Nice to meet you
I'm Sharadyn, an inside-kid-turned-outdoorsy adult. I didn't start learning how to hike, camp, or backpack until I was in my 20's. I taught myself all the skills needed to have a safe and enjoyable time outside mostly through hours of research and trial and error (lots and lots of error).
When starting in the outdoors I found that a lot of the Facebook groups and Reddit forums weren't exactly welcoming- especially to women, plus-size people, and those who didn't have any sort of background with the outdoors.
All this to say, I get it. I get being worried about your safety, what to bring, and what the unknowns are. That's why I made this guide.
