I do not remember a time before my fascination with adventure. I do however remember a time before I was equipped to handle my adventurous nature. This lead me to hang on my grandfather’s every word about the old days. The next logical step was to become a Scout and later a United States Marine. When I came home I continued to adventure, read, and seek out some of the top names in the wilderness community to learn from. Then almost by accident I became a teacher of these skills myself. When my journey started there was only Grandpa and books, no YouTube or blogs to learn from. The way our community can connect nowadays amazes me, and the opportunities to teach and learn are better than ever. These writings will be filled with lessons learned in the past and with those learned from current experiments. I hope there is some value to the experienced and beginner alike. I am honored to be on this adventure with each and every one of you.
A unique perspective on outdoor skills from someone that listened to his grandpa and watched too much MacGyver.
