When I started this community, I built it for people who love the outdoors and want more from it. That hasn't changed — but something's been on my mind. For every one of us out there enjoying it, there's someone stuck at the front door. Someone who's never started, or who lost their outdoor life to injury, burnout or just... life, and can't find the way back. I was that person once. I didn't knwo how to get started, then ended up in a career instructing and coaching. Then in 2023 I had my first child and suffered from PND and loss of identity - I had to work hard to get back the confidence I had when outdoors. So from this month, Recalibrate Outdoors is officially for them too — and I'm opening a small number of 1-1 coaching spots to walk that journey with people personally. Nothing changes for you except this: you're now the welcome party. If you know someone who keeps saying 'I really should get outdoors more' — send them here. And if part of that story sounds like you, my door's open. 💬 Hope you guys can get behind this - it's about educating and supporting others

If we're being honest, we all had that 1 "survival skill' we heard in a movie, that we believed was true until we became more experienced: which one was yours? 1. Follow a river downstream if you're lost The theory: water leads to towns. The reality: it often leads to gorges, cliffs, and worse terrain than where you started. SAR pros usually say stay put instead. 2. Cotton kills Wet cotton loses insulation and stays wet, so hypothermia risk goes up. True in cold, wet conditions — a little less relevant on a dry summer day hike. 3. Suck the venom out of a snakebite Straight out of old Westerns. Doctors have been saying for decades this does nothing and can make things worse. Get help. Don't do this. 1. something else

I have just enrolled on my pathway to becoming an outdoor and adventure therapist. Since I started in the outdoor industry I haven't always felt at home. Never into the ego driven rapid descents or climbing the highest crag / mountain. I am much more interested in personal development of people. I think, this is where I'm meant to be heading next. Excited and ready 💪🏼

Today I heard from Kelly. Kelly is a personal trainer and fitness guru that loves the outdoors but wanted more confidence in her skillset. I've worked with her on 2 sessions so far, building confidence in: ✅ Knife work ✅ Tool use ✅ Processing wood for a fire ✅ Lighting & maintaining a fire ✅ Leave No Trace ethics ✅ Navigation basics ✅ Trip / route planning Kelly just got in touch with some awesome photos from her solo wild camp which she is obviously buzzing about and was kind enough to say that our sessions together have helped! She has another session booked, ready to delve a little deeper into her skillset now. If you're looking for something similar, please do get in touch - always happy to help.
