When Tommy Nash convinces his best friends, Nate and Adam, to trade an ordinary weekend for their first overnight camping adventure, The Crew quickly discovers that exploring the woods takes more than enthusiasm.

In Beyond The Map, Tommy, Nate, Adam, and Murphy discover that their adventures have only begun when an old hand-drawn map leads them toward unexplored territory. As familiar surroundings give way to new mysteries and unexpected challenges, The Crew must rely on their friendship, growing outdoor skills, and Rusty Pickett’s A Wild Guide to discover what lies beyond the familiar.

In Field Journal No. 1: Whitaker’s High Country, Rusty Pickett chronicles an autumn journey through remote mountain wilderness, where changing weather, forgotten trails, and the remains of an old homestead reveal lessons about survival, observation, and the people who came before him. Through his field notes, Rusty discovers that understanding the wilderness means more than knowing where to go. It means learning to read the land and recognizing the stories it holds.
-
In Getting Adjusted, Rusty Pickett ventures into Colorado's high country for a two-week journey through open meadows, aspen groves, and rugged mountain terrain. Along the way, changing weather, wildlife encounters, and unexpected obstacles challenge him to adapt, observe, and reconsider what he thinks he knows. By the time he returns, Rusty discovers that understanding a place isn't simply about finding your way through it, but learning to see what was there all along.
