ReelCamo Girl Product Review - Balleck Outdoors Dry Shower

One of my favorite things about dry shower is the fact that I can use it year-round not only for all my outdoor adventures to include camping and backcountry hunting but also daily life!

I have super fine hair that tends to get oily quickly! I can wash my hair in the morning before work at 0500 and by 2000 that same night it is already looking greasy from all the natural oils on my scalp.

Mother/Daughter Turkey Hunt

Each year the San Diego Chapter of the National Wildlife Turkey Federation has a couple of opportunities for kids to pull for hunts on private land and we asked Abby if she would like to try for a hunt. She’s a lucky girl and her name was pulled for both opportunities! March 18th was her date and she was set to hunt on the Santa Ysabel preserve with a mentor from the NWTF and me. Only 20 people are allowed to hunt on this preserve each year and it is the kids on the Saturday and Sunday of this Mentored Youth Hunt so it’s a special deal. They close the hunt area to the public so it remains safe for all.

Nature’s Paint Face Paint – RCG Product Review

Growing up I never used face paint. Honestly, growing up hunting was a lot different than it is now. It was simple, much simpler before social media and staff positions/sponsorships.

2017 Deer Season and a few Big Lessons

I haven’t always been a hunter; it wasn’t until I met my husband that I was even interested in it, even though I’ve always been a wild game eater. Now, 3 years in to being a huntress, I couldn’t imagine my life without hunting. There is nothing quite like spending a day out in the back country. Even though I have been hunting for 3 years, 2017 was my hardest year so far for deer hunting.

Asparagus 101

Asparagus is great whether it's from the ditch, woods, or garden. In my house it's a kitchen staple. My family bought our little 65-acre hobby farm in November of 2004 and started our asparagus patch the following summer. The bed didn't produce the five-pound cuttings back then like it does today. Here are our secrets to great success in growing asparagus at home:
