I’m going to guess most of our followers care about doing better for our planet and making more informed shopping decisions, right?

It’s going to be a big month of announcements here at Unlikely Hikers. All things that will make what we do even better and more accessible to as many Unlikely Hikers as possible.

“For me, the outdoors and nature mean connecting with my ancestral guides and finding wisdom in the teachings of other beings. As a member of the Mi’kmaw people, and the LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent communities, being in nature is where I feel grounded and accepted on all levels. Being an Unlikely Hiker means taking the path less traveled and helping to expand access to these wild spaces. The wild places of my life have shaped who I am today and continue to be vessels of healing, comfort, and learning. My time with nature is always sacred and I honor the beings and wild spaces that nourish my mind, body, and spirit every day.”

“I have always been the fat kid. I started noticing I was gonna be the fat kid around 3rd grade when I noticed that I was bigger than all of my friends and I assumed the role with pride. Jokes were made and I grew tough skin.

Unlikely Hikers and friends, what does the outdoors inspire in you?

Scientific* data shows that just 20 minutes a day outside can help keep you from completely losing your marbs in an increasingly counterintuitive culture that squashes our body trust and distances us from joyful movement and our innate connections with the land.

This is us. For the last couple of months, we’ve been—along with Big Judy (asleep in the backseat)—driving up and down the west coast, living on the road, living in an RV in San Diego and occasionally living in our actual house in Portland. IT’S A LOT and sounds way more glamorous than it is, but we’re still finding time to get outside for our mental wellness and to balance all of the sitting in my car.

Can’t wait until outdoor brands, including the ones I work with, start regularly posting plus-size folks in their social media feeds.

PLUS-SIZE BACKPACKS ARE DROPPING MAY 25TH, 2021!

Being fat is normal. We are not outliers. We are not a problem to be solved. We have always existed and we are more than valid.
