About the Founder

My name’s Chase.

I’ve done a lot of things professionally: journalist, comms professional, marketer. I’ve spent my professional life mostly behind a screen.

But in leisure, I’ve always done one thing that I truly loved: camping.

Growing up, our family vacations were done on an extreme budget. Weekend trips to some place we can drive. We had a cheap Walmart tent and brought blankets from home as our bedding. We cooked on the fire—no Coleman stove in those early days. We went to bed when the summer sun went down and woke up when the tent got too hot to stay wrapped up.

No GameBoy. No TV. Just me, my folks and the great outdoors.

This magazine is an ode to the joy of my life and if you’re reading this, there’s a good chance it’s an ode to yours, too. Thanks for coming out.
