Brands We Love
REI Co-Op
REI is the place where Ashlee fell in love with outdoor gear saving all her money to buy gear for the next epic trip when she was in college! We still have gear purchased 20+ years ago at the REI garage sales when we lived in Grand Junction, Colorado.
Patagonia
We are die-hard users of Patagonia products for camping, hiking, snowboarding, and everyday life. We have sent gear in to be fixed many times and love that Patagonia stands by their brand and fixes gear - so people don’t have to buy new products. There is less consumer waste this way.

Good To-Go Dehydrated Meals
The first time we ever tried Good to-Go dehydrated meals, we had been hiking in the Ozarks for 6 hours straight during the middle of summer. We knew we had to tell our audience about Good to-Go when Pablo said, "These are so good, can we buy them for my work lunches!"
Sustainable Outdoor Products
We are all about supporting outdoor brands with company missions to use less waste and create a better tomorrow through sustainable product creation and consumerism.
We’re sharing our top gear picks for the eco-conscious outdoor enthusiast. Check out this useful and practical sustainable outdoor gift and product guide!

Travel Tip!
Always buy travel insurance for international travel or when flying - you never know what can happen.
We have had two major international trips prepaid and canceled due to unexpected life events. We received a full refund on tickets that were thousands of dollars each, thanks to Travel Insurance Master. The cool thing is that you can select exactly the kind of coverage you need! It is curtailed to your trip and types of adventures. We even buy for our road trips far from home.
