When you spend enough time out there, your relationship with nature changes. It’s not just a backdrop - it’s something you depend on, adapt to, and learn to respect. comes from that same reality.

From years of being out there, creating gear that supports the experience,while never losing sight of what needs to be protected.

That’s something we naturally connect with.
That’s something that feels close to us. 🥰

Some partnerships just feel right, and ours with is one of them.

For decades, they’ve been helping adventurers tackle the outdoors smarter, with gear and know-how that actually works. From water filters that turn murky streams into safe drinking water, to bug protection that lets you enjoy the sunset without itching, and first aid solutions that make you feel ready for anything, they think of the little things that make a big difference. ☺️

If you’re new to the hiking world, you might think the water strategy is simple: pack two massive bottles and hit the trail. But as the miles and elevation tick up, you quickly learn a heavy lesson - water is the heaviest thing in your pack (1 L = 2.2 lbs). That’s where Sawyer comes in. It’s not just about "buying a filter"; it’s about changing the way you hike.

🎒 Heading to HIGHLANDER Big Bear Lake? We’ve got you fully covered with water stations at all checkpoints. 💧 But let’s be real - having a Sawyer in your pack is never a bad idea anyway. It gives you total peace of mind and the freedom to filter fresh water anywhere along the trail between our stations. Plus, it's a must-have for all your future independent backcountry adventures.

Now that you know the secret to a lighter pack and a constant water supply, it’s time to hit the trail.

We’ll see you at the HIGHLANDER Big Bear Lake adventure!

Sustainability isn’t always about doing more.
Sometimes, it’s about replacing less.

And that starts with knowing how to properly take care of what you already own.
Today’s topic: washing waterproof gear.

Good gear is made to last, you just need to care for it the right way.

knows that.

Let’s be real… without nature, there is no HIGHLANDER. 🌿

Mountains, forests, fresh air, trails… everything we come to the trail for is already out there. And today, on World Environment Day, it’s the perfect reminder that we lose the whole point if we don't take care of it.

That’s why we created a new section on our website 👉 HIGHLANDER GIVING BACK 💚

It’s a behind-the-scenes look at how we protect what we love. No empty words - just real action: ZERO WASTE events, partners who are truly making a difference, and small habits all of us can take with us on the trail.

If HIGHLANDER is calling you, this is the part that gives the whole experience a deeper meaning.

June is Open Mountain Month, a thoughtful initiative by our friends at Helly Hansen that reminds us of a simple truth: the mountains belong to everyone.

This philosophy is at the very core of HIGHLANDER. The trail is always better when it is shared - it is a space to unplug, connect, and appreciate the outdoors together.

We are heading to Big Bear Lake at the end of June, and it is the perfect opportunity to bring this idea to life. Whether you are a seasoned hiker or stepping onto the trail for the first time, you are welcome to be part of the journey.

We had the chance to connect with Travis Avery from Sawyer and it turns out the HIGHLANDER story caught his attention. So this year, he’s coming to see it for himself at HIGHLANDER Big Bear Lake. 🌲💧

Travis lives and breathes the outdoors, and at Sawyer he helps make sure every water filter is 100% reliable - whether you’re deep in the backcountry or relying on clean water in places where it’s hard to find.

While Travis will be joining us at the event, Sean Kappauf from One ATTA Time will be the one taking the stage and sharing the story behind the global clean water mission.

If you’re coming to Big Bear, you’ll get the chance to meet them both. 💪

There’s nothing quite like the feeling of finding a home away from home, especially when you’re out on the trail. 🏔️✨

This beautiful spot will be our gathering place throughout the event, from registration to the finisher party, where we all celebrate together after the adventure. 🏡💛

And because we wanted you to enjoy the experience without stressing about logistics, you can also book your stay here, including the night before and the night after the hike. Cozy bed included. ✨

Our lovely hosts, Frank and Sydney, are opening their doors to welcome the HIGHLANDER family, and we honestly can’t wait to hang out there with all of you. 🎒🌾
