Short Videos from the wilderness
The wilderness is a great and endless source of inspiration. Every video here draws from that inspiration with the intention of sharing all the positive things that come from being in nature.
The Soul and the Mountain
The soul needs connection with the earth. Living in modern society is like putting the soul in a container that cuts it off from the environment it craves. This soul craves the mountain, so we must follow it there. The mountain provides ancient wisdom that we can bring back to society with us.
Quarantine Mental Health - Get Outdoors
Our brains and bodies have evolved to respond to the cues found in the wilderness, because the wilderness was home for most of human history. Now we have strayed so far from our original home, it's no wonder that so many of us feel lost and confused.
The pandemic has forced us to social distance and isolate ourselves, but this doesn't have to be a bad thing. The quarantine has created a space in our chaotic and fast-paced lifestyles for some reflection. Let's look at this time as an opportunity to explore inward. The best place to do that is in the wilderness where there are no distractions.
Life is simpler out there and there is plenty of time to process all the mental baggage we have been carrying around for years. It won't always be easy, but the wilderness reminds us that life isn't about being comfortable all the time, it's about doing things that are so rewarding that the discomfort pales in comparison..
Upper Peninsula Backcountry
We have talked about finding backcountry spots to ride in the UP for years, but this was the first year we actually did anything about it. We discovered that it's very hard to ride the terrain around here, but when we do find a decent spot the riding is really fun.
What Really Matters
What really matters in life? These questions come up more often and are easier to answer when we remove all of the extraneous things and go into nature.
