The Adventurous Souls Outdoors Brand Story
Our Origin Story: Born on the Appalachian Trail
Adventurous Souls Outdoors was born from a shared love of the outdoors and a life-changing journey. In 2010, a group of friends from diverse backgrounds met while thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail. United by the challenges and triumphs of the trail, they forged an unbreakable bond and discovered their true purpose: to help others experience the transformative power of nature.
The Problem We Solve: Reconnecting People with Nature
In today's fast-paced, technology-driven world, many people feel disconnected from the natural world. They yearn for a deeper sense of purpose, adventure, and belonging.
