To your health.
Being outside benefits you inside.
A remedy for modern times.
Out There offers men outdoor adventures that are intentional, impactful and truly wild. It’s about getting off the grid and out of the daily grind to get reconnected with what matters most. Come back to life outside and reclaim your wild, happy and healthy self.
Adventure with purpose & impact.
Adventure is the conscious practice of expanding our boundaries—both internal and external—through activities that excite the soul, energize the body and focus the mind.
Pushing ourselves—inwardly with awareness and outwardly with risk—increases our own capacity for joy, resilience, empathy, entrepreneurship and personal innovation.
Above all, adventure brings us closer to ourselves, each other, and the natural world.
I truly believe these types of experiences are the very best investment we can make in our lives and our relationships.
Disconnect to reconnect.
HERE’S THE SITUATION:
Too many men are short-changed by the speed of modern life.
Worn out, we end up taking the path of least resistance which leaves us feeling foggy, lonely, empty, and full of doubt.
Which is not how we’re meant to live.
These trips and retreats help men tap into the transformative and clarifying power of nature, adventure, fun, and meaningful connection with other courageous men.
The results you’re looking for.
Come back clear, connected and committed to what you value most.
Build the bonds of brotherhood with those who are passionate about livin’ and committed to exploring what they are capable of at work and at home.
Laugh your ass off, tell great stories, get scratched up, test your grit, live in gratitude, find clarity, feel refreshed and ready to pour into what matters and ditch what doesn’t.
Tools & Practices.
HOW I FACILITATE GROWTH:
Real talk.
Real tools.
Better Mental Health & Wellness.
These outdoor experiences get you out of your everyday routines and habits. You’ll get to explore your life through helpful conversations and personalized outdoor activities that create opportunities for meaningful growth and transformation.
We go outside to explore what’s goin’ on inside. This powerful combo will challenge and inspire you to action, and prepare you for whatever life throws at you next.
Because life doesn’t get any easier, we just get better - one step closer to our full potential.

Outside of the soul fueling outdoor excursions, the other tools and resources we’ll use are non-religious, non-guru, no-nonsense, and scientifically proven methods and bio-hacks for improving mental health and wellness while we’re together.
Think cold plunges in mtn creeks, hot soaks in natural hot springs, maybe get weird with some breath work, fireside conversations, journal prompts, or quiet moments for contemplation (on top of a literal mountain) - just to name a few of the wellbeing practices we might explore . We’ll sample as little or as much whoo-whoo as you prefer.
At various points throughout the trip we’ll also just be talking about your story, what’s working and what isn’t, and where you’re going next. It’s very causal conversations that are go-with-the-flow while we’re out there.
I promise not to make it weird.
Essentially it’s just a good ole time in the great outdoors - out on a grand adventure, away from distractions, chasing the sun and finding the fun, talking about real life and livin’ wild.
The great outdoors has yet to fail me when it comes to charging back up my batteries and helping me feel more connected and alive again.
Getting out there in the wild makes us better - and that’s kinda the whole point.
About me.
I help busy men unplug and get outside.
GARY, Founder
Kenai River, AK
Each Out There trip is curated and outfitted by me, Gary - your Adventure Capt’n, Outdoor Guru and Head Sherpa around here.
I see my role as the curator of good vibes and fun outdoor experiences, and look forward to hosting you for an incredible adventure. I’m also an advocate for men’s health and wellness, and I believe that spending time in the great outdoors makes us healthier and happier.
I help ambitious men find a healthier mindset and lifestyle that unlocks the best of themselves. To go from hustle and burnout, to health and happiness. Inspiring men to reclaim their natural desire to explore, experiment and expand their thinking so that they value a life of purpose over achievement.
So there you have it - I’m your Adventure Capt’n & Outdoor Guru for the journey ahead.
Basically, what it means is that we’ll get outside, find the fun, test our grit, rediscover our wonder and joy, talk about the things that matter most, and become men who are healthier and happier in mind, body and spirit.
About you.
Out There is for guys who want to make the most of life, who are seeking a path that prioritizes meaning over ease.
It’s for men who are searching for a change of pace and a shift in perspective - a jolt back to life by chasing fun and adventure, and a much needed shift by finding stillness, calm and clarity.
It’s for men looking for experiences that will challenge and inspire, but also bring a deep sense of renewal.
It’s for men who know that something’s gotta change for them to become a better version of themselves—one with more purpose, more depth, and more connection—and want to jumpstart that process.
