Owner - Guide 

Luke Everidge is a wilderness guide who leads trips in remote environments. He approaches guiding with strong respect and admiration for the land, and a belief that time in wild places has a unique ability to impact people’s lives.

He guides trips like this because he knows the power and beauty of nature and enjoys sharing that experience with others. His role as a guide is to support the journey, tend to safety and logistics, and allow the environment itself to do the teaching.

Outside of this expedition, Luke works full-time running rites-of-passage trips for boys and men, using extended time in nature as a core part of that work.

McCall Delaney has been backpacking for 12 years across Oregon, Colorado, California, Texas, and Arizona.

He has led and organized men’s backpacking adventures to summit Mt. Whitney, the tallest peak in the lower 48, and complete the Rim-to-Rim-to-Rim in the Grand Canyon.

Outside of Men of the Backcountry, McCall helps men recover from intimacy disorders. He leads small 12-step style men’s groups and guides daily hikes. He facilitates the kind of conversations most men never make space for.

McCall believes too many men are isolated.

He believes the solution is simple: bring good men together, do something hard, remove distraction, and let the wilderness be the medicine.
