As parents, all we wish for is a long and healthy and happy life for our children. And when that life gets cut tragically short, some turn to the legacy that life left behind.

Happy Holidays, everyone. I hope any of your outdoor adventures and Christmas hikes are safe and joyful.

The outdoors are a beautiful that can be filled with light and bliss and many different ways to bring yourself closer to those you love and yourself. But they can also be filled with terror and death, imminent and oppressive. Join me as we dig into these stories that inspire you to be just a little bit more careful while you’re in the outdoors. Please rate and subscribe from whatever listening platform you use.

Be sure to join us on Patreon for exclusive content, sneak peaks, and more!

Be sure to follow us on Instagram and Facebook to get the most up to see photos and relevant episode information.

And don’t forget to send us a Campfire Confessional to [email protected] - accepting all stories from the outdoors but especially looking for those that make us laugh to help lighten the heaviness that comes with tragedy.
