The Great Outdoors

Jodi never thought she’d find herself at Arches National Park in Moab, Utah, now she can’t stop thinking about when she can go back

Do you have the desire to spend more time outdoors, but aren’t sure where to start?  Are you interested in learning how to camp, but feel a little clueless about camping gear, camp cooking, how to make a campfire or even how to choose a campsite? You’ve landed in the right place.

We Do This For Fun is a podcast and community about thriving in the great outdoors. It’s for outdoor experts and novices alike and a place to help you find the unique ways that you can connect with nature. We bring you ideas, tips and tricks, inspirational humans and transformational experiences to help guide your path to increased time in the outdoors.

We share ideas that may seem counterintuitive, like “it’s important to be uncomfortable”. Why?  Because the accomplishment you feel after discomfort builds your strength and confidence and flows into all aspects of life. Slowly, you may find you have a new perspective on  “fun”, the courage to say yes to things you’d never considered for yourself and heightened resilience that eases your day to day existence.

What we can promise you- you will discover something if you go outside. Something that moves you, changes your perspective or even transforms your life. It’s your curiosity that will help you find your outdoor “fun”. Maybe it’s van life, an RV or a tent. Maybe it’s a bike, cross country skis, or a canoe. It could be the Boundary Waters, Glacier or a rainforest in Belize. Maybe it’s simply a campfire in your backyard. Until you get out there, you don’t know what your “thing” is. Join us each week for inspiration to take that first step outside your front door or to build the outdoor adventure of a lifetime.
