The TeamMeet the people in the field

Verified by humans.
Driven by data.

We don't use web-scrapers or bots. Every coordinate on our map has been physically audited by a trained Kairn Scout standing in the dirt. Meet the team mapping the quiet.

Midwest & Rocky Mountains

Josh founded Kairn after one too many sleepless nights at crowded campgrounds. When he isn't writing code, he's out in the dirt running baseline acoustic tests and ensuring the field data meets our strict accuracy standards.

Sarah Jenkins

Living full-time out of her modified Tacoma, Sarah specializes in mapping deep-woods national forest land. She has an obsession with finding isolated, high-clearance river-adjacent sites.

Marcus Thorne

A former wilderness guide, Marcus knows the Utah and Arizona backcountry like the back of his hand. He meticulously audits BLM land to find sites with perfect sky clarity and zero light pollution.

Jeff & Deb
Jeff & DebRV Scouts
Upper Midwest

Operating out of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, Jeff and Deb specialize in mapping off-grid isolation along the Great Lakes. Pushing their Class C rig deep into remote forestry tracts, they meticulously audit coastal sites for visual screening and acoustic baselines—proving that true wilderness solitude still exists near popular water features if you have the patience to measure it.
