i am an avid outdoorsmen. i love going to places like Tennessee, Alabama, Michigan, and Illinois to challenge myself in new hiking and camping experiences. There have been numerous times where i took groups of friends along with me to show them what the outdoors has to offer. i travel north to Michigan to ride my snowmobile all across the upper peninsula during winter times, and my boat to many places to go fishing and appreciate the water. sports have surrounded my entire life. i grew up playing baseball, i wrestled and played football. as for hammocking, i take that with me to get a little more of a real feel of what the woods have to offer when backpacking.
