MOM Series: Introducing kids to fly fishing
I believe that fly fishing isn’t just a sport, it’s a skill to be passed on. It teaches patience, respect for nature, fieldcraft and the joy of slowing down in a fast-paced world. And there is no feeling quite like catching your first fish.
So, here’s to lost fish, tangled lines, and unforgettable memories!
MOM Series: hiking with your baby
I know the idea of hiking up a mountain, or walking windswept coastal paths, with your kids, might feel intimidating at first. Then there’s the gear, the planning, the ‘what ifs’. But ‘what if’ it is much easier than you think?
If you can find a way to start your adventure mindset, and bring your kids along for the journey, I guarantee it will spark a lifetime of connection with the outdoors for them. Even if you’re tired. Even if your body feels different. Even if the pace is slow and the hike is short because you’ve had to adapt to your little ones’ needs.
MOM Series: Getting back in the game - shotgun shooting after baby

This is for every outdoorswoman who was scared about what life would look like when she became a mother. It is for every mum-to-be who has had people laugh in disbelief when she said she would still enjoy the outdoors when her baby arrives. It’s for every new mum who’s been made to feel guilty for wanting time in nature. Its for every parent who wants to bring home the venison or grow their own veggies to feed their family regardless of where they live.
And, most importantly, it’s for every woman who loves the outdoors but feels like she needs permission to go back or be imperfect because life has got in the way.
