This week I want to recognize @Jay Hanan . 🔥 A few weeks back Jay asked a simple question — “My kids want to camp, any tips?” Two girls, ages 3 and 7, ten years since he’d been out there. What happened next is why I built this place. Y’all showed up. Real advice. Real stories. No flexing. Just people helping a dad get his daughters started. But here’s what made it stick — Jay went out, applied it, and came back to tell us. Grabbed a Thermacell for a wild boar trip, used it, reported back. Ask, apply, share. That’s the loop. Jay is also building eXplorers 🚀 — a community for makers, engineers, and creators who use music to focus. 45+ years at the piano, live improvised sessions every week for deep work. If you run a business, build, write, or just need to lock in — worth a look. 👇 https://www.skool.com/innovate-5678/about Jay — appreciate you. 🤝 Where the Map Ends, The WILD begins!! Stay Rugged.

What’s your plan for the weekend?? Getting outside?

Quarter mile from the launch, a stump found our trolling motor before we did. Board snapped clean. Drove home, came back with a saw and a drill. Ninety minutes later we were back on the water. River was the lowest I’ve ever paddled it. Camped with a gator across the channel. Lost a pole to a catfish in the night. Tina caught the biggest fish of the trip the next morning — camera wasn’t running. The St. Mary’s took three things from us. We called it even.

@Tyler Farrior —. Tyler is joining the team as a moderator! He’ll be helping welcome new members, keeping discussions on track, and running some of our events when I can’t make it. Give him a warm welcome 👋 — glad to have you on board, Tyler!”
