Mudroom Backpacks Partnerships and Collaborations

by David Deioma March 24, 2024

Mudroom Backpacks has had the pleasure and opportunity to work with some outstanding partners in the areas of travel, running and fitness and personal development.  In the nine years that Mudroom has been in business, we have worked with some amazing people and groups around the country.  And those groups in turn work with diverse and interesting customers and clientele around the world. 

Sound mind, sound body and spirit and healthy relationships.  Our partners exhibit these foundational qualities in respect for oneself, respect for the environment and respect for others including wildlife.  Next Best Run can help develop runners into the best running version of themselves.  Outbound in Africa spreads a profound appreciation for the natural environment on the African Continent.  ATRA spreads the word of trail running connecting runners with events.  And Megan Sports RD fine tunes diets and healthy eating for athletes.

We would pass along a little more about these partners.

Outbound in Africa - HQ in Phoenix, AZ

A luxury tour operator with bases in Scotland, the USA and South Africa, Outbound in Africa creates bespoke itineraries throughout Africa, sending guests on luxury journeys through wild places.  We love sharing our passion for Africa and follow the travel trends closely to see what’s new and what’s trendsetting in the travel industry, keeping it current and bespoke for all our discerning travelers.

Through working with local guides and accommodations that take on social responsibilities, our mission is to offer authentic and socially responsible travel experiences without comprising on luxury.  Outbound in Africa has travelled to all the destinations we specialize in. Often spending quite a few weeks a year testing out the luxurious safari lodges to the rustic adventure camps, walking safaris to the Cape Winelands. This allows us to make sure the standard is kept to a high and we can guarantee to offer a little bit of Africa to suit each and every one of our intrepid travelers.
