When I started hiking in 2012, I was in one of the deepest depressive states I’d ever been in. On that first trail, as I made my way up the biggest incline, I felt something inside loosen, unclench. I was aware of the sensation of my lungs filling all the way up, unlike the short, arrhythmic breaths I take when consumed with anxiety. I felt like I was actually *in* my body, not hovering somewhere above it like a balloon. All of my senses were engaged. It didn’t leave a lot of room for cyclical negative thoughts.

Unlikely Hikers is in solidarity with Indigenous communities demanding transparency for the “global glitch” responsible for deleting IG posts about Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirits (#MMIWG2S). Thank you @illuminative for creating this action to turn our feeds red.

I’ve got so much gratitude for this shout out in @aoc’s stories, along with all of my faves, and I’m thrilled to see her find peace and grounding in nature. Check out slide 2 to see our mention! 👆💨

"Happy AAPI Heritage Month! It’s been a rough year thus far, but I am proud to be Asian today, and every day. To kick off this month, I put together a list of Asian-owned or Asian-founded brands and companies in the outdoor space. It features companies like @webogear, @allmans.right, @hatchetsupply, and more.”

Our fam, @akunahikes (he/him), here to challenge perceptions of disability and chronic pain. What do you experience that people wouldn’t know just by looking at you? Share if you feel comfortable 🙌

ALL BODIES ON BIKES

I’m feeling so much tenderness about the ways we have been taught to think thoughts that aren’t even our own.

Unboxing video! Got these beautiful pieces from @universalstandard to try out.

How to Pee Standing Up Outside! Starring @the_pstyle and @kulacloth!

Felt cute, thought you needed to know about it 💁🏻‍♀️

No more too-small sleeping bags! Got the shock of my life recently testing out these sleeping bags from @eddiebauer. These aren’t a substitute for plus-size specific bags, and of course I want even bigger options, but this is SOMETHING. Thank you, EB!!!

Beyond the clothing, gear and representation issues fat-hikers experience, it’s interactions with other hikers that can turn our restorative, healing, centering time outside into reminders of what we’re trying to get away from in weight-obsessed dominant culture.
