This isn’t a tell-all. It’s a torch. Not a memoir. A map. Smudged, dog-eared, and weather-worn—but it’ll get you there. These are the tiers that keep the light on and the ink from drying up.
⛰️ Trailhead – Pay What You Can
Support what you can, when you can. Every dollar helps keep the stories moving.
The trail starts here—Honest-to-goodness credos with just enough wild to keep your eyes beady and keep you coming back.
- Monthly Field Notes: trail updates, reflections, and a few hard-won truths
- Stuff to keep your compass pointed somewhere honest

🥾 Hayduke’s Circle – $7/month
“May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.” – Edward Abbey
Switchbacks & Side Trails. Where the terrain starts to shift—and the view gets real. Let’s kick up some dust and see what happens.
- Everything from Daisy If You Do
- Full National Park Field Guides (dog-friendly hikes, routes, and family tips)
- Jake’s downloadable photo art (for your phone, your wall, or your glove box)
- Glovebox drafts – bits of writing, audio rambles, and the stuff that didn’t make the blog but still needed out
- You ask, we spiral – monthly answers to your actual questions, probably recorded while I was unpacking a pocket full of rocks I swore I wasn’t going to keep (again)
- Mail that shouldn’t exist – postcards, mini prints, trail scraps, or something Novi decided was important

🐻The Crustys – $15/month
“What threatens to break us can also break us open.”
—Terry Tempest Williams
Don’t bust the crust. A Moab code. It means stay off the fragile soil, respect the land, and don’t mess with what’s still holding together. Tread lightly—but carry a big stick.
- Everything from Hayduke’s Circle
- First access to new blog chapters before they go live
- One Minute With – Novi’s ASMR, Gemma’s hot takes, Jake’s trail wisdom, and maybe a rogue pickle recipe if Doc doesn’t get to it first. Plus special guest appearances once a month.
- Campfire Playlist – a new Spotify mix every month, made for campfires, long drives, or cooking barefoot somewhere you shouldn’t be
- S’mores & Lore – monthly dispatch with our best (and worst) s’more attempts + one wild fire circle story (like the time we saw a skinwalker at White Sands)
- Behind-the-Shot – the story behind one of Jake’s photos: why he took it, what went sideways, and what we saw right after
- Workout of the Month – a quick, no-BS workout you can do anywhere (trailhead, driveway, living room). No influencers. Just real movement for real life.
- Live Workout with Kallee – occasional livestreamed classes from wherever we are. Come move with me—sweat optional, sarcasm guaranteed.
- Exclusive Oklahoma Jake Print – twice a year, Crustys get a handpicked photo drop from Jake’s collection. Printed, mailed, and worthy of your wall or your glove box.
- Plus more coming your way – giveaways, beta-only gear tests, and “so-you’ve-never-mountain-biked-but-you’re-ready-to-YOLO” meetups. Hikes, rides, whatever makes sense along the way.
The Wilds Project.
