Deliberately Lost Outdoors
Wes and Cylas are the voices behind Deliberately Lost Outdoors, a podcast dedicated to the grit and beauty of the remote outdoors. After growing up in Minnesota and discovering a passion for the mountains while hiking in Colorado, this duo has spent years adventuring and exploring the remote wilderness.
As military veterans with 30 years of combined service, they bring a unique perspective to the outdoors-breaking down the gear, the skills, and the mindset required for serious outdoor adventure. Whether you’re backpacking, snowshoeing, or planning your next off-road expedition, join them as they share their adventures and teach you the skills needed to get "deliberately lost outdoors".
