About OutwardLab
Founded by Eric James, OutwardLab is dedicated to helping you explore the outdoors, discover adventures, and be prepared for anything life throws your way.
Meet Eric James
I grew up in the mountains of Colorado, skiing, hiking, camping, and fishing from a young age. My passion for the outdoors led me to create OutwardLab, to help others enjoy the natural world as much as I do.
The outdoors is therapeutic — it calms the soul and renews the spirit. I’ve seen how nature helps people overcome stress, anxiety, and even depression.
From hiking trails to camping gear and prepper tips, I aim to provide actionable guides for adventurers and enthusiasts.
