We Are

We know, from experience ourselves, that veterans can often have difficult times readjusting to civilian life after long deployments or upon exiting military service. Mind Over Land - a 501c3 non-profit -seeks to work with veterans to get them outside to help with readjustment and enjoy the camaraderie of fellow veterans in the great outdoors through vehicle-based adventure.

TRIPS FOR ALL PHASES OF LIFE

Whether you are a service member who is just returning from a deployment, one who went on one years ago or never went on one but honorably served; we have just the adventure for you. Our trips are designed with Veterans experiences in mind, knowing that we each have seen a lot and been a part of a lot. The trips are meant to get you outside, enjoying nature on vehicle based adventures during the day and sitting around the campfire in the evening swapping stories of our service. On each one, you will feel a connected experience that you will remember and talk about for years to come.

HEAR FROM PAST VETRANS

"The adventure, the wonderful scenery and most of all the camaraderie. To share all this together as a band of brotherhood."

ON THE ROAD AGAIN

Out here, the mission goes beyond the trail.

This past trip, our group of Veterans put the @treadlightlyteam principles into action at Big Cherry Reservoir. What started as a weekend of connection and time outdoors turned into something more meaningful as we came across areas that needed attention. Instead of passing by, we stepped in.

Together, we removed nearly 200 pounds of trash from the area. That is what it means to leave a place better than we found it, or in this case, better than when we stumbled upon it.

We are incredibly grateful to the @overlandexpofoundation for their support through their grant, which allows us to continue this work with Veterans. Their investment makes a direct impact, not only in building community, but in preserving the spaces we all value.

A sincere thank you as well to the Town of @visitbigstonegap_va for allowing us to stay. We appreciated the opportunity and were proud to give back by helping take care of such a beautiful area.

This is what Mind Over Land is about. Service, stewardship, and taking care of each other and the land.

This is what it is all about.

The Kentucky Adventure Trail gave us everything we could have asked for and more. Great trails, even better people, and moments that remind you why getting outside matters. From long days on the trail to nights around the fire, this trip was full of connection, laughter, and the kind of memories that stay with you.

The company was second to none. Veterans coming together, building bonds, sharing stories, and supporting one another in a way that only this community can.

And the food did not disappoint. There is just something different about a meal cooked at camp after a full day on the trail. It brings everyone together in a way that is hard to explain unless you have been there.

More than anything, we are thankful for the opportunity to give back to the veterans who have given so much for all of us. Serving those who have served is at the heart of everything we do.

We are incredibly grateful for the support that makes trips like this possible. Thank you to the @overlandexpofoundation for believing in our mission and helping us continue to get veterans outside, connected, and moving forward.

More trips. More impact. More lives changed.

If you have been thinking about joining us, this is your sign.
