Wayward Stories

Welcome back to Wayward Stories!

This week we fire the Search & Rescue series back up and talk about a very important topic. Knowledge of how to effect self rescue can mean the difference between life and death. Just a little know-how and forethought can go a long way to seeing you find your way home eventually.  Help your rescuers help you!

Join us tonight to learn all about it!

Welcome back to Wayward Stories!

This week we’re trying on a new pair of boots…we’re bringing back one of our earliest episodes as a “classic”.  This episode looks back on a night I spent on the face of Big Bluff overlooking the Buffalo National River, chasing after an elusive Long exposure of the Milky Way. Not only did I get that picture, but also front row seats to a raccoon cage match, a feral hog invasion and lots of other treats courtesy of the Ozark Mountains. This is something I haven’t considered doing before, but its finals week, work has been insane and I simply don’t have the time or brain space to be able to bring you a fresh episode this week.  Also, super bonus…you do get a nostalgic peek at the outro clip from the early days…which was a lot of fun.  I might just bring it back permanently 🤔

Welcome back to Wayward Stories! After an unexpected dark week due to personal reasons, we’re back with a brand episode. This week we add to our on-going search and rescue series with some fresh tales from the field. As a matter of fact, search and rescue is part of the reason I couldn’t get an episode out last week. Tonight we talk about two different searches we executed recently, talk about joint training opportunities and so much more!  Search and Rescue, much like life…is all about teamwork. Listen in to find out all about it!

Welcome back to Wayward Stories!  

This week we explore one of, what is in my opinion, Arkansas’ best state parks.  Petit Jean State Park offers a literal crap-ton of hiking, an impressive 90 ft waterfall, a beautiful lodge, and some of the best sunrise/sunset views in the entire state.  We also talk at length about getting our children engaged and involved with the great outdoors, as well as Petit Jean’s impressive collection of Mississippian-era indigenous rock art.

Welcome back to Wayward Stories!  This week we take a look back at 2022 for me personally, and explore what it means to build a foundation to prepare to challenge big goals in our lives. As always, my hope is that you might hear something tonight that will inspire you to challenge your own personal summits.

Welcome back to Wayward Stories!  This week’s show was inspired by the many amazing guides and outfitters I spent 3 days hanging out with at the 2022 Ozark’s Outdoor Recreation Expo.  If you are one of the many people for whom the planning and hassle that goes into getting out and exploring the world is something you simply don’t have the time or energy for, guided adventures might be the answer to your dilemma.  You just pick out a window of time and let these great guides do the rest!  Listen in tonight to hear about guided options for the White River, War Eagle Creek, the Buffalo River and the many hiking trails throughout the Ozarks!  From side by sides to Johnboats, from hiking boots to fly rods, tonight’s show is full of ideas!

Welcome back to Wayward Stories, my spooky Wayward Souls!  This week’s episode is getting a special early drop, so you guys can listen over your spooky holiday weekend!  This week I tell some stories from my past about some really creepy encounters I’ve had while out exploring the world.  I was legend tripping before legend tripping was cool 😂

Let me just say this: every story in this nearly 2 hour long episode really happened to me, and some of them…well, some of them just have no good and reasonable explanation. They are what they are, take it or leave it, believe it or not. 

I hope you all enjoy, and have a good spooky weekend!
