Mark in the moutains

The mountains don’t care about your sexuality, gender, race, income, background, or fitness level. And neither do we. In fact, we think the outdoors has an amazing equalising power.


Monica and Mark created Eat Sleep Wild as a platform to share our love of the natural world. We’re very privileged to be able to live where we do and live our lives the way we want to. It was a journey getting to this point and we know how that kind of journey is longer for some than for others. At the end of the day, whatever “mountain” you have to climb, we want to play a small role in helping you get there.

Inclusion and diversity are central to our core values. We value…

✓ Inclusivity
✓ Leave no trace principles
✓ Solitude
✓ Science
