If you have a farm or ranch — or even just keep cute fluffy animals as a hobby — visitors and locals to Montana would love to tour your place.

Tourists are hungry for authentic, local experiences. You're already living one.

Whether you're large or small, if you can share a piece of Montana life, you can be a guide on Knowcals.

Come chat with us — we'd love to hear what you're doing.

We just launched Knowcals and needed to get the word out. John googled "how to social media."

Apparently we need an Instagram boyfriend.

Did we ?

Knowcals runs on servers, APIs, and cloud infrastructure. Some of the future adventures that we're most excited about run on hard work, horsepower, and zero screens.

Hutterite colony tours. Amish horse-drawn carriage rides. Honestly — doesn't that sound fun?

Now we just have to convince them to get on the internet long enough to list it.

Most startups are built in coffee shops. We built ours in Montana's wild paces — the same places we're trying to help you find.

We're a Montana adventure platform, but we're also just people who camp — and good tips don't stop at the state line.

If you're passing through the Badlands, we've got a great campground recommendation.

Buffalo Gap National Grasslands sits just a few miles from Wall Drug (with their 5¢ coffee) and the Badlands National Park entrance — and it's completely free, dispersed camping on wide open grassland.

10/10, would bury my p**p here again.

If you know our dog employee May, you know she's sweet, loves people, and is a great judge of character.

But every once in a while, she gives us a look that reminds us that, well, let's just say she has a very specific set of skills when it comes to protecting her people.

So if you're a guide on Knowcals, just know: May is watching. Please treat our adventurers well.

Here's how Knowcals works:

You bring
— Your idea for an adventure
— Licensing or permits (if required)
— Basic liability insurance ($200-$1,000/yr)
— Ideas to promote your adventure
— All the questions you have!

We provide
— More visibility and more customers!
— A rock solid payment and escrow flow
— User trust issues (disputes, refunds, fraud)
— An easy backend to help you manage all this
— Robust availability and scheduling tools
— Open ears to listen to your feedback

Knowcals is a robust application engineered and built right here in Great Falls, Montana. While we apply Silicon Valley engineering best practices, we don't run our business like they do. We're authentic and actually care about you.

We are Montanans, building for Montanans — and for the visitors who come here to experience what we get to call home.

If you email or call, a very serious human will respond (pics below).

If you think you have an idea for an adventure but aren't sure, let us help!

Great Falls is one the western art capitals of the world!

(Jackson Hole, WY and Calgary, AB are a couple others but don't tell them we said that.)

For more than 50 years, The C.M. Russell Museum and Western Art Week have been hosting an amazing event each spring (and a little extra peppered throughout the year).

Art lovers from all over the world come to Great Falls to meet artists, buy western art, and have a good ole' time!

Elisha has been fortunate to be one of the official photographers for the festivities for years now and this is one of our favorite shoots of the year.

If you've never been to Western Art Week, come, see all the cool art, visit the Museum, book an adventure from a local on Knowcals, and learn a thing or two about Montana's heritage.

This is a wild place and you'll have a rockin' good time!

This is May, another Knowcals co-founder!

She is also the official shop dog of Bison + beargrass.

May was a rescue from a shelter because someone wasn't nice to her. But this cute, kind, spoiled dog has a great life now.

She goes on most of our adventures (when she's legally allowed). And she's always down to jump in the water on a hot day.

If you find a bug in our app somewhere, it's because May tries to help code a little when John naps. But May's paws just mash keys... she is a terrible software engineer.

We love May, and most animals in general. As we continue to grow our platform, you better believe we'll be sure to add a "dog-friendly" toggle when searching for fun, authentic, Montana adventures to do!

In Montana, we love our guns.

In fact, as of 2025, Montana has the highest percentage of reported gun ownership: 66%. 1 in 3 adults owns a gun here. We love that stat.

Wyoming, Alaska, Idaho, and West Virginia, round out the top five, if you were interested.

Knowcals is an adventure marketplace where real Montanans guide adventures, and yes, that includes all things fi****ms.

Big tech is afraid to talk about guns. We're not.

So if you teach concealed-carry courses, marksmanship, archery 101, 3-Gun, or even host varmit shoots or have a private range, check us out and let's talk about getting your adventures on our platform.
