Like most families each week is filled with the hustle and bustle of family life. We found ourselves indoors a lot and we decided that we wanted to enjoy the outdoors together so we started to bike or walk together as a family. It’s been one of the best decisions for us and we wanted you to have that same experience with your loved ones and that’s why we started North Star Fox!
Throughout history, we were connected to nature for our well-being and survival. With modern advances and evolving technology, studies have shown that people today are spending more time indoors, are sedentary and are plagued with higher stress levels and chronic illnesses. With the pandemic, more than ever we were homebodies.
When we stay indoors, we’re missing out on the benefits of being close to nature, getting sunlight and fresh air. Going outdoors is something that anyone can do but not enough of us are doing. Experiencing nature has powerful and long-lasting healing effects that can strengthen our mind, revitalize our body, and restore our spirit.
People often say the number one obstacle to going outside is facing uncomfortable weather that’s too hot, too cold or rainy. While we can’t control the weather, we can control the way we experience the outdoors. Nature should be enjoyed, not tolerated. Be prepared with the right gear that will allow you to enjoy your outdoor experience on your own terms. We’ll be here every step of the way, as you continue to discover or rediscover the great outdoors.
