to make sure we give the same love and affection to our bikes.

"This day was full of everything happy! The sun was shining, the air was fresh, and the smells were everything you could have dreamed of! It was the perfect Colorado day, and we felt lucky to be in the high alpine so early in the hiking season. I had just met these 3 women, who at the time turned into my best companions that summer. It was the beginning of something I had never had before. ⁣ 💫
⁣
I've always struggled to find women who I vibe with, I usually just hang around with guys. But these women taught me the beauty in embracing my feminine side. They taught me that girl groups are essential for my mental state of mind. ⁣ 💛
⁣
Having a girl (or guy) tribe is so important, it allows you to be vulnerable in your endeavors without judgement. It allows you to bond with the same s*x. Leaving you feeling empowered in areas where maybe you have felt undervalued, inadequate, or simply unsure of..." - .mandarich

As in most work environments, you learn to work with a team. You learn what you love about them and in some cases what you can’t stand about them. You spend most of your days, if not a large majority of life with your coworkers. 💻

But no matter how great your work environment is, you’re always going to run into tension, because … it’s inevitable. Somebody forgets to send an email, or your project member misses a deadline, or maybe you entirely space on the fact that you had a meeting at all?!

This is why it’s so important that your team (or leadership) makes a conscious effort to create opportunities where everyone can interact with each other, not just as coworkers but as humans. Because let’s face it, other than the occasional office parties, do you find yourself really socializing amongst your coworkers?

Today we pose the sentiment of seeing your coworkers for who they are, human beings, in the outdoors. 💫

To hear all our thoughts on this topic, head over to our blog!

To follow up yesterday's post, today we wanted to highlight the LEAVE NO TRACE principles: 🌿

🔸️Plan Ahead and Prepare

🔸️Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces

🔸️Dispose of Waste Properly

🔸️Leave What You Find

🔸️Minimize Campfire Impacts

🔸️Respect Wildlife

🔸️Be Considerate of Other Visitors

Now if you don't know what these are, we invite you to spend some time educating yourself.

As we move through the world, and through the outdoors, we ask that you always come from a place of respect.

We come from the earth, and we return to it.

It holds more secrets than you can imagine...

"In July we submitted Blaine Mountain.

The hike to the top was around 4 miles, the first part began on a trail that connected in with another, as much as Jenny Lake and Blaine Mountain were on the map and attained in a semi regular basis, they weren't. There was no trail to the top, it ended just a quarter mile shy of the lake.

We debated our route, do we head to the lake first - then up the bowl? Or do we follow the ridge up that's a bit further to our left?

We ended up choosing a route on our left that went up. But it was a thick bush wack. After about a mile of choosing our steps carefully, sharing a set of hiking poles. We reached the ridge-line! It was quite a beautiful sight, a perfect afternoon well spent.

While this hike wasn't the "end all, be all" or the gnarliest endeavor set out on. It did get me thinking. But i'm always thinking... 💫

Being out there makes you undoubtedly fully present. While the presence is part of the joy of the experience, there's another piece of reflection that comes into play.

The bushwhack. 🌳

Life is like a bushwhack, to get to the best places, you have to choose your steps carefully.

It won't always be easy, sometimes it will be hard, and sometimes you'll want to turn around, but you'll find yourself in places that others don't dare to go.

Life would be boring if you always stayed on trail. 🗻

(*Obviously PLEASE educate yourself when you plan to hike in an area and leave a trail. Leave No Trace still applies to our practices! Leaving the trail in places where it is designated to not leave the trail is a non negotiable. Disclaimer done.) "

The human condition, it's something we all fall victim too, because, well – we are all human!


Sometimes it’s anxiety, (especially in the world today) – sometimes it’s anger, and other times it’s a lack of motivation for everyday ventures that we humans experience. Our range of emotions are vast, and not one can say they haven’t experienced a lapse in joy.


With it being Wellness Month – we figure, what better time than to talk about the best way to regulate our human condition, especially when it involves the outdoors!


Utilizing the outdoors to move through our emotions, can be a powerful tool, and a great excuse to get outside more! (Not that we ever need an excuse to get outside!)


We’ve highlighted 3 ways to move through your emotions by playing outside!

Read about them today on our blog --> news.outdoorful.com/2020/08/10/3-ways-to-regulate-emotions-in-the-outdoors/

You know that feeling, where endorphins mix with adrenaline to give you the best natural high imaginable?

Yea, thats how mountain biking makes me feel.

But what if you want to push that edge, what if you want to be better, so that you can access that feeling every time you're on your bike?

Can you picture yourself mountain biking with one of the world’s top authorities on riding technique?

Well its time to make your dream a reality! Lee McCormack wrote and illustrated the bibles of MTB and BMX riding: Mastering Mountain Bike Skills 2nd Edition and Pro BMXSkills.

As the skills development director for the National Interscholastic Cycling Association, he creates the curriculum used to teach high school mountain bike racers how to ride safer and faster, and teaches the coaches how to teach the riders!

Water and mountains have a way of bringing us back to reality. They highlight two pivotal facets of life, the masculine and the feminine.

The masculine being the strong, stable and action based areas of life. We turn to people like we turn to mountains. We look for support and strength to get through the hard times. We also lean into action when we know there's change that needs to take place. The mountains provide us, and remind us of these neccessary parts of life.🗻

Water on the other hand leans into the feminine areas of life, the areas where we learn to go with the flow, surrender to control and fall into the word "trust." 🌊

Where the mounatins meet the water, is where all areas of life come together to remind us of the beauty that we can't have one without the other! 💫
