We have to have a one week or more hunting camp almost every year to help fill the freezer and just to get away too. Our hunting camps have varied widely in size over the years depending on where we go and how many of our friends join us....

Many people think that riding quads and UTVs is just a good weather pastime, which is fine if you are a warm-blooded person. The rest of us like riding whenever we get the opportunity so we will keep riding as long as there the snow isn’t deep enough to...

Early spring and late fall are some of our favorite times of the year to go camping to truly get away from all but the most diehard outdoor enthusiast type of people. The latter doesn’t matter too much anyway because they won’t be camping near other people to begin...

Sometimes a quick escape is needed to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. Since it was Mother’s Day my wife said we should load up the kids and the dog and escape up the river valley for a while to enjoy nature and the views. I...

We are outdoor type people and we would rather vacation in the woods, on the river, or anywhere without many people, but we do visit small towns too. We would much rather have all of blood sucked out by voracious mosquitos all day than visit Disneyland or any other...

We wanted to get a UTV or side by side for several years so we finally pulled the trigger and bought a John Deere Gator 825i several years ago. We looked at and researched all the major brands of UTV’s out there and decided on the Gator as it...
