Hi there – We’re the Merys! A family of four living and adventuring in the wild and beautiful state of Alaska — Dad, Mom, two spirited girls, and a shared love for the great outdoors.
From snow-covered mountain slopes to salmon-filled rivers, and from northern lights skies to summer hikes under the midnight sun, we spend every season exploring everything Alaska has to offer — and occasionally wander beyond its borders for new adventures!
Our blog is where we share the stories of our family outdoor adventures, helpful tips for planning your own trips with kids, and honest gear reviews based on real-life use in rugged conditions. Whether you’re planning your first family hike, curious about camping in the winter, or looking for kid-tested outdoor gear, we’re here to help you get outside with confidence and joy.
Thanks for joining us on this journey — we hope to inspire your next adventure, no matter where you are!
