About Me: Hello, I'm Darrell. I was Born in Northeast Ohio and Raised in Riviera Bch in south Florida at the age of 18 I returned to my hometown in Northeast Ohio and I have been ageing gracefully ever since, as you might have guessed I love the great outdoors, I have lived a life crossed between Tom Sawyer and Daniel Boone, growing up in a fishing community I spent most of my youth on the intercostal waterway and the small islands that dot the coast of the mainland, I learned survival skills at an early age as well as many other useful and colorful ,obscure skills over the years from some of the greatest people I have had the pleasure to have ever known. most memorably my Dad. who started me early on the water and taught me the basics in navigation and seamanship, at 12 I was given a small 8ft Trimaran and the following year a 17ft fiberglass canoe both of which I spent most of my time aboard growing up. When I wasn't on the water I was always near it, You could say I lived on it and you would be correct as I lived just 1000ft from the waters edge. at 18 I followed my parents back to Ohio to care for my Grandparents in their aging years and after my own parents died I just never left, returning to Ohio was a bit of a shock to the system for me, I soon realized that an entirely different skillset was needed to survive the rugged northeastern United States, and over the years I have taught myself to hunt and trap as well as survive the harsh terrain and cold winters of Ohio and Pa, it was an interesting transformation from Bilge Rat to Field Mouse but I learned a few things along the way and I look forward to sharing them with you. for about the last decade or so life got in the way and I was forced to move closer to the city which limited my outdoors life to ZERO The last two years or so I have been watching the outdoors community on YouTube and making plans to make my grand return to the outdoors its been tough with health problems and a busy schedule but that hasn't stopped me from finding a patch of woods here and there scattered about the city and setting up camp, There isn't much that I don't like to do, I prefer fishing and small game hunting as well as Backpacking and Hiking, I also enjoy practicing BushCraft skills and designing and building my own gear but like I said I enjoy doing it all, fishing poles to firearms and everything in between...
Not the Globalist type: I look forward to seeing you out there and getting to know you. I'm looking to meet and meet up with others that share the same interests I do and can relate to the lifestyle, I'm oldschool, I like to camp hunt fish and trap and I do so without guilt or remorse. I believe trees are building materials and provide nutrients and sustenance and animals are food and for making tools and clothing from... I do leave a trace but never a mess, This planet was create for one thing to sustain life it was created to be inhabited by the human race, I don't buy the global warming scare and the whole save the planet ideology, if that is your thing have to it but I don't care for those who try to tell me what I can and can not do in the name of Mother Earth. I hunt animals I kill animals and I eat animals, I cut down perfectly good trees and build the things I need with their flesh. I'm not telling you that you have to accept my way of life just don't tell me I don't have the right, My rights are not given by the government they are Granted by God and they are unalienable. if this offends you I suggest you seek out someone more like yourself because I will only offend you on a regular basis and raise your blood pressure to new heights. However if you feel the same and agree with my lifestyle and are accustomed to the same feel free to subscribe to my channel add me on Facebook and Google+ and tweet me if you like... God Bless.
