Can’t seem to get enough of the outdoors?  Neither can we.  The KRAVE is dedicated to life lived as it’s meant to be: wild and untamed.  Join KRAVE Nation as we experience and discuss the best (and worst) of the outdoors through the eyes and mouths of three different sportsmen hailing originally from three different parts of the country (USA).  Bit by the bug of exploration and pursuit of wild fish and game, we continue to grow as sportsmen through trials and tribulations.  Matching wits with nature is the greatest chess game on earth and we live for the next move…
