Get the 72-Hour Trail-Ready Checklist

One page. The gear, workouts and skills that actually matter in the first 72 hours — and nothing that doesn’t.

What’s in it

  • The 72-hour kit list. Water, food, shelter, light, comms — and what to buy first when the budget is real.
  • The fitness baseline. Three things you should be able to do before you trust a bug-out plan.
  • The navigation minimum. What to carry and what to practise so a dead phone isn’t an emergency.
  • The gaps most kits miss. The four things people forget every single time.

Who it’s from

I’m Adam — Navy veteran, 20+ years outdoors, based in Arkansas and field-testing in the Ouachitas. Adventure Wiser exists because most fitness sites ignore the outdoors and most prepping sites ignore your body. No fear-mongering. No influencer nonsense. If it doesn’t hold up on the trail, it doesn’t make the site.

Adventure Wiser tests gear in the field before it goes on the site. If it doesn’t hold up on the trail, it doesn’t make the cut.
