Who is JPFreek? JPFreek Adventure Magazine was developed in early 2006 by a group of experienced Jeep and outdoor enthusiasts who wanted to share their passion for adventure as well as promote responsible, low impact use of the environment. JPFreek Adventure Magazine is the only adventure lifestyle magazine of its kind, whether digital or print, that is available on the market today.

Each issue of JPFreek Adventure Magazine is 100% earth-friendly with a near zero carbon footprint that’s fully-digital and the wave of the future. In addition, our principles include educating Jeep and adventure enthusiasts about responsible off-highway recreation, as well as sharing a percentage of our profits with non-profit organizations aligned with our mission.
