For us and for them - Enjoy our wilderness with zero-waste behavior

We are here to exchange wisdom and enjoy our wilderness surroundings with zero-waste behaviour

Dennis Fiore and I, Alexander Kwapis, first crossed paths as kids at our Boy Scouts of America Order of the Arrow Ordeal campout, of course. Since then, we have embarked on a never-ending journey of solo and group wilderness escapades and learning, all the way to creating our own company.

In a world where we are increasingly aware of environmental challenges, a sustainable lifestyle has become the quest of many. Both as a team and individually, we believe that knowledge is the basis for positive change. However, when you are a self-learner (which we have been), you often get lost in a sea of tools and information, not knowing where to start. From our own experience, we know that training and knowledge are limited and it is easy to get bogged down in the rules of the outdoors and its preservation.

Some things might be hard but we will always enjoy our wilderness with zero-waste behavior.

From desert first aid, to Leave No Trace trainer, PADI certification and Okpik winter camp. We are ongoing students in the desert ourselves and have taken courses and credentials on a variety of topics. Wild Dirt is a project whose purpose is to impart wisdom about the ethics and essential skills required to develop in the natural environment based on the experience we have accumulated and continue to acquire over the years. Our goal is clear: to educate, inspire and provide people with the tools they need to connect with their environment in a meaningful and sustainable way through training, media and stories that inform and guide those seeking to better understand their connection to the natural milieu and reduce their footprint.

Beyond that, our commitment doesn't stop at education but transcends into creating the tools and equipment necessary to enjoy nature. We raise the flag for fashion and responsibility to go hand in hand, creating eco-friendly (and durable) products using sustainable materials and processes (and we obviously make it a point to pay fair wages to our workers and partner factories). We pride ourselves on offering durable products that minimise their environmental impact without sacrificing quality or performance!

At Wild Dirt, our goal is (and will always be) to continuously improve ourselves and uplift our community daily. For it, we require the partnership, financial support, and promotion of other outdoor non-profit organisations to achieve our objectives. However, as a company, we participate in One Percent for the Planet, in which we are committed to donating at least 1% of annual sales directly to environmental organisations. This is why the commitment of all the agents involved in enjoying our surroundings in a respectful way over the long term is essential. Join us?
