Since the measure of success of every fishing outing, whether it is on its own or connected to other outdoor activities, is making memories, it’s important to capture them to reminisce and to share. The most effective and time-efficient way to do that is by taking pictures and videos with your phone. This isn’t new. [...]
Raise your hand if you have a Mom that loves outdoor adventure! We certainly did, and it was what made us who we are today. We have memories of hiking, collecting bugs, climbing trees, and catching our first fish. Kudos to the Moms out there that understand the importance of the outdoors. Hats off to [...]
Some lucky fishing enthusiasts first purchased the Zebco 33 that we all know and love in 1954. Many of us grew up with the reel and loved it. Mainly because it never fails. Over the years Zebco has always kicked out reliable, affordable rods and reels for recreational fishing. Every year I see more and [...]
Teepee camping is something that I’ve been curious about for many years. I’ve always been attracted to the simplicity of the structure. They’re uncomplicated, but when set up correctly they’re incredibly robust and spacious inside. When you peruse the internet, you’ll see plenty of glamping teepees that are built on wooden platforms that also have [...]

Watch as this Python Hunter successfully captures a massive snake in the Everglades. Although Pythons are native to Southeast Asia, no one knows the exact origin of how Burmese pythons came to Florida. According to WikiPedia, although Burmese pythons were first sighted in Everglades National Park in the 1980s, they were not officially recognized as a reproducing [...]
On our last Field Trip to California, our friends at Kershaw Knives asked us if we wanted to spend the afternoon hanging out with professional skateboarder Chris Cole. Kershaw’s connection with him stems from a skate tool that he helped to develop, and it’s called the Kickflip. Skateboarding doesn’t have much to do with camping, [...]
I’ll start out by saying that I’m not a primitive skills expert by any means. I spend a lot of time outside, have built plenty of primitive shelters, and I’m handy with a knife. That said, starting a friction fire is an entirely different thing. It requires a level of persistence that rivals all other [...]
I would bet a fair amount of money that we have the record for the largest vehicle even taken on the Lake Hughes Truck trail. On our last 50 Campfires Field Trip to Los Angeles, we spent a lot of time in the Angeles National Forest. At over 700,000 acres, it’s full of rugged hiking, [...]
Guppies Fishing Adventures for the win! Los Angeles is a crazy place. Four million people in only 469 square miles make Los Angeles County the most populated county in the country. It’s dense, busy, and it takes forever to get anywhere. When I think about the city of Los Angeles, fishing is not something that [...]
