Open Air Problems

Life is an adventure, and it’s better in the Open Air. 

Welcome to Open Air Problems. 
This channel is about the grit it takes to try new things and the reality of outdoor adventure. I document missions where every hurdle is just a problem waiting for a solution. Whether testing outdoor gear, embarking on adventure travel, or sharing hiking tips from 3,000+ miles of trail, I focus on the honest experience. Just the dirt and the truth of life outside. I’m a thru-hiker (Appalachian Trail 2024, Colorado Trail 2025), outdoorsman, and overall adventure seeker based in North Florida. 
What we do here:
🔥 Survival challenges on stupid-small budgets
🔨 Builds that help get me outdoors
💪 Missions designed to find the breaking point
⛰️ The Open Air: A community for those who believe the best views are earned.

Sometimes joined by my dog Leo, I’m here for the explorers who value mission-driven storytelling.
