Our Purpose

Built by Veterans.
Open to All.

Brave Outdoors was founded to get veterans back outside — into the Eastern Sierra and Mojave country that surrounds Ridgecrest. We host trips that rebuild camaraderie, challenge the body, and quiet the mind.

Whether you’re a veteran looking for your next adventure or a civilian who values the same open country and shared effort, you have a place here.

Brotherhood & Sisterhood

Shared trails, shared fires, shared stories. We create space for veterans to reconnect with each other and the land.

Real Country

High peaks, open desert, alkali flats, and pine forests. This is the real Eastern Sierra and Mojave — not a curated resort experience.

What We Do

Adventures in the Wild

From desert washes to high Sierra camps, we cover the full range of outdoor pursuits that define this corner of California.

Camping

Multi-day base camps in the Eastern Sierra and Mojave. Fire rings, star-filled skies, and time to actually unplug.

OHV Trips

Off-highway vehicle runs through desert trails, washes, and remote routes. Skill levels from beginner to advanced.

Fishing

Alpine lakes, Owens Valley waters, and desert reservoirs. Guided days focused on the catch and the company.

Hiking

Local trails and classic Eastern Sierra routes. Day hikes and overnight backpacks with Mt. Whitney country nearby.

Sport Shooting

Range days and field practice in controlled, legal settings. Skill building and camaraderie behind the line.

Hunting

Seasonal hunts in accordance with California regulations. Preparation, ethics, and time in the field together.
