I think I must have started and deleted about five blogs over the past 10 years. I always start them, keep them up for a little bit, end up hating them, and delete them. I think I know why - I get too specific about a topic and find it difficult to maintain and I try to stick to an upload schedule and get disappointed when I don't keep it up.
This time is going to be different. I'm not going to strictly talk about one sole topic like I did in the past (I'm looking at you weightlifting). I'm going to write about something I'm actually really passionate about and that I do fairly regularly - being outdoors. So this blog is going to be about the outdoorsy things that I do: camping, canoeing, fishing, and hiking.
I already take tons of photos and videos but I've been somewhat shy to post them because I'm actually really sensitive to criticism about my photography, videos, and writing. I'm the kind of person that if I don't catch a spelling mistake and it goes live I obsess about it and beat myself up about it for weeks or even years. Yeah, it's an issue and it's something I'm trying to work on. So I'm going to try really hard to not be so critical of myself and just take things in stride and enjoy the ride because I think I'm missing out on some of the happier moments in life by constantly brooding over my work.
Hopefully I can get one or two people reading this. I tend to do a lot of research about places to go to and gear to use and I find that there's a big lack of resources that actually give detail and don't have some kind of sponsored hidden agenda and isn't just after getting as many views as possible. So my goal is to share the things I've learned and the interesting things I do and the focus will be on quality over quantity. I'm just going to do my thing and I hope you enjoy what I share. See you around!
