About Us

Stronger Than Fire About Us

At Stronger Than Fire, we believe a meaningful life is built through curiosity, creativity, resilience, and adventure. We share practical resources and inspiring stories about camping, hiking, gardening, DIY projects, family travel, outdoor living, books, and creative pursuits to help you explore more, learn new skills, and create a life you love.

The name Stronger Than Fire has a deeper meaning. After losing our home to a fire in 2017, we started this blog to process our journey, share the unexpected beauty we found in rebuilding, and encourage others walking through difficult seasons. What began as a place of healing has grown into a celebration of the things that make life rich—time outdoors, making things with our hands, exploring new places, and finding joy in everyday adventures.

We're Chris, Bill, and Issa—a family who believe resilience isn't just about surviving hard things; it's about choosing to keep creating, exploring, and growing because of them. We're glad you're here.
