"It's just such a calming feeling, the peace and quiet away from crowds and people, not feeling anxious as usual."
"Honestly, when I'm in the jeep in the woods, I get to leave all the stress behind on the hard road. I know it'll be there when I come back, but it's nice to let go and enjoy being out there."
"I deal with PTSD and TBI, so being off the grid means everything to me. It allows me to disconnect and be one with nature. The peace of mind I get at the top of Daniel in Uwharrie National Forest keeps me centered."
"I'm a paramedic and my wife is an EMT. Things get chaotic a work. We go to the beach, the river, or just ride to have a quiet stress free time away."
"Being a first responder and finding balance between the job and life was touch and go for a while, but when I'm outdoors doing activities I love doing, I get to just let everything go. I don't have to sit with my thoughts on things that have happened at work. I can have fun and not worry about anything. The stress and anxiety just go away while I'm in my happy place!"
"Jeeping relaxes the soul and makes PTSD bearable."
"When I rode my dirt bike, everything else faded away. The only thing I thought about was the trail ahead. Now I spend more time in the Jeep than on the dirt bike. It is the same mentally but slower and more relaxing. Between, navigation, nature and picking lines through the rocks, the rest of the world melts away. Not just "the job", but also bills, politics, chores... everything. Off-roading is such a wonderful break."
"Being able to spend all of my time surrounded by nature is life changing. I feel so at peace."
"My husband fought me for years about getting a Jeep (and rightfully so with 3 car seats). When I was finally able to buy one, the first time I drove it naked, he understood. He said he could see the weight of 14 years in EMS come off my shoulders and saw me smile like he hadn't in many years. He bought me a sticker that says, "Emotional Support Vehicle" with a Star of Life and said it was the best investment he made because of the impact it has made on my mental health."
