About Me

Welcome to The Wild Guides! I’m Minds, aka Lukas, and I’m thrilled to be your guide in the great outdoors. Whether you’re an experienced adventurer or just getting started, I’ll give you honest, practical advice and insights to make your time in the wild more enjoyable and accessible.

My Journey in the Wild

I’ve spent years camping, backpacking and hiking and have a deep love and respect for nature. The wilderness has been my playground, where I can connect with the natural world, challenge myself and find peace away from the chaos of everyday life. Over time I’ve developed my skills and gained some valuable experience I want to share with you. And still, I consider myself a newbie, and probably always will do, as there will always be people that are much more experienced in all of it.

Therefore, I want to share my side of things from a perspective that one can not know it all.

Testing Gear the Human Way

I love trying out new camping, hiking and hunting gear. But I’m not a tech reviewer—I’m a user. Instead of getting bogged down in technical mumbo jumbo or specs I focus on how the gear performs in real life. I believe in providing simple, easy to understand reviews that talk to the average outdoor enthusiast. I test gear to see if it works, why it’s useful and where it falls short all in plain language.

A New Chapter: Hunting and Fishing

I’m a fairly experienced camper and hiker but a relative newbie to hunting and fishing. This is a new chapter in my outdoor journey and I’m happy to share it with you. I’m a beginner at hunting and fishing and I bring a fresh perspective. My experiences are unfiltered and honest, especially if you’re a beginner too.

Why Trust The Wild Guides?

I’m all about trust here at The Wild Guides. I’ll give you content that’s not only informative but also reliable and honest. My guides and reviews are based on my own experiences or analysis so the advice I give is practical and real. I’m not here to peddle the latest hype or push products that don’t deliver—I’m here to help you make good decisions for your time in the wild. Perhaps some gear might not be one you saw on other blogs or videos, but if I talk about it, it’s probably because I had a good (or bad) time using it.
