I spent the majority of my life in Colorado and don't remember much before Colorado except a few years we were in Oregon and I am now living in North Georgia. With that being said I have spent most of my childhood and adult life outside and have been hiking for as long as I can remember. I was worried that when I had a kid hiking and traveling wouldn't be possible and have tried to make sure that's not true. Here is a list of stuff I make sure to bring when my toddler and I go hiking together.
This list is only updated for summer in GA, I plan on adding more cold weather items later.

Gym shirts that don't show sweat, picked for guys who hate a tee that sticks to them mid-set. Each one is rated on how it handles sweat marks, how tight it actually fits, and whether it survives the wash. Every pick says who should skip it, so you buy one shirt instead of three.

If your phone slams against your hip every time you go downhill and your keys jingle like a wind chime on the trail, you already know most belt bags are designed for brunch, not actual movement.

I'm a runner who moved to Seattle about two years ago. In 2024, I ran 1500 miles from Seattle to Jasper, Alberta and back, and then I ran 1000 from the coast of Tanzania to the top of Kilimanjaro to East Africa's only public children's hopsital in Eldoret, Kenya. I trained for those runs here in Seattle, often with the Cowgill Trail Collective running club. You can learn more about me at irun.earth. What runs am I missing? Let me know! [email protected]

Took me a lot of trial and error so you can skip straight to what works.
Central Florida is a great place to learn to skate - free public parks in almost every city and flat, smooth pavement year round.

Bought a bike on impulse last spring and then stood in my garage realizing I had zero gear — no helmet, no pump, not even a water bottle cage. Instead of spending weeks researching, I ordered everything in one shot and was pedaling around my neighborhood the next evening. If you just got a bike and the pile of accessories out there is giving you decision paralysis, this is the shortcut I wish someone handed me.

Once I find a product I like I tend to buy it in a different color 😂 also something to note* I do not need a lot of support in terms of sports bras and I hate high compression clothing.
I've been hiking/going to creeks almost daily for the last 3 months of living in Northern AZ and these are my top recs for making your time in nature truly relaxing and enjoyable.
