In the magical Pacific Northwest, more specifically in the outdoor playground that is Bend, Oregon.

Bend is on the east side of the Cascade mountain range. Think high desert, sunshine and tons of outdoor fun for all four seasons. Bend’s climate is more like Utah or Colorado, its very different than Portland or Seattle. Bend gets 300 days of sunshine a year (not much rain) and has four distinct seasons to play in - from snow skiing in the winter, to summer river surfing or rafting, to sand dunes for moto missions, or massive red rock walls for rock climbing. Within a 1-2 hour radius of Bend, we literally have it all. That’s why this town has been a hotspot for the outdoorsy for decades. But it’s still relatively small and untouched.

Bend is an incredible home base, but many of these trips take us up and down the entire left coast of North America - from Alaska to Mexico. You’ll fly or meet at launch points that could include Anchorage AK, Seattle WA, Portland OR, Boise ID, Oakland CA, San Diego CA, Cabo San Lucas MX, Puerto Vallarta MX, etc.

At my Base Camp in Bend, OR I have a outdoor hot water shower and a freshly cleaned porto potty. When we’re out and about we’ll typically have restrooms in or close to camp, and we’ll ‘shower’ in lakes, rivers or hot springs.

On occasion when we’re way out there we’ll have all the kit needed to dig ‘cat holes’ and take care of business out in a hole out in the wild. But that is more of the exception than the rule. During our excursions there always seems to be a restroom around - whether it’s a roadside gas station or restaurant, or pit toilet at a campground or trailhead. Toilets are honestly never far off and hasn’t been a deal breaker for any trips thus far.

We’ll have hand sanitizer and biodegradable soap for dishes, hands and showers.

Most of the time we’ll be roughing it, but you’ll have the basic creature comforts covered to ensure a good nights sleep so that we can tackle the fun outings the following day. I provide sleeping bags, pillows, tents, pads or cots. On occasion we’ll even have normal comfy beds. It all just depends on the kind of trip you sign up for. Either way, sleep is always super important and we’ll ensure you’re taken care of.

Most trips I offer are all-inclusive with some exceptions. But generally my goal is to take care of everything so that all you have to do is pack your bags (packing list provided), show up and get out there.

I’ll have accommodations covered, meals and snacks, and all the beverages - even coffee and beer. Most of the time these trips include any adventure gear we’ll need too - from rentals to backup gear incase you leave something at home. On occasion, upon your request we can do all sorts of upgrades (at your expense) - example: upgrades in accommodations, or renting high-powered motos or sleds, or even booking an excursion that is above and beyond the ordinary (via helicopter, floatplane or boat).

Either way my goal is take care of all those kinds of details so that you don’t have to. Your life is hectic and busy enough. I want to make it super easy for you to say ‘YES’ and get out there.

The big picture for these trips is that we get a little wild and risky, but it’s still safety first. Even when we’re out of cell signal we’ll have sat phones and devices for emergencies. And we always have a legit first aid kit on hand. Rest easy knowing that every adventure is generally within an hour or two from an Urgent Care or ER.

Either way liability waivers will be signed and for larger trips I would recommend some sort of travel insurance. For bigger expeditions we can even bring a medical professional with us (we’ve done it before) so that we’re ready for anything that might happen - especially when we’re far off the beaten path in Alaska or Mexico.

Indeed we can. That’s the dream right there. Collaborations are my favorite things and I do several of them each year. I built a page to talk about this idea further: Partner

For private group trips the most affordable options are going to be the trips right here in Bend, OR - mtn bike camp, wellness retreat, etc…

If price is a barrier for you when it comes to the Personal Retreat or Adventure Coaching (my two most impactful experiences), please reach out. I actually have mentors and partners who can help with partial sponsorships. Ultimately these experiences are meant to be a helpful tool and I’d hate for price to be a deterrent. So please reach out and we’ll work together to find a doable solution.
