Outside helps me live steady.
DBD Outdoors is where the real stuff lives: the trips, the lessons, the gear I actually use, and the field notes that help me keep showing up for my family.
Field Notes
Short, practical posts: what worked, what didn’t, and what I’d do again next time.
With the Kids
Family-first trips, simple wins, and the kind of memories that outlast everything else.
Moments
A few snapshots that say what this is really about — family, the outdoors, and showing up.
Field Notes
These are the posts that help someone else skip a mistake — or at least laugh about it.
