Peter Demos Founder/Owner


Hey, I’m Peter Demos, and Liv Outside is my way of helping people get out there and truly enjoy the outdoors. I’ve spent years riding, skiing, fat biking, and just exploring, and I wanted to create a place that makes gear, knowledge, and adventure accessible to everyone, whether you’re just starting out or have been chasing trails for decades.
