Raising the Next Generation Outdoors
With Ashley Holm
There’s something pretty special about watching kids fall in love with the outdoors.
Maybe it starts with muddy boots in the backyard, their first fishing trip, tagging along to hunting camp, or asking a million questions while you’re trying to get gear packed before sunrise. However it starts, those little moments are often where a lifelong love for the outdoors begins.
And at Lady Outdoor Lifestyles, we’re all about it.
The outdoor lifestyle has never just been about the hunt, the catch, or the destination. It’s about the people beside us and the traditions we get to pass down. That’s one of the reasons DLM Leather caught our attention.
DLM Leather is a family-built brand creating outdoor-inspired clothing for little ones, with everything from ducks and freshwater fish to whitetails, turkeys and camo making their way onto their designs. Their story actually started when founder Shelby Martinez couldn’t find a kid-sized duck call lanyard for her daughter, so she made one herself. From there, one little outdoor project grew into an entire brand for families raising their own little adventurers.
And we think that’s pretty dang cool.
Because raising outdoor kids doesn’t always look picture perfect. Sometimes it’s dirty hands, snacks everywhere, missed naps and a toddler who has officially decided they’re done for the day. DLM’s soft bamboo sleepers and sets are made with those real-life days in mind: Comfortable enough for the ride home and outdoorsy enough to feel right at home at camp.
For us, brands like DLM Leather are another reminder that keeping the outdoor lifestyle going starts young. Bring them along. Let them get dirty. Let them ask questions. Let them catch the tiny fish and celebrate it like it’s a state record.
We’re not just raising kids who spend time outside.
We’re raising the next generation who will love it, protect it and hopefully pass it along someday, too.
