I’m Kristen — outdoor enthusiast, van lifer, mom, and founder of Bearfoot Theory. Since 2014, I’ve been helping people build confidence in the outdoors through honest, experience-based advice. I’ve lived on the road in some capacity for nearly a decade — first in three different Sprinter vans and now in a custom adventure truck camper with my partner, toddler, and two dogs.

In my videos, I share tips for hiking, camping, road tripping, and van life, along with gear reviews, destination guides, and behind-the-scenes peeks at our life on the move.

If you're craving more time outside but feel overwhelmed by where to start, you're in the right place. Subscribe for real talk, practical guidance, and inspiration to help you hit the trail, road, or wherever your adventure leads.
