Bob McBride grew up like many young boys dream of growing up, as far north as you can go in the United States, deep in the Alaskan wilderness. With a father who loved the outdoors, Bob’s life revolved around hunting, winter trap lines, fishing, and exploring the Alaskan bush. As a boy, his family would take yearly winter trips north into their winter hunting camps. Most of his time there would be spent hanging around camp playing mountain man until he began hunting and trapping himself around the age of 9.
“School would let out, I’d drop the books, grab a pocket full of shells, and off I went… I was 10 years old and I could be 20 miles down the frozen river, it was like a highway for a little kid.”
As a young adult, Bob would join the Marines and end up in Houston, Texas. He recalls his time in Houston as an oddity in his life, it was such a change from his home now in the mountains of Tennessee and even more of a change from his formative years in Alaska.
Some of Bob’s favorite builders and craftspeople-
Jack DuPrey
Eric Kettenburg
Mike Brooks
Jack Brooks
Allen Martin
