LIVING THE DREAM
LIVING THE DREAM
The Outdoor Life signifies a culture of men and women whose souls are restless and ache for a glimpse of sunshine & fresh air, waiting and planning for that next adventure. I am an avid cyclist, kayaker, surfer, hiker, backpacker, camper, swimmer, equestrian, hunter, fisherman, and photographer. However, it's not about the activity but the adventures I experience during these activities. For me, The Outdoor Life is not something I do; it's something I live!
This website started as "My Life on Two Wheels," and as I progressed into different activities, I believe it is only fitting to give them the respect they deserve. With over 30 years of professional and recreational experience, I love being able to pass along information about great companies that fit into an outdoor lifestyle. I have hands-on experience with every product, service, and location I post here. Some companies send me products to test; others are products I buy that I feel can benefit my outdoor needs. However, it's not all about product or service reviews! You'll find information on different places to go, rides I have ridden, rivers I have floated, and my experiences at each. I'll show you how to get things done and on the cheap. You'll watch as I succeed and fail, laugh, and cry–but remember, it's about the adventure and the smile you come away with!
Thank you, Amanda, for putting up with my obsessed need to be free in the outdoors! You are the love of my life and will always be my 1st obsession!

In the simplest of terms: Boondocking has always been about camping, not living! But that does not mean that full-timers can’t Boondock. It’s more about how and where you camp.

Today we will show you a truly primal cooking technique - roasting the Whole Chicken Under a Bucket! This recipe was used long before modern cooking utensils were available, so it is really simple and yet incredibly delicious. Our juicy, tender chicken is just irresistible!

I snuck over the border to Little Rock, Arkansas, to spend the weekend. I didn't feel like grilling or cleaning up and found a place called Raduno Brick Oven & Barroom. This place is definitely on my list to visit again the next time I'm back. The food was fantastic, as well as the service!
