Nothing like being out and about in the woods and nature calls.  I don’t know about you, but Dunkin Donuts napkins are my savior, and my buddy Rich has an endless supply of McDonalds napkins readily available when… ...Read More

RipSomeLips

I follow some people on youtube, but one that I thoroughly enjoy is youtube channel RipSomeLips. It is run by a team of brothers that are still young teenagers. In a day where it hard to get to kids to go outside and play because of an electronic world, it is refreshing to see kids like these that still enjoy doing outdoor activities. They are also passionate about… ...Read More
