Expedition Unlikely

Joshua Rohde
There can be hurdles for every family when getting outside. Some are more unique than others. The solutions to those obstacles aren't always clear. And many resources will tell you what to buy, where to go, and how to do it. But they probably won't tell you what to really expect with your family. Or what to do next when things don't go as planned.It's easy to feel overwhelmed and give up on connecting with your family in the outdoors. It takes work and a spark of passion. And if you have that passion, we will put together plans with you to make it less work and more fun.You can always research the equipment and gear, but not the family experience.
Pack Light, Travel Further
This is the last of 4 parts on the theory to a great experience.We all have a natural tendency to bring everything we might need. And we have been conditioned to believe some false beliefs on what that is.So if that's not it, what is it? How do we pack light?I can tell you, it's not always about the gear.

And because of that we can underestimate our commitments and get complacent. A garden is a great way to spend time with your family outside.

Walking Into a Trap
Today I'm going to share a story of when I didn't set a goal for a summer vacation we took and it shows. The experience we had did not have a direction and it didn't give our family what it needed at the time. As I look back on it I worry what impact it had on my family when I know it could have been so much more. Setting a goal would have given us the direction we needed to be better prepared for what was coming.
