The Wildling Shop is the official home for gear celebrating old school skills, wild parenting, grounding practices, and raising capable kids in the desert.
Founded by Samantha ? a homeschooling desert mama in Las Vegas, Nevada ? this shop represents the entire WildBravery and Red Rock Wildling community we've been building across YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and in-person gatherings in the Mojave Desert.
WHAT WE'RE ABOUT:
WildBravery is a movement rejecting bubble-wrapped childhood and returning to what matters: teaching kids real skills, staying grounded as parents, and building community around nature-based living.
We're building this through:
? WILDBRAVERY (YouTube & Instagram @wildbraverymama)
Our content hub sharing:
? Let Them Try Challenge ? teaching kids fire starting, knife skills, cooking over flames, bushcraft, and primitive skills
? Grounding practices for moms ? movement, food, supplements and breathwork.
? Desert homeschool life ? nature-based education, old fashioned games, seasonal living
? Real motherhood ? raising Elias (almost 7), Julian (3), and baby Juniper in the wild
? RED ROCK WILDLING (Our Las Vegas Community)
A donation-based outdoor education collective where families meet every week in the Las Vegas desert to learn:
? Bushcraft and survival skills
? Foraging native desert plants
? Traditional cooking and fire skills
? Primitive skills and tool use
? Nature connection and desert ecology
? Old school skills for modern families
We gather at Red Rock Canyon, Calico Basin, Blue Diamond, and throughout the Mojave to let kids be wild, teach real skills, and build community.
OUR PHILOSOPHY:
Kids are MORE capable than we think. They can start fires safely. Use knives with teaching. Cook real food. Identify plants. Build shelters. Learn traditional skills that matter.
Moms need to stay REGULATED, not perfect. That means grounding practices, movement, real food, getting outside daily, and letting go of control.
We believe in:
? Competence over compliance
? Wild play over screen time
? Old school skills for modern families
? Risk-aware, not risk-avoidant parenting
? Ferality encouraged
? Nature as teacher
? Community over isolation
? Regulated motherhood through grounding practices
WHAT WE SELL:
Our shirts aren't just merch ? they're identity. A way to rep your values and find your people.

WHO WE ARE:
I'm Samantha ? mama to three wild boys (Elias, Julian, and Juniper), married to Luis, living in the Las Vegas desert. I started Red Rock Wildling because I wanted my kids to know how to start fires, use knives, forage plants, and trust their instincts. I wanted them CAPABLE, not just safe.
What began as weekly gatherings with a handful of families has grown into a movement:
? 15-20 families gathering weekly in the desert
? A growing YouTube channel teaching Let Them Try challenges
? An Instagram community of thousands learning grounding practices
? A Facebook group of local families building real connection
? And now, this shop ? so you can wear your values
We're building something real here. Not perfect. Not polished. Just wild, grounded, and true.
Raising wild ones. Teaching real skills. Staying grounded through chaos. Building community in the desert.
Welcome to WildBravery and Red Rock Wildling
Let them try. ?
