Island Drifter Adventures

Hi, I’m Chad Orde — I work a full-time job. I have a family I love. And like most people — I can't just move into the woods and disappear. But we can chase adventure one weekend at a time. We can learn new skills, teach our kids, and travel to wild places. This channel is for people who dream of the firelight, even if Monday morning comes early.

We film real wilderness experiences: bushcraft, primitive skills, camping, cooking, fishing, hunting, survival trips, family adventures, and life in the wild. We explore the forests, dunes, rivers, and Great Lakes of the Midwest — especially Lake Michigan — building skills, shelters, and memories that last. ↟

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. — Genesis 1:1
