For active families and hikers heading to national parks, where the nearest clinic can be hours away.
Inside National Parks + Outdoor Adventures
- The full guide, read online as a book, always current as new issues land
- Six short videos to share before or during the trip, added after launch. Everyone who bought earlier gets each one, and the price goes to $50 once all six are in.
- An overview deck that walks the whole trip in one sitting, for the planning talk at the kitchen table.
- One-page team cards for how your travelers talk and work together: a before-we-leave huddle card, a who-does-what card, a card for when something goes wrong, and one card per issue.
- Printable checklists: packing, an emergency protocol, and a partner discussion guide.
- A 6x9 paperback for the bag, with the team cards, checklists and emergency protocol each on its own page. It comes after the online guide.
Two hours from a clinic changes the decisions you make on a park trip. You split a remote kit across everybody's packs, check whether the sensor still agrees with you as the trail climbs, and keep sugar in your pocket while the bear box wants it locked away. Six hours of hiking, cold nights and hot cars fill the same week.
A group spread out along a trail needs a turn-back agreement made at the kitchen table, before anyone is tired. The team cards set who holds which part of the kit and who makes the call to turn around.
