I'm doing a little "social media audit" and I need I'm doing a little "social media audit" and I need your help. 

What type of content can I create that's helpful for you?
- Do you want more gear recommendations and deals?
- More travel guides and places to go?
- More how to's like building a quinzee or winter camping? 
- More seeing what adventures I'm up to? - Behind-the-scenes stuff? 

Throw any suggestions down in the comments and let me know!
It’s Blue Monday and I have to admit January has It’s Blue Monday and I have to admit January has felt kind of weird. I think it’s the toll of COVID, lack of any real “holiday” over the holidays and the fact that I haven’t adventured anywhere in about 6 weeks (for work or otherwise, which is unusual for me).

So what do I do to keep my spirits up?
- a workout every day - either 30min of weights or an hour of running outside
- napping when I need an energy boost (I don’t drink coffee if you can believe it)
- organizing my outdoor & winter gear
- keeping my office space tidy so I can stay focused on work
- chats on the phone with my mom
- planning future trips with friends
- binging a bit of Netflix for a distraction
- listening to an audiobook when cleaning or running
- making lists to keep me m on track each day

What do you all do to keep busy, focused and in a good mental space?
