After more than six and a half years, 339 episodes, and countless miles traveled, this isn’t goodbye… it’s see you later.

In this special episode, Brandon Butler and Nathan “Shags” McLeod sit down to reflect on the journey of the Driftwood Outdoors Podcast—from the early days of clinking ice in whiskey glasses at the cabin to recording across the country and around the world. What started as a passion project grew into something far bigger than either of them imagined, opening doors, building lifelong friendships, and creating memories that will last forever.

They revisit the moments that mattered most—unforgettable trips, incredible guests, personal highs and lows, and the community that formed around the podcast. From health scares and loss to growth, success, and new beginnings, Driftwood has been there through it all.

But as life gets busier and priorities shift, the guys have made the decision to step back from the weekly grind. This episode dives into the why behind that choice, what’s next—including new adventures, films, and future projects—and how they plan to focus on quality over quantity moving forward.

Most importantly, this is a thank you—to every listener, supporter, guest, sponsor, and friend who made this journey possible. The podcast may be pausing… but the stories aren’t over. 

We’ll see you down the trail
