About

 I am an avid outdoorsman who enjoys everything from hiking to bushcraft to hunting, fishing, and camping. I enjoy my time in the woods with a tent as much as I enjoy the annual cabin trips my wife and I make. I'm also of the mindset that even an hour in the woods can refresh the mind more then a day sitting in a chair. I was doing that bushcraft thing a long time before it was called that here in the US, way before it was the cool thing to do, and it seems I'm still doing it while it's now become yesterdays news.

I am no expert on anything, so if it seems like I'm being arrogant or opinionated, I can assure you, I'm not being either. I can be direct at times, and my sense of humor can be dry and dark at times.

I'll like to share experience, skill, and just my adventures sometimes. Whether I'm successful or not, for me it's more about the journey.


Post here will probably be random. There are times I have scheduled trips planned, but more often I might suddenly decide to head off into he woods for a little hike and I might share that here.


I created this blog as an accompaniment to my You Tube channel. I'll post gear talk on the stuff I use and why. I'll post trip reports here. I'll post some DIY stuff and even maybe a few how to's. I've also added a link to eh actual forum associated with the channel. I also created it as I'm slowly becoming a little long in the tooth for social media. I figure I'm better off posting my content here on my own space these days.


Most of my gear is on the budget end of the spectrum, so most of the gear talk with be sort of focused on gear for the average person.
