Why a Type3Life Trip

Life is Busy

Busy loving our families. Busy with kids’ activities. Busy with a full-time career.

We’re busy doing a million things, and as we hit our stride as adult men the stress and obligations only pile up.

Demands of “adulting” set men into a predictable pattern that can feel isolating and overwhelming. The first thing men tend to drop are the crucial relationships and support systems they need for their mental health and well-being.

There’s an unspoken pressure for men to be OK and finding change or asking for help can be daunting.

Nearly 60% of men experience at least one significant trauma in their lives, and 30.6% of men surveyed have suffered a period of depression at some point. The suicide rate among American men is 4x higher than women!

Men Have a Problem

This is where Type3Life comes in.

Our mission is to break the toxic cycle that men find themselves in.

The objective of Type3Life is to create an experiential adventure-based product for men seeking motivation, leadership skills, community, confidence, and a way to get past what’s holding them back.

Type3Life’s guided and facilitated adventure trips are designed to give men the opportunity to conquer their fears and barriers by undertaking exhilarating and tough backcountry adventures.

The curriculum is directly designed for men and the problems we face which are unique and seldom addressed. Many men feel isolated with their struggles and carry guilt surrounding those issues. There’s a real fear around seeking out and asking for support.

Our trips are designed to help men find community over everything else. A focus on community and close relationships has been proven to reduce stress, lead to happier, longer lives with fewer health problems.

The men you will meet on a Type3Life trip are your community. These trips are the starting point to building, growing, and strengthening your bond with other like-minded guys.

The Type3Community that comes out of one of our adventures will be an ongoing resource and support system for the rest of your life.

Live a Longer, Happier Life
