About Dena Haines

Hey, I’m Dena

Bryan and I love being outdoors – hiking, camping, and fishing. And after running our own travel and photography blogs since 2009, we decided to write about things we enjoy doing in our own backyard. We cover winter camping, hiking, campfire skills, and great gear.
