Hi! I’m Chris, and welcome to Outdoor Reboot!
I’m an avid hiker, biker, camper, swimmer, jogger, and many other things. I’ve been living and breathing the outdoors for over 10 years, and I made Outdoor Reboot to share my experience and knowledge with the world.
Unlike many in the niche, I wasn’t brought up in the outdoors. Growing up, my family preferred destination vacations, beach trips, and other “streamlined” activities (which were amazing & fun!). I was very much a bike-around-the-neighborhood and hang out with friends outside sorta kid.
It wasn’t until I moved out of the house and was on my own that I took an interest in the great outdoors – specifically camping. After reading a bunch of “How to Camp on a Budget” articles, I set out with my $50 tent (big mistake), sleeping bag, and some snacks. Though it wasn’t the greatest experience, I was hooked.
Camping was the gateway that led me to dive into other adjacent activities like hiking, rock climbing, kayaking, paddle boarding, and the hundreds of hours I spent reading & researching it all.
This site is the result of all said research and first-hand experience. You’ll find in-depth guides on all those topics and more. No matter what outdoor activities you enjoy, you’ll find something here that appeals to you.
My goal is to be the resource I wish I had when first starting. Whether it’s your first camping trip or your 100th hike, your best experience is my #1 priority.
