Ruck · Lift · Roam · SW Florida
Forged in the miles. Built for the far.
We're a fitness couple trading easy Sundays for loaded packs and long horizons — chasing weekend missions and the occasional epic trip, and documenting every mile.
The Mission
Forged & Far started the way most good things do — with weight on the shoulders and good people moving forward together. We're Tim & Maryanna, a couple who'd rather earn the view than scroll past it.
During the week we lift, ruck, and grind through HIIT. On the weekends we point the truck at something worth the sweat — a trail, a spring, a state we've never crossed off the list. The big trips get planned around the same rule: if it's hard, it's probably worth it.
This is where we share the routes, the training that makes them possible, and the gear that survives them. No filters on the effort.
What We Do
Everything we make lives in one of these lanes. Follow for whichever one pulls you in — most people stay for all four.
Short, repeatable adventures you can pull off on two days off. Trails, springs, and overland routes within striking distance.
The big ones. Multi-day treks and bucket-list expeditions, planned and documented start to finish.
Rucking, lifting, and HIIT built to make the adventures possible. The work behind the highlight reel.
The packs, boots, and kit that actually earn their place. Field-tested, honestly reviewed, nothing we don't carry ourselves.
