Meet Trinity Wilkins
co-founder, Marine Corps Veteran, and Outdoor Leader
Raised in the rugged beauty of Lake Lure, North Carolina, Trinity Wilkins found his calling in discipline, grit, and service. Straight out of high school, he joined the United States Marine Corps, where he rose to the rank of Sergeant and served with honor both at home and abroad. After years of leading teams through high-stakes missions and harsh terrain, he returned home with a renewed mission: to help others rediscover strength, confidence, and joy in the outdoors.
Now co-founder of Bunk Wild Adventures, Trinity brings his military-honed leadership and deep love for Western North Carolina’s backcountry to every hike, climb, and campfire. His calm presence, tactical know-how, and commitment to safety and inclusion make him a trusted guide for all levels of adventurers.
From first-timers to seasoned explorers, Trinity believes nature has the power to heal, challenge, and unite us — and he’s here to walk beside you every step of the way.
Meet Jacob “Jake” Fry
co-founder, Outdoor Guide, and Steward of Wild Spaces
Born into adventure and raised on the trails of Camp Bud Schiele Boy Scout camp, Jacob Fry has spent nearly a decade helping others connect with the natural world.

With four years of solo guiding experience and a lifetime immersed in the world of outdoor leadership, he now partners with his best friend and fellow adventurer, Trinity Wilkins — a Marine Corps veteran — to launch a guiding service rooted in grit, camaraderie, and purpose.
