Just got a new Guide Partner to host pastors and missionaries for awesome fishing adventures in Sitka, AK.

I can’t recommend these guys enough, as our family is here enjoying a week away and building new relationships with future partners.

I'm making a trip to Tacoma on this Tuesday morning around 10am to meet up and collect donations for this gear drive. If anyone wants to meet me around that time, please send me a PM. Would love to combine trips for folks.

Thanks to GWP for meeting up with me this week and giving a bunch of great donations!

More News:

I took out 6 people this week on the water, both fresh and salt, to help pastors, missionaries, ministry leaders and their families learn to experience and enjoy the outdoors.

My son, (Nate, who's 15), was the deckhand on the boat and I oversaw our guests.

  - We had 1 pastor's kid fishing for salmon and crab. He'd never caught either before. We had success, as he reeled in 2 coho and caught a bunch of rock crabs.

  - We had 1 Ministry Director who brought out his kids over two days on fresh water to learn how to fish. None of them had any gear, so we hooked 'em up  with rods, reels, tackle boxes, tackle. We paid for his license and discovery pass as well.  And we had success!

   - And then today, we took an Army Veteran and ministry leader out for some salmon fishing. He'd never fished from a boat before today. We changed that and sent him home with 2 beautiful coho. He was all grins.


Over and over again, I keep bragging on this Hunting Forum and the folks who keep donating gear or $ to allow me to introduce ministry leaders and their families to hunting or fishing. When a ministry leader or church pastor experiences the outdoors for the first time, their eyes are opened to a whole new world and a better understanding of why outdoorsmen love the interactions we encounter with one another and creation. And that's a great thing!

As to the New Deer Hunters we've been gathering gear for, as they prepare for this fall's deer hunt, one just texted me yesterday to share that he'd finished the Hunter's Certification classes.

Back from a week of vacation with the family. Just got an update from the two deer hunters - they're confirming that they're excited to go hunting this fall. They're so stoked.

Over the past month, I've been building a gear storage shed for all the donations that have come in and for the anticipated future. The lumber and siding has been donated by hunters that believe in what I'm doing. Thank you so much for your ongoing investment in this.

If you have gear you'd still like to donate, please let me know.
