Alex Wilder (pen name). Desk job on weekdays, dirtbag on weekends. I write about the outdoorsโ but often go off trail.
Essays, stories, and field practices that help all of us become more attentive, capable, and connected through an outdoor life.
Storytelling, poetry, photography, conversation, and some hard-earned scars. All the Smythe projects.
My personal Substack for all outdoor writing for outdoorsmen, writers, and those looking to burn time.
