Jeremy Puglisi returns for his seventh appearance on The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast—and it’s a powerful one. What began as a pop-up camper and a couple of sleep-deprived twins has become a movement, a media company, and a meaningful legacy. In this episode, Jeremy and host Ginny Yurich reflect on what it really means to invest in your children—not with money, but with time, presence, and outdoor adventures. Jeremy shares the long-term fruit of raising kids immersed in nature, adventure, and unpredictability—and how those early camping trips laid the foundation for his boys’ confidence and competence today.
They talk family road trips, leaving stable careers to follow a passion, the birth of Camp Griddlemore (a cooking show you’ll actually use), and the heart behind Jeremy’s latest book series for kids. This episode is an invitation to go all-in—not because it’s easy, but because it’s worth it. Camping isn’t just a weekend escape; it’s a parenting philosophy. And as Jeremy wisely says, “Investing is not always easy—but it’s very wise.”
