When I was a kid, I always wanted a little brother.  I remember asking my parents for one throughout my childhood.  No matter how much I asked though, it just didn’t happen.  That was until one morning when I was 12 years old.  Just about to head out of the door to go to school, […]

The Disconnect: A Necessary Evil

Earlier this year, I decided that I wanted to start looking at smaller, more lightweight options, in terms of backcountry gear.  I feel like I say this to myself every time I set off for a new adventure.  As the saying goes, “ounces equal pounds and pounds equal pain.”  Right off of the bat, I […]

The next area I am going to cover on backcountry hunting is water and water filtration.  You cannot get through a backpack hunt without water, so this is not something to turn your nose up at. Why Water Filtration is Important When I was a kid, I remember longing to drink straight from a creek […]

“Never say never.”  We’ve all heard that a time or two.  I remember especially hearing this phrase as a kid.  Maybe it would come up during a rough football game on T.V.  Our team would be losing with very little time left and I would hear my Dad say, “never say never.”  Most times the […]

I feel like the only way for me to tell you why you need to consider hunting with a bow, is to tell you how I got hooked on it myself.  Let us begin! In the Beginning It wasn’t until around 15 years of age that the bow ended up snuggling its way into my […]

Food in the backcountry is one of those things that can both lift your spirit and your performance.  Having a nice hot meal at the end of a long day just plain makes me feel better.  When I might be feeling discouraged in the middle of the day, a cup of coffee just has a […]
