So, what’s the deal with the frog?
The frog is a very diverse creature, it can survive and even thrive in multiple climates. Contrary to popular belief, there are frogs that inhabit every habitable topography and environment on earth. Frogs are found along the cliffs of South American mountains, the subarctic regions of Siberia and Scandinavia, the entire region of north and south America, as well as Asia and Africa. This may be surprising considering the frog is, to many, a sensitive creature confined to the calm warmth of a small pond or stream in deciduous forests and tropical jungles.
We would like to apply this same change and reinforcement of image to the human and what we are capable. It's amazing what we can accomplish; there is no terrain or climate out of our reach that we can't find a way to flourish in. It boils down to mindset and some physical conditioning.
At HighlandFrog you will find the motivation and resources necessary to accomplish any type of wilderness adventure!

Toy is an outdoorsman through and through. The only thing he loves more than fresh mountain air is his family. He enjoys backpacking, fly-fishing, and coming up with ways to efficiently combine the two for explorations through the rugged mountains and waters of the west. Anytime he’s in the backcountry he has a fishing pole of some kind in his arsenal. Fly-fishing is his method of choice but he chases fish however they’ll be chased even through ice. When he's not fishing he's thinking about it and ways to refine technique. He has a complete disregard for conditions and will go out into whatever nature has to offer. Nonetheless, most of all he enjoys writing about his adventures and sharing his experience.
