Favorite Outdoor Trip: Would have to be when the Coalcracker crew got together before Dan went on Alone. We had such a blast frog gigging and cooking. Was one of those trips we still laugh about and it made a great YouTube video.

What outdoor skill took you the longest to learn?: Bow drill fire definitely took me the longest to achieve. With help from Dan, it took me well over a month.

What is your favorite topic to teach at the Appalachian Bushman School? I love everything we teach, but wild medicinals and tree identification are my favorite.

What is your favorite campfire meal? Tough choice but I have to go with mississippi pot roast.

What is your favorite knife grind? I am a scandi kind of guy.

Yurt Life or Cabin Life? Cabin life

(Be honest) How long does it take you to get your gear ready for a class? It starts a week before the class getting my main bag together for teaching. After I get that organized I move to my extra clothing bag and my bucket. The night before class I cook and get all my food together and usually unpack and repack my gear I did the week before.

Would you rather ride your electric bike or hike? Electric bike

Do you like people or dogs better? Dogs 💯 they don't give you any lip.
