At Tracks&Dales, we are dedicated to promoting the mental health benefits of outdoor activities. Growing up, I spent countless hours in nature, thanks to my families passion for hiking in all weather conditions. While I didn’t appreciate it at the time, those experiences have shaped my life profoundly.

A cherished part of our adventures were my two retrievers, Tracker and Dale. They brought joy and companionship, encouraging us to embrace the outdoors, no matter the conditions. Their influence is a constant reminder of my love for nature, which is reflected in the name Tracks&Dales.

Today, while my trusty red onesie has been replaced by practical outdoor gear, my love for the great outdoors remains unchanged—though I now have a big husky named Frank by my side!
