About Us

My name is Rachael and I am building a community for women to come together, to gain knowledge, and ultimately get out into the wild with confidence and the needed skills to safely enjoy the outdoors. As a woman I have been surrounded by outdoor men and was sometimes included but not fully. As a mother, it was expected that I ensure the man was able to get outdoors to hunt, fish and adventure. I always wanted to be fully immersed in these outdoor activities, not an occasional guest. I hadn’t yet realized that my value and worth meant I had an equal right to pursue these outdoor activities as well. I wanted to learn but was literally rejected when I asked men to teach me. I missed out on years of enjoying the things I wanted so badly. It wasn’t until my late 30’s that I met someone willing to help me get out and adventure on a large scale. I have heard similar stories from so many other women. I want to make a change; give women confidence by offering community, education and encouragement.

Mission/Vision

The mission of Powerful Outdoor Women is to build a community that empowers women with skills and confidence to get out, be safe, and be successful in the outdoors.

Powerful Outdoor Women is a mission of the heart, a passion to empower women with confidence to venture into the great outdoors and nature to be healthier in mind, body, and spirit. We hope to encourage, inspire, educate, and support countless women on their journey into the wild.

Value Worth Holding Onto
February 17, 2024

Friends walking through the street heading back from the market, hearts light, mood jovial, not a care in the world! Sipping on hot tea and espresso, talking about things with a perspective and goal of just heading back to the little cottage to change and head out to the hot springs.

Earlier sitting in the room deep in conversation on how moms don’t understand just how valuable they are and what events lead up to that mental state. Was it something they always thought, well no. Was it a spouse beating them down with words intentionally to dominate? That’s a thing, although not often the case in a healthy relationship, it’s important to address as well. Or is it that the moment they conceived, grew a child in their womb, gave birth, and began raising these gifts from God called children, the value started to slip….
