Guides

Trails hiked, briskets smoked, rolls proofed. Everything done first, then written down properly.

Long-form guides to things done first-hand — a trail walked end to end, a brisket run for twelve hours, cinnamon rolls worth waking up for. Each one is done first and written afterward, with the checklists and timelines that actually get used.

Where it stands

Three guides in progress. The Trans-Catalina is first out.

A Given This Day project

One of three or four things this studio ships each year. We make a small number of things on purpose — games worth gathering around, guides to trails we've walked, and tools for a life spent outdoors and at the table.
