Paddling around the lower falls at Tahquamenon Falls State Park. We got as close to the lower falls as we could before the rocks stopped us. #kayak #kayaking #tahquamenonfalls #paddling #recharging #nature #michigan #michiganoutdoors #upperpeninsula #waterfall #waterfalls

My entry into the #woodstickstovecookingchallenge. I was invited to film a video by @lowermichiganadventures about cooking over a wood stick fire stove. I figured this would be the perfect opportunity to show off the Firebox Stove's 8 panel bushcraft setup. I cook redskin mashed potatoes, green beans, and a perfectly cooked ribeye. Paired with with a cherry cola because its all I had left in the cooler that wasn't water. Part of the challenge is calling out three other creators, so I'm going to see if I can get @jeremysart @josephallen19 and @offcourseoutdoors8366 to join in and see if we can keep this challenge going. Check out @lowermichiganadventures video with the details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jM8sOIg0cg&t=65s @fireboxstove #woodstickstovecookingchallenge #woodburning #woodstove #cooking #cookingwithwood #fireboxstove #firebox #asmr #steak #steaklovers #meatandpotatoes #billypot

I didn't film much of the day, but today my dad, brother and me rode to Memphis, Michigan for the blessing of the bikes. #harleydavidson #harleylovers #harley #motovlog #motovlogger #motovlogging #blessings #blessingofbikes #family #riding #motorcycle #motorcyclelife #motorcycles

Today we make a wooden crate out of scrap wood laying around the garage. It's use changes several times through out the course of making it, but it ended up being a crate to store all of the new Firebox Stove gear. #woodworking #woodencraft #woodencrafts #handmade #howto #woodburning #wood #firebox #fireboxstove #handsaw #traditionalwoodworking

Getting ready for cub scout crossover, I had the boys make one last project. A stick of wood with a hook, and Velcro on it, and a point on one end. They all asked what it was for, but I told them it's a secret. #cubscouts #crossover #boyscouts #boyscout #woodworking #woodworker #mysterious #mystery

For spring break we decided to take a road trip with the kids to Chicago. During the few days we spent there, we got to walk through the Harry Potter Magic at Play experience, as well as visit the SlooMoo Slime Museum. #roadtrip #chicago #harrypotter #sloomoo #slime #springbreak2023

We got to experience the Happy Potter Magic at Play attraction in Chicago this week. The whole experience took around an hour to go through and in my opinion was worth the cost of the tickets. The attention to detail and various section offered fun for the kids as well as adults. #chicago #harrypotter #harrypottermagicatplay #harrypotterfan #magicatplay #wizard #wizards #wizards
