Modern Day Outdoorsman

I’m a native Kansan trying to survive city life without giving up my love for the outdoors. Expect projects, travel, fishing, hunting, and plenty of shenanigans – planned and unplanned. If you enjoy nature, nonsense, and a good laugh, you’re in the right place.

It started with questions like, “I wonder if anyone’s ever wrapped a present this way?” At one point I thought about putting it out of its misery… but it’s wrapped! My hat is off to all the dads wrapping presents this holiday season! 🎄🎁

I got a new addition to the wall yesterday! My big bull Red Drum from my bachelor party trip with my dad and brother. Fun memory to look back to whenever I see it.

Hey, everyone! Quick message to send out to those of you who contributed towards the Bo Angles/MDO Hurricane relief fund - thanks to your help, we raised $545 to donate to hurricane relief efforts by the Salvation army.

Thank you for all you do - it may not be thousands of dollars from a larger company, but it's a little bit that will be helping in a positive way. Hope you all have a great holiday season!

Well, it's a bit disappointing for me, I was really looking forward to getting back into this stock project this February to huddle indoors during the winter. But, I ordered my chisels (about $250 worth) through Beavercraft in late December of 2023... and a month+ later, they are still to leave Ukraine.

Among the plethora of actual problems going on in the world because of the war in Ukraine, I never thought I would be whining about my woodworking project while they've got a war going on in their country -- but! Excited to finally get started whenever they get here...

Post for our friends who mainly speak Chinese (I've added subtitles!):

嘿,所有以中文为主要语言的人 - 我在我们的台湾钓鱼视频中添加了中文字幕! 如果你想给它一块手表,看看你是否错过了什么。

(我希望它有点准确!)

Soppy Father's Day post, which isn't normally my style! BUT! Being Outdoors people, many of us owe the knowledge or the interest in the outdoors to our fathers. And that is certainly no different with me. I begrudgingly woke up to many an early morning shoulder nudge to head out hunting and fishing throughout my young life. And although the feelings may have been mixed in those moments, I look back on what I can remember about my childhood and can recall every. single. one. of those times outdoors with my dad.

So! This Fathers day goes out to all the 'shoulder nudgers,' the 'grab the rod!'ers' and the 'don't point that at me!'rs' out there. We may not have gone with you on every trip to the grocery store, but we certainly remember every one of those moments you pulled us into the great outdoors.

And to those of you with little ones on the way -- never doubt the impact you are having with your young outdoors people. Whether you're landing a trophy fish, seeing a buck emerge from the tree line, or just spending quality time out in the woods... One day your son or daughter may be writing this same post about you! Start small, and make big impacts in their lives.
