Our story-sharing platform has just three simple guidelines: the adventure must be self-propelled, self-supported, and local. What does that mean?

  • Self-propelled: feet, pedals, paddles, SUPs, sails, parasails, etc.  No fossil-fueled transport except to get you to your starting point or safely home from your destination.
  • Self-supported means carrying food and gear yourself.  We encourage participants to be DIY for the Adventure and the Story-telling.
  • Local means anywhere in Kansas. 82,277 square miles. The Land of Ahhs. Ad Astra Per Aspera. Home on the Range and all that.

Stories can be as simple as the story you might tell your friends while sitting around a campfire. They can be told through poetry, prose, an audio-recording an essay, a blogpost, or a short story. They can be told visually through photography, videography, watercolor, charcoal, oil, collage, sculpture, whatever…. BUT the story-teller must participate in the adventure. Solo adventure or group adventure with family and friends (two legged or four legged) are equally encouraged. By submitting your story, you agree to our terms and conditions.  Top story submissions are recognized and awarded at the annual live event 38N Adventure Fest.
