IGNITED BY NATURE

Raw, rugged, and real—just how I like it. I’m a guy who loves the outdoors, gear, and filling the freezer. I’m no purist—I still hit McDonald's now and then—but my passion for the wild runs deep.

I’m a 14-year military veteran who served in the Marines as a POG (Person Other than Grunt) and in the Air Force as a Maintenance Data Analyst. I left the military when forced ideological training, signing anti-racism documents because I’m white, and mandatory COVID shots changed the culture. It wasn’t the same military or country I signed up for.

Now, I bring that no-BS mindset to honest gear reviews and outdoor advice to help you become a confident backcountry adventurer. No fluff. No ego. Just experience from a life lived outdoors.
