THERE ISN'T MUCH BETTER FOR YOU THAN BEING OUTDOORS.
We're all about finding ways to get out – from hunting and fishing to gardening and garage projects. We take pictures and share the experiences along the way. And while we love it, we're not experts. We do it for the feeling at the end of the day, the hard work, the lessons learned and the joy of being able to take care of ourselves and our friends and family.
IN THE END, THIS BLOG IS ABOUT FEELING ALIVE.
In fall 2023, a week after my first hunt, Dylan came home from work to my announcement: "I want to start a website about hunting and home! Do you think it's a good idea?" He said, "Yeah, add fishing and I'm in."
That was an easy deal to make. Since then we've been working on building a brand that celebrates the outdoor experiences that make so many of us feel alive, and everything that makes those endeavors special. All things indoor comforts and outdoor adventure.
WE'RE AN INTERIOR DESIGNER AND WILDLAND FIREFIGHTER COUPLE WHO LOVE THE WILD.
We both grew up in rural areas of Arizona with families that believed in honest, hard work and a strong ethic for being able to take care of yourself and provide for your family.
It wasn't until 2022 that Dylan introduced me to hunting, and in 2023 I drew my first tag. It was a month-long elk hunt, and although I didn't fill the tag, I fell in love with hunting and it changed things for me. I couldn't stop thinking about it, learning about it and wanting to be in that world as often as possible.
It requires a lot of a person, mentally and physically and there are no shortcuts. It puts you out in the elements where you are not the dominant force and shows you a new level of appreciation for wildlife and the conservation of their habitat and species.
We figured why not add our experiences to this community to inspire other people's adventures and play a part in keeping this tradition alive and well for future generations.
