The call of the wild is timeless. The rustle of leaves, the vastness of the open sky, the thrill of exploration—these are experiences that connect us to something fundamental. But what if we could enhance that connection, making the wilderness more accessible, safer, and more engaging than ever before?
At Digital Adventures Outdoors R Us, this isn’t a hypothetical question; it’s our mission. And in our partnership with the pioneering research and commercialization firm DeReticular, we are turning that mission into a breathtaking reality. Together, we are building the future of outdoor adventure, a future where cutting-edge technology and the raw beauty of nature don’t just coexist but elevate each other.
The Connected Campsite: Your Adventure, Seamlessly Powered
Our commitment to providing an unparalleled wilderness experience begins with a foundational element: robust, reliable connectivity. Through our collaboration with DeReticular, every one of our wilderness campsites is equipped with a state-of-the-art Rural Mesh Network. This isn’t just about checking your email; it’s about creating a seamless, intelligent environment. This high-bandwidth WiFi campus is the invisible backbone that powers our enhanced safety features, enables autonomous trailside delivery and trash pickup, and enriches your journey with interactive geographical, botanical, and historical data embedded right into the trails you explore. For a low cost of just $10 per guest-day, we provide a level of connectivity and security previously unimaginable in such remote locations.
A Living Laboratory for a Safer, Smarter Outdoors
Our partnership with DeReticular, an AI-focused research and innovation platform, transforms our wilderness adventures into a living laboratory for the technologies that will shape the future of outdoor recreation and safety.[1] When you embark on an adventure with us, you’re not just a guest; you’re a participant in groundbreaking research.
The data generated from our operations provides DeReticular’s researchers with invaluable insights into AI-augmented group movement in rough terrain. This research is instrumental in developing systems that make hiking safer and more efficient for groups of all skill levels. Furthermore, we are at the forefront of developing AI-augmented wilderness evacuation systems, including off-road EVs and drones capable of performing life-saving extractions within the critical “magic 4-minute window.” Your adventure with us is helping to build a future where the wilderness is safer for everyone.
Fueling the Engine of Innovation
This synergy runs deeper still. Digital Adventures Outdoors R Us serves as a curated data repository for “Thunder,” DeReticular’s revolutionary automated Grant Funding Agent. Developed by DeReticular’s founding member, Josh Banks, Thunder is designed to submit up to 30 grant applications a week, 50 weeks a year, to fund the very research and commercialization projects that we help inspire. The data from our operations provides the real-world evidence and proof-of-concept that makes these grant applications compelling. With a projected 50 percent success rate, this collaboration is set to unlock a torrent of funding that will accelerate the development of the next generation of outdoor technology.
The Minds Behind the Magic: A Partnership of Visionaries
This venture is guided by a shared vision, championed by leaders like DeReticular’s founder, Michael Noel, also known as BizBuilder Mike. His expertise in steering innovative projects from research to commercialization is a driving force behind our collaboration. It is this blend of visionary leadership and technical expertise that allows us to dream big and, more importantly, to build what we dream.
Join Us on the Frontier
Our partnership with DeReticular is more than just a business arrangement; it’s a shared quest to redefine what’s possible. It’s about creating adventures that are not only thrilling but also meaningful. It’s about building a future where technology enhances our connection to the natural world and makes the outdoors more accessible and safer for all.
When you book an adventure with Digital Adventures Outdoors R Us, you’re not just getting a vacation. You’re stepping into the future of the wilderness. We invite you to join us on this exciting frontier.

Here are the strategic opportunities
Strategic Opportunities for DeReticular and Digital Adventures Outdoors R Us
1. Joint Research, Development, and Grant Funding:
- Data-Fueled Grant Applications: Digital Adventures Outdoors R Us (DAOs R Us) can serve as the primary data source for DeReticular’s automated grant funding agent, “Thunder.” By providing real-world data on group dynamics, network performance in remote areas, and the efficacy of AI-driven safety measures, DAOs R Us can significantly increase the success rate of Thunder’s grant submissions.
- Living Laboratory for Commercialization: The partnership creates a unique “living laboratory” for DeReticular’s technologies. Innovations like AI-augmented group movement and drone-based wilderness evacuation can be tested, refined, and showcased in a real-world setting, accelerating their path to commercialization.
- Co-Developed Intellectual Property: The two organizations can jointly develop and own the intellectual property for new technologies created through their collaboration. This could include software for managing autonomous vehicle logistics in rough terrain or AI-powered safety and emergency response systems.
2. New Market Creation and Co-Branded Offerings:
- Premium Tech-Enhanced Adventures: DAOs R Us can create and market a new tier of premium, co-branded “AI-Augmented Adventures.” These experiences, powered by DeReticular’s technology, would appeal to a tech-savvy clientele and command a higher price point.
- Corporate and Institutional Partnerships: The partnership can target corporate clients for team-building and leadership retreats, showcasing the innovative technologies and offering a unique blend of adventure and education. They could also partner with academic institutions and research organizations that require a connected, data-rich environment for their own studies.
- Expansion to New Geographies: Using the model they are developing, as seen with their project in Uganda, the two companies can expand to other remote locations worldwide, offering their unique blend of adventure and technology to a global market.[1]
3. Infrastructure and Data as a Service:
- Rural Network Expansion: DAOs R Us campsites can serve as anchor points for DeReticular’s rural mesh networks. This not only provides a robust backbone for the adventure experiences but also creates an opportunity to sell connectivity to surrounding communities, creating a new, shared revenue stream.
- Data Monetization: The vast amounts of data collected during DAOs R Us adventures—on everything from trail conditions and wildlife sightings to guest behavior and network usage—can be anonymized and packaged for sale to third parties, such as tourism boards, conservation groups, and outdoor gear companies.
