Having a mindset of a forager keeps you intimately connected to your natural surroundings and grateful for the abundance the earth provides.?It’s an art form, really. For many, it’s a way of life." https://lnkd.in/gWBkxv5A

New blog post up from LAURA KILLINGBECK! "I purchased my first BV500 in 2018, in preparation for a 3700 mile cycling trip around eastern Canada.

Hi Friends, Fam, and Colleagues! Many of you may know that outside of work, I sit on the board of the American Long Distance Hiking Association West (ALDHA-West). I spend a lot of time hiking long-distance trails and it's my goal to help make my passion more accessible to everyone. A few months ago as an organization, we set out to begin working against the issue of BIPOC hiker under-representation in our organization and on the trails we know and love. With the help of an incredible grant and some incredible outdoor gear companies, I'm excited to announce the 2024 ALDHA-West Diversity Hiker Scholarship recipients! HUGE thanks to the Live for a Living foundation for the grant, Abstracthikes for painting the program logo, and our 2024 ALDHA-West Triple Crown level sponsors for providing the gear to make this program possible! #aldhawest ALDHA-West Six Moon Designs Treeline Review Sawyer Products Gossamer Gear Inc.
