We record, edit, and post a few videos a month with the goal of stimulating the mind and getting people outdoors, living amongst the bugs and creepy-crawlers.
Regardless of where you are in the world, you can do something as small as running to the park for a quick cook out. Or, assuming you have a safe spot outback, (be sure to read your local open fire rules, by county, state, country), you can build yourself a campfire. For as little as a bundle of wood or even a 'campfire' log (which is basically a few holes drilled into a log about ~8" diameter), you can keep the bugs away while you enjoy the early evening.
Since that "first fire" we've found other things to do add, like roasted meats, marshmallows, chocolate bars, kabobs, etc. There's always room for improvement! Some have learned valuable lessons, but most of the time, we're just learning to relax. Like what you see? Give us a shout!
Let's work on you, and your family, being you (or a family)!
Goal number one, finding a safe, outdoor space to have family time. Two, reservce a spot in said space to build a campfire, a backyard bbq... Third, build a fire and make s'mores! Farily easy from the outside, looking in.
The *Ultimatum, simple, Seek Out Things That Increase Your Happiness
Now THE ULTIMATUM*, Get Outdoors! The point here is again trasparent, you have to 'do', 'share' and 'cultivate' things that make you happy. We choose a fireplace/firepit setting to share with others. All joking aside, the misison acts as inspiration, more encouragement than ultimatum...
However, we will share this idea month-by-month, through and through. Below, future speak, we want to continue to elevate those things with which make us happy, happy to share our talents, knowledge... the learning lessons. We feel some of you will find inspiration, others a sense of immediacy; 'now'. Meaning, why not gather the family, the neighbors, people that mean something to you for a bbq, a fire or a good old fashion smores sandwich around the campfire? What is stopping you?
Get Outdoors, Enjoy The Weekend. Enjoy What You Have!
Seek People, Things; Things That With Which Brings You Happiness
A heck of mission, right? Get outside and have some fun! The mission sounds a little too corporate for us. But it's a start. We started out small, small pit, dry woods (what we could gather up around the place), firewood, matches, some vaseline for the paper and there it is; living the mission statement.
Ideally, we want you to do the same (enter ultimatum). Get Outdoors!
Suggestion: Grab a friend, family members, heck the entire family and head outdoors! Do you have a favorite local camping spot, a National Parks Pavilion with grill? Whatever works, we found solice out back, and you should too. Spreading joy, outdoor living and a willingness to share what adds to our happiness. Enjoy the embedded content, what more could you ask for?

You need tools, right?
Might be a good time to share a few things to get started... heading out to the local sporting good store, camping gear shop or online bushcraft supplies stores? Plan ahead!
Relish Your Time OUTDOORS! We Just Include Firepits & Grills!
Seriously. Get Outdoors! What say you?
Perhaps we should start by adding additional gear "our favorite gear". Along with the items: tools, supplies and craft materials not listed. We will continue to provide content, look for updates on such stuff over on the Updates portion of the site/website. Head on over there, preview the content that is there. You'll find a number of posts, including a 'Letter From The Editor'. We've included a few notes on how this idea came to fruition and a brief explaination as to what, how and why this exists.
We've got vision right, mission down; eyes on the prize there champ/herione... The outdoors, the sun, a field, a beach; literally anywhere you can a space to gather, even if it's a simple campstove or backyard firepit. Nothing earth changing or transcending.
Additionally, those of you who do, who do get outside and enjoy, it's a great messsage! You can find something, anything, that might bring a tiny bit of happiness to your world.

Excuses, right?
New Fire sometime this month or next
Excuses, excuses and more excuses... I know we all have them from time to time. Let's try this weekend, let's assume it's only a day or two away. Get the supplies you need, scope out your campsite or backyard spot. Plan, learn about safety and purchase the supplies. Easy.
