The Wilderdad Story

The Why

Wilderdad aims to give good parents a break, to throw you a life vest that’ll keep your head afloat in the choppy seas of parenthood. And man, do they get choppy.

Like most of us, I didn’t learn much about parenting from my folks. They came from a long line of parents who had no idea what they were doing. And they passed the tradition down to me.

But, like me, you’ve probably learned from your significant other that ignorance doesn’t fly as an excuse any more. And that’s where Wilderdad comes in.

Wilderdad hopes to make parenthood a little easier and to make you feel like you actually know what you’re doing (sometimes).

The How

We do all this with stories to inspire, advice to guide, and gear to motivate. Wilderdad tries to lay out a road map that bridges parenthood with adventure.

Now, we don’t have all the answers. That’s for sure. But we care about being good parents. And that goes a long way.

The Who

We’re the new generation of parents. Sure, we push ourselves at work and our sports of choice. But, we also read bedtime stories to our kids, help with homework, and watch the latest Pixar movie 112 times.

We’re a collective of real parents who love our kids, our families, and the outdoors.

We believe the outdoors holds a key to building a happy family. We believe spending time outdoors, whether urban parks, lakeshores, or remote mountains, teaches confidence, creativity, problem solving, teamwork, self-control, and respect for each other and nature.

Sound like you? Well, then you’re one of us too.

See you in the wild,

Steve Lemig
