Expedition Unlikely
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.
