ABOUT BASECAMP

Practical adventure guides from working guides and instructors — for first trips and big ones.

OUR STORY

Cal Brooks’ first camping trip ended with a soaked sleeping bag and a long night in the car. He swore he’d help other beginners do better. Basecamp is the result: honest, safety-first guides for everyone who wants to get outside.

Our guides are written or reviewed by certified instructors.

Practiced the tent in my yard like you said. The real night went perfectly.

Calm lake, life jacket, paddle into the wind first. Best morning of my summer.
