Happy Monday Fam,
We’re back. I missed you.
For many of you, this may be the first time you’re getting this email. My bad. The previous email system I was using was not working the right way so I moved all your emails to a new system.
If you did not/no longer want to receive this email, sorry you’re getting this. Please feel free to unsubscribe below. It’ll be permanent with this new system.
For those of you who do want to stick around, you’ll see this email is different. The mission remains the same, an email that’ll help you plan your outdoorsy weekends faster. It’ll continue to evolve over the next few weeks as I get used to editing and improving it to the point you look forward to receiving it. Thank you for sticking with me.
Anyway, see you out there fam!
-Al

Fam News 🙌
Every trip, I ask fam to share some good news about themselves that happened to them in the last week. This new section is for that.
Jess on the Winter Solstice Overnight
Jess literally started hiking in Aug 2025 and went HAM. Less than five months later, her IG has blown up and she’s even getting sponsors! Go show Jess some love at @jessoutofthecity
A friend recently asked for vegan food reco’s in Queens. I asked Outerthere fam Laura and she sent me her secret vegan Queens resto tracker: @queens_vegan. Enjoy, fam. And thank you Laura!
This isn’t good news, but wanted to let you all know. Our amazing breathwork coach, Eddie recently lost his baby sister over the holidays. Go send him some love at @eddiepabonofficial (links to post announcement post)
