Just an upper middle aged guy from Nebraska hoping to show that anyone can enjoy the outdoors. I do gear reviews of Outdoor gear, Bushcraft gear and Survival kits. I also do camp cooking and camping videos. Join me in the outdoors and state parks of the midwest! Contact/Inquiries: [email protected]
