Our official (and PC) motto is “Adventure is a Mindset”. But, as time has gone on, a more colloquial version has come into being. “Doing cool shit with cool people” That’s really what it’s all about! We love the outdoors. Whether it’s in the woods, on the mountains, under the ocean, in the arctic, in...

Let’s stop pretending: something will go wrong on your expedition. It might be minor, it might be major, but it’s coming. Whether it’s weather, injury, illness, broken kit, or someone just mentally checking out—sooner or later, something will go sideways. That’s part of it. Expeditions aren’t controlled environments. They’re not curated experiences with safety nets...

People hear the word “expedition” and picture adventure. Jungle canopies, epic sunrises, hammocks slung between trees. And yeah, those moments exist. But they’re just the highlights. What most of the trip looks like is this: you wake up, you pack up, you get moving, and you keep moving—sometimes for hours. Then you do it again...

Let’s be clear: expeditions aren’t glamorous. You’ll be tired, wet, uncomfortable, and probably carrying a pack that feels far too heavy by the second day. You’ll be away from all the nice things in life—no phone signal, no soft bed, no decent toilet. So, why do it? Because it’s real. Because it strips everything back...
