Arizona and other states are limiting, or completely taking away, outdoorsmen's rights to use a trail camera. It seems our governments have cameras everywhere, but we can't have one in the woods?? Maybe there's a just reason for this, and to help us find the answer we welcome in Garrett Heikes. An avid outdoorsman and film-maker, Garrett offers a unique perspective over this matter.

We're sitting back down with the new owners of one of Nebraska’s most iconic companies — the legendary Dehner Boot Company, established in 1875. Once crafting boots for the likes of General Patton, Ronald Reagan, and even Walt Disney, Dehner's name is stitched into American history. Now, it's being stitched into the future by a retired military husband-and-wife team who traded service uniforms for boot leather and business grit. They’ve taken on the challenge of reviving a time-honored brand while staying true to its custom-made craftsmanship and high standards — no shortcuts, no mass production, just real work with real meaning. This is Part 1 of a remarkable story about legacy, risk, and the search for the Good Life in Nebraska. It’s about more than boots — it’s about purpose, passion, and preserving something worth saving.
