Who we are
We are veterans, first responders, and men passionate about wilderness therapy and united by a shared mission to bring more men into the woods. Backcountry Alliance is focused on creating opportunities for camaraderie, healing, and personal growth by connecting men to the therapeutic power of nature. By pooling our resources and experiences, we aim to build a supportive community that encourages men to step outside, face new challenges, and reconnect with themselves and others in the wilderness.
Whether it’s through rugged backcountry adventures, serene fishing retreats, or accessible lodge experiences, we believe that time spent in the wild can restore strength, resilience, and a renewed sense of purpose.
