National Great Outdoors Month: Easy ways to get outside in June

ATLANTA, Ga. (ATL Live) - June is National Great Outdoors Month, a national push to celebrate and explore the country’s parks, natural spaces, and public lands—while also spotlighting the importance of making the outdoors more accessible for everyone. That can be as simple as taking a short hike, biking a trail, paddling a calm river, or planning an overnight campout.

Wade Ivy and Kenya Ivy, Owners and and Cofounders of Wilderness Wonderland Adventures, stopped by ATL Live to talk with host Savannah Louie about lowering the barriers that keep people from trying outdoor activities in the first place. They shared practical ways beginners can get started without overbuying gear, along with quick basics on water filtration, safe fire starting, and simple trail food that can make a first outing feel more comfortable and safer.
