I have some exciting news to share with you - I am building a web app! 🏔️
After months of development (and really years in the making), I'm putting the finishing touches on something I'm really excited about—the Rebuild to Roam Assessment and Trail Map, a comprehensive assessment and planning tool designed specifically for hikers and backpackers recovering from injury or illness. 📱✨
When I was struggling in my own "return to the wilderness" journey, there were times when I felt completely lost. I was piecing together advice from different sources, but nothing fit my situation. Solutions were either designed for high level athletes, people trying to lose weight, or very specific injuries/illnesses. There was no comprehensive solution that helped navigate both the movement and mindset challenges that go along with getting back to a sport I loved after being knocked out by complex, systemic injury and illness.
-> People would say, walking is really good for your health - but if I felt like I could barely walk - then this was hard to hear.
-> People would say just build up at a slow rate, but when that didn't work and build up was unpredictable, then what do I do??
I didn't have a clear, systematic approach to rebuild trust in my body 💪 or a way to map on how to progress forward.
I built this app to help fill that gap… it isn't perfect… yet.
But with your help, I think I can make this an invaluable resource for people who want to find a way back to their passion for outdoor exploration, hiking, and backpacking.
Here's what the Rebuild to Roam Assessment does:
Takes you through a comprehensive assessment to map exactly where you are in your return-to-wilderness journey, then provides a clear, personalized trail map 🧭 to get you from where you are to where you want to go—the roadmap I wish I'd had.
I'm looking for beta testers! 🎯
Since you're part of this community, I'd love to give you first access to test out the features and functionality. If you're interested in helping me make this the best possible tool for people like us, just reply to this email and let me know.
Over the next couple weeks, I'll be sharing some of the specific features I'm most excited about. First up: the backpacking training calculator that actually accounts for pack weight (finally!) 📊
Your feedback would mean the world to me as we fine-tune this tool together.
See you out there,
Jeff
