What is an outdoorsman?

The truth is that an outdoorsman and an outdoorswoman, if you will, are one and the same. They are people who enjoy the outdoors and everything that it has to offer. Those who hone the skills of hunting, fishing, living off the land and the art of survival in the wilderness are what separates the rest of the world from the true outdoorsman.

If you eat, breathe, sleep and s**t the outdoors, then you are in the right place. If your version of fishing is going to the supermarket and picking a salmon fillet out of the meat case, then you are not. If you prefer to fill your freezer and feed your family with 100% preservative and growth hormone free meat, then we have you covered. If you would freak out and not have the first clue on how you were going to feed your family if the grocery store shelves were wiped clean and they all shut down tomorrow, then you may or may not be on the right site as it would all depend on you and if you were willing to implement the knowledge you will find here.

Most of today’s true outdoorsman were born and bred that way, having the skills and knowledge passed down to them through generations. Other’s were born that way into a family that is not and managed to pave their own way by seeking the skills and knowledge they crave through outside resources. Then the pandemic hit and the uncertainty cast upon the world had people who never had the slightest interest when it came to hunting, fishing or survival looking to educate themselves in preparation for an apocalyptic situation.

Rewind

Mankind has had to rely on the goods and services that mother nature has provided for us since the beginning of  time. Our ancestors had to acclimate to their surroundings and rely on the knowledge and skills that were passed  down to them in order to survive. They couldn’t get an extended forecast on the news as a forewarning that a storm  was coming or what weather they were to expect. They didn’t have the luxury of having a multitude of grocery stores  that they could just drive to and have all the food they wanted at their fingertips. There was no faucet to turn on for a glass of fresh cold water. They didn’t have heat piped right into their house to where they could just turn up the thermostat when it got cold. They didn’t have a reliable means of preserving foods for long term storage such as  refrigerators or freezers and the canning techniques would often fail. Their homes were constructed from the  resources that surrounded them and chainsaws were nonexistent. In those days, you had no choice but to be an  “obsessed outdoorsman” or you would die.

Fast forward

Obviously, humanity has made massive strides since the beginning of time…which is a good thing. The technology and knowledge we have today has given us a superior advantage over our prey. Scent controlled camouflage clothing, different camouflage patterns for different environments and insulated clothing and boots have helped us stay undetected in the field longer. Portable ice fishing shanties, fish finders, fancy rods and reels, smooth casting fishing line and the plethora of different fishing baits on the market today have really made life much easier in the angler’s world. Fast compound bows with sights, crossbows, high powered rifles, high powered scopes, carbon arrows, fixed and mechanical broadheads as well as finely crafted ammo have ensured clean kills in the field. The outdoorsman of today has a massive arsenal of tools and resources compared to the outdoorsman of yesterday.
