Why “Nomad”?
We first dreamt up Nomad Backcountry Adventures after being inspired by a chance meeting with Appalachian Trail legend, NimbleWill Nomad, on the Pinhoti Trail in 2000. NimbleWill had been backpacking for 195 days, from the northern reaches of Canada’s Cap Gaspe towards the Florida Keys, a total of 4,400 miles. A mystical man in his sixties laden with a white beard and an unburdened grace in his step, NimbleWill found that once he began “walking,” he could not stop; the people he met, landscape he saw, challenges he faced, and lessons he learned compelled him onward. His journey was one of body, mind and spirit.
After meeting NimbleWill during our 110-mile Pinhoti trip we launched a vision of affordable, accessible, and creative wilderness adventure. NimbleWill Nomad symbolized the inspiration, perseverance, commitment, and possibility that have supported our creation of Nomad Backcountry Adventures and the values we strive to inspire through it.
