Step Outside. Live Fully.

It started with a retreat—one trip each year to Montana, where the land stretches wide, the air is clean, and the wilderness strips life down to what truly matters. What began as a way to reconnect with nature and challenge ourselves has grown into something more. The Vital Guide was born from that same spirit—an invitation to step outside, push beyond comfort, and live with purpose.

The Mission

We believe the wild has a way of reminding us who we are. It calls us to slow down, to move with intention, to find strength in simplicity. Through our retreats, stories, and curated content, The Vital Guide exists to inspire that journey—whether it's deep in the backcountry, along a familiar trail, or woven into the way you live every day.

Join the Journey

If you’ve ever felt the need to unplug, to challenge yourself, to trade the noise for open sky—you’re in the right place. The Vital Guide isn’t just about adventure—it’s about returning to something real. Step outside. Live deliberately. The wild is waiting.
