Trail-tested · Road-tripped
Real backpacking, national parks, long road trips. Trail-tested tips + the gear to survive the Great Outdoors or the Grand Hotel.
What you'll find here
How to plan a trip and actually take it
Everything we post comes from a trip we took ourselves: the route, what it cost, what we packed and what we'd change next time.
Trip plans that work
Day-by-day routes with the drive times, stays and food stops, plus a live map you can save.
Gear that earned its spot
What we carry, what we left home, and what survived the rain. Honest notes, no filler.
National parks, properly
Scrambles, trail notes and park-by-park planning across the US, Canada and Mexico.
The road office
Our GMC Sierra build with Starlink, and how we're turning weekend trips into weeks of working from the road.
Coming soon
Guides, gear and a crew to go with
Two new homes are on the way. Follow along on Instagram to hear first.
About us
Ben & Amy
We're a weekend adventure duo with a lot of national park miles behind us: backpacking, scrambling and long drives across the US, Canada and some of Mexico.
Now we're kitting out a GMC Sierra with Starlink to stretch weekend trips into weeks on the road, and sharing how we plan every one along the way.
