Good Gear, Good Trail Ethics, Good Times

Introducing Oats

I am a solo thru-hiker with over 3,000 miles under my belt, making me the perfect conduit for culture, lingo, and other backcountry knowledge.

I help long-distance backpacking gear and media companies who strive to engage their audience by providing authentic, diverse, and informative content to increase community engagement in their online spaces.

Through my work, I am able to educate audiences on good trail ethics and strive for an outdoor community where everyone feels like they belong.

What trails can you find me on next?

Spring/Summer 2024

Iā€™ll be visiting my Woods Hole family before heading on to Appalachian Trail Days in Damascus this Spring.

If youā€™re a local to the southern Appalachians, come volunteer at Carolina Mountain Clubā€™s Max Patch Work Day on National Trails Day (sponsored by Sawyer!)

Later in the summer you can catch me on the west coast at Pacific Crest Trail Days.

Weā€™ll see where the hiking ends up fitting in, but you know Iā€™ll find somewhere beautiful to trek along the trips.
