Hey! I’m Denae
Welcome to the weekend forecast
I started this blog with the mission to provide people with the best information on outdoors activities, so that no matter the skill level, they feel comfortable in nature. Whether it’s camping, hiking, backpacking, solo trips, or road trips; my mission is to inspire you to get outside! I’ve been hiking and camping for 10 years, backpacking for over 5 years, I am Wilderness First Aid certified, and I’ve taken multiple newbies backpacking. I’m a military wife; I’ve lived in four states over the past five years, and I’ve done countless trips solo. I’ve also hosted international trips to Patagonia, Argentina, and am planning my next group adventure in the Canadian Rockies in the summer of 2024. (To learn more, click here.) I’m super passionate about travel as a whole and you can find tips on solo travel and budget travel here as well.
Ever since I was a child, I’ve loved camping and being outside. When I was 17 I went on my first backpacking trip. I had no idea what I was doing, but I was immediately hooked. As I got older, I kept going on trips, and learning – from trial and error – what gear to use, how to prepare for a trip, how to choose a trail, and everything in between. I started sharing my adventures on social media 5 years ago, as a creative outlet and a way to share my love of the outdoors – and to my surprise, my account grew! I realized how much I loved sharing my adventures and after working 10+ years as a waitress to pay off college debt,
I decided to take the leap and make outdoors/travel content creation my full-time job!
I’m so excited you’re here! Whether you’re a seasoned vet, or brand new to trail life, I have gear recs, trip itineraries, and life tips for everyone.
