Lescohid: Where Wilderness Meets the Written Word
At Lescohid, we believe stories are as vital as survival skills, and the wild has wisdom to share with those who know how to listen—and to write. Founded by seasoned explorer Kaelric Quenvale, Lescohid is a gathering point for those who live for the trail, breathe in the frontier, and thrive in the untamed. We offer frontier findings, survival tactics, expert gear reviews, and backcountry navigation essentials from our home base at 3935 B Street, Shoreview, Minnesota 55126, United States. Open from 9 AM to 5 PM, we’re as dedicated to supporting exploration as we are to celebrating it through the power of language.
If you find yourself sketching prose beside a campfire or journaling while perched on a mountain ridge, we want to hear from you. Reach out at [email protected] or call us at +1 651-484-7082 to start your journey as a contributor.
1. Our Terrain: Purpose Rooted in the Outdoors
Lescohid is more than content—it’s a movement toward deeper connection with nature through thoughtful words. Whether you’re describing the texture of pine bark in a morning fog or mapping a forgotten canyon trail, your voice brings the wilderness alive for our readers. At Lescohid, we equip hikers, campers, adventurers, and outdoor visionaries with cutting-edge gear info, life-saving knowledge, and trail-tested perspectives—while grounding everything in the enduring poetry of nature itself.
We stand at the crossroads of observation and action. Being part of Lescohid means writing not just to instruct, but to inspire.
2. Why Write for Us: A Platform for the Bold and Curious
Every contributor to Lescohid understands that nature doesn’t whisper—it roars, laughs, and sometimes, falls eerily silent at night. Your role is to capture that. We’re looking for writers, survivalists, explorers, and nature-lovers who have stories, guides, gear tips, or reflections ready to be shared. If you’ve ever designed your own bushcraft tools, mapped your way out of a white-out, or tested gear miles from civilization, your insight could save or guide someone else.
Writing for Lescohid means joining a community bound by shared values—courage, clarity, firsthand experience, and respect for the wild. It also means contributing to one of the few platforms where knowledge earned through mud, fire, and frost finds its ideal audience.
3. What We’re Looking For
- Frontier Findings: Unique observations from expeditions, remote discoveries, and forgotten wild corners brought into focus through your own exploration.
- Wilderness Skills: Tutorials, commentary, and step-by-step articles covering foraging, bushcraft, fire-making, water filtration, and general survival know-how.
- Gear Reviews: Honesty is key. We want raw, field-tested assessments of backpacks, tools, clothing, shelters, and more—because in the wild, gear either holds up or it doesn’t.
- Trail Navigation: Tactical advice, GPS integrations, map-reading strategies, or first-person stories of remarkable routes with navigation lessons along the way.
- Personal Narratives: Reflective dispatches that dig deeper than facts. What did the canyon teach you? What hum did the forest leave in your mind for weeks?
4. Our Audience: Readers Who Trust the Trail
Our readers are practical in their gear lists, poetic in their campfire thoughts, and always itching for the next ridge or river crossing. They span seasoned mountaineers to weekend backpackers, solo kayak adventurers to families building their first fire. But they all share your pulse for rugged curiosity. They don’t browse—they seek. Whether they’re researching survival scenarios or reading long-form field reports, they come to Lescohid for clarity, depth, and truth.
As a contributor, your work will resonate with people who value detail, authenticity, and perspective grounded in the grit of experience—not secondhand speculation.
