This was our 3rd year out in the winter for our campout/game drive. As per tradition we go out for a day and a half, sleep in a rough shelter and drive around looking for animals in the Bookcliffs. This year was a little different because we were scouting for shed spots and a little in the future because it is likely dad draws out this year. We stayed at Skinwalker Campsite again this year cause we have a nice spot set up and there are more trees in the area, we did plenty o

Over the last few months I have been able to go to a handful of games, a couple College Football games, an NBA game, an NHL game and a college basketball game as well. Had some good times at all of these and I thought it would be worth a post. BYU Football I usually have the chance to go to a couple BYU football games a year and I was able to do 2, a classic rivalry against Utah as well as an easy one against SMU. I only took one video of all of it because its fun to be there

Decided to go out and get some time out of the city one last time before it got too cold. We packed up and left late on Thursday night just in time to set up camp and get to bed around midnight, after a terrible night of sleep for the 3 of us we were eager to get up early. Emmy had a blast setting up despite being up late and face-planting out of her backpack seat. She had her little ewok suit that kept her warm all weekend and she had a blast enjoying the fresh air and sitt

This has been a wild year and it is crazy that it is already August. Because of the new baby, the new job, taking care of the house and the car accident back in the beginning of the year totaling my Explorer, I have had a very hard time getting out into nature like I usually do and I miss it. We finally just went out and had a fantastic little weekend out in the mountains. We tried a new spot up by Roosevelt called Whiterocks Canyon. There is a river that comes out of the hi

This was genuinely one of the coolest things I have done. Sure it wasn't easy and it didn't help that I was vastly underprepared and my...

This will be my longest post yet because there is so much to cover, none of which really fits into any other sections like food reviews or photography. This was simply an adventurous hunting trip to the Limpopo province in South Africa. I am going to breaks this down into sections rather than days. I am going to skip over most of the travel because it was long and grueling both there and back. Lots of hours in a plane and just as many in airports. We flew into Polokwane, the

It was that time of the year again, anyone that is tough or dumb enough heads out to the desert for a winter campout and wildlife drive or 2. It was a good time this year, we headed out early Saturday and had ample time to set up a real camp this time and the shelter was great. Between that., the fact that I was overpacked for sleep and the temperature being a bit warmer, I think we all kept warm through the night. We had a pretty good camp set up and spent a lot of time mo

For the 3rd year in a row we went out to Uinta Canyon for a campout on the Jensen side. It was a bit shorter this year and we only stayed for 2 nights over the weekend. Had some great time just hanging around the fire and chilling like usual. We spent far more time out fishing this time around. I went out 3 different times for a few hours each and caught quite a bit of trout and a couple pretty nice ones. I caught around 10 fish, a pile of smaller and beautiful brook trout, a

Seems like I have been making my way out to the bookcliffs an awful lot over the last few years. This was a last minute planned trip that the whole fam took for a weekend. We did some of what we always do, knocking branches off dead trees, walking in the sagebrush and constantly dusting ourselves off. We did find a really cool find while out looking for sheds, a winter kill 4 point buck. I also shot some tracer rounds out of my Glock and they were super fun. Saw an antelope
