Wilder guiding a traveler

Meet Wilder

Wilder knows the way — built by Chip, trained on every adventure.

Built By Chip

Chip built Wilder because he wanted eco-travelers who couldn't come along on every adventure to still have a knowledgeable trail companion in their pocket. Every trail, every gear recommendation, and every Leave No Trace principle Wilder shares comes directly from Val and Chip's real experiences.

The Origin of Wilder

Chip building Wilder

In his workshop, surrounded by blueprints and soldering iron in hand, Chip began assembling the frame. He wanted something approachable but built-tough for the trail. Something is being built...

Phase 2: Training

Training didn't happen in a lab. Chip brought Wilder outdoors, pouring over adventure journals and trail maps. Wilder's core isn't just data; it's learning every trail we've ever walked, adopting our sustainable travel principles.
