If you love moving through wild places under your own power, you’re in the right place. Found Outdoors is for people who hike, run, and explore trails with intention, curiosity, and care.
Who are we?
Found Outdoors is a Western Australian trail-based outdoor community focused on human-powered adventure, education, and environmental stewardship.
We’re lovers of the outdoors with a simple rule: nothing motorized. Our focus is on human-powered activities — hiking, running, cycling, scrambling, via ferrata, and more. If it happens on a trail, we’re in.
We’re passionate educators. We believe the best way to enjoy an activity is to avoid unnecessary mistakes, discomfort, or pain (yes, blisters are avoidable). A little knowledge goes a long way toward better adventures.
Community matters to us. Trail-based activities are almost always better when shared, and we’re committed to building an active, inclusive community where people can connect, learn, and grow together.
Finally, we believe we need more citizens and fewer consumers. While buying gear for the outdoors is inevitable, we believe in buying less, buying well, and caring more. We want our community to help protect wild places and make them better than we found them.
Our mission
Equipping, educating, and inspiring responsible, trail-based adventure.
Our mission is simple — but formidable:
To equip, educate, and inspire a new generation of trail-based adventurers who care deeply about the environment and are committed to leaving it better than they found it.
We’re starting here.
What’s this?
This is our blog. It’s where we’ll share:
- stories from trails around the world
- insights into hiking, running, and other trail-based activities
- the gear we use and trust
- trails still sitting high on our bucket list
- people we’re inspired by and the cool things they’re doing
- upcoming events, promotions, and competitions
- ways for you to become part of the Found Outdoors community
- your trips, experiences, and lessons learned in the outdoors
Our goal is to land in your inbox once every fortnight with something that inspires you, educates you, or helps you choose the right gear for your next adventure.
If that sounds like your kind of thing, subscribe and join a growing community of trail-based adventurers who believe that how we explore matters just as much as where we go.
