The Blogger

I’m a Minnesota-boy, born and raised. I grew up spending my summers in the North Woods and when I wasn’t up north, I could be found exploring the parks along the Mississippi River.

In college I studied Forestry & Natural Resources, but I still think of myself as an amateur. I’m a hobbyist outdoorsman, bush-crafter and a brand new blogger. I’m not an expert in any way, shape or form. No, I’m just a guy who aggressively values self-reliance, likes using his hands, enjoys the outdoors and is happiest when setting things on fire.

I invite you to learn from me--and with me--as I combine my love of wildlife with a healthy preoccupation with self-preservation. 

A special thanks to Shanita, for her constant support and for making all of this possible, and my Dad, William E. Miller, for always encouraging me to learn more.
