The Great Outdoors!

The term outdoors means different things to different people. To me the outdoors is camping, hunting, fishing and spending time with the people that I enjoy! The purpose of this blog will be to share my experiences and to learn from others and their experiences. Let's Get Started!

 First things first. To do anything right starts with proper planning. Nothing ruins a trip in the outdoors quicker than poor planning. Ask yourself where are we going and what activities are we doing? From there make a detailed list. The list should start with transportation. Start with an inspection of your vehicle from the front bumper and stop at the back bumper. Truck problems are no fun. From there the list should include clothing and gear. Do a thorough check of all of your gear and clothing before packing it for the trip. Make a daily list of the things that you are going to do. Match the daily list to the first list so that you are sure you will be taking everything you need. You do not want to be the one that is stopping at the local hardware store in a small town to buy a can opener because you forgot yours at home.
