You've beaten me to the intro but to get started, head across to the #Welcome! to explore how we do things here. 🌳 Pop over to the resources category to grab some free resources 🌳 Courses will open up as you level up, so feel free to go through them. 🌳Lastly, find one post you like and engage with it 😁 Super glad to have you here 😎🔥

Okay team - let's collaborate! I want to create a top 10 essential outdoor skills resource for those in the group that are earlier on in their journey. This document will cover 10 top skills considered 'essential' in practicing in the outdoors safely. So, if you have one - pop it below and this will become our first Recalibrate Outdoors collaborative resource! Exciting! I'll pop one in the comments, but I'd love to hear from others in the group too. I'll leave this thread open until Monday 11th May so get your suggestions in by then 🙌
