This is Bre Wanders — a space where I share not just outdoor adventures, gear, and photography, but also reflections on preparedness, creative practices, hobbies I’m exploring (like stationery and systems), and faith-centered ideas — all woven together through curiosity, intention, and everyday life. Stay awhile, wander with me through nature and thought, and find something that resonates.
Introducing the Biolite FirePit the smokeless campfire of the future. That uses patent airflow technology thats like jet fuel for your flames giving you a hyper-efficient fire that wont chase you around camp.
The Vasque Breeze Lite is a quick, light-weight hiking boot that will take you the distance without feeling the miles. These boots feel like luxury while cutting weight and providing elite traction. Rest assured your feet will stay dry as the Breeze LT is as breathable as it is waterproof, making this the perfect boot for all your wet Pacific Northwest adventures and arid Southwestern ventures alike.
After several years of camping and backpacking, I have gone through my fair share of tents I started small and went big then back to small, it’s been fun testing out tents find out what worked and what didn’t, but not everyone has the luxury or the time to fail at least a few times. I finally found one I wish I would have started with. A tent with a super livable space thats big enough, strong enough, and light enough, at a price that’s attainable for most backpackers and campers alike.
The best feeling in the world is having dirt under your boots and everything you need to survive on your back, and nowadays we have so many options for those things we carry in our pack to help us survive in the backcountry and the decisions can be paralyzing. Use my gear guide to help curate your own backpacking kit, and never be in the wilderness without an essential piece of gear again. Learn what you should and should’t bring along and tips and tricks on how to pack and prep for your next trip.
Day hikes are short so maybe you think that means less gear, but that’s not necessarily true. Heres a quick run through of my day pack, what I like to bring along and also what is necessary to always bring along. Learn how to outfit your own pack with the perfect supplies for any adventure.
