What was the process like finding the outfits for this trip?
André: Simple and comfy is what I was going for. Vintage T's so I can add more wear and story to the garment.
Elijah: Pretty straight forward. Gorpcore and functionality. Arc'Teryx and Alo shorts and tank tops.
Trey: Just keep it simple was my mindset. Comfortability was the main focus so sweatpants, dri-fit T's and shorts was pretty much all I needed.

Elijah: A pair of climbing shoes, Solomon hiking boots from Beacons, and sandals.

What was the most essential item you packed?
André: A hoodie! It got a little chilly in the evening. Flashlight and toothbrush.
Elijah: Definitely my Arc'Teryx chalk bag which was a great and unexpected find at Beacons Closet.
Trey: Definitely my Crocs. They get so much unnecessary hate but I love them. Slipping them on after a long day of hiking..no feeling like it.

What was the highlight of this nature trip?
André: Just to get away from the city and enjoy nature. Jumping into the really cold water hole was my favorite! No one else wanted to jump in with me. I also loved checking out the small town and the antique store we went to.
Elijah: Just hanging out in the mountains with the boys and taking in nature.
Trey: Just connecting with nature and hanging with the homies.

André: The steak that was cooked on a skillet over open fire was top tier and the random cinnamon buns we got from the store for dessert.
Elijah: Steak and cinnamon buns!
Trey: Those steak dinners stole the show!
What would be the theme song for this adventure?
André: The Wolves (Act I and II) by Bon Iver
