Wild Within is outdoor writing that gets distracted. A cascade. A four-inch fish. A saloon. A concert.
Alex Wilder (pen name). Trails, four-inch fish, and a bad habit of changing the subject. Smokies, mostly. Pronghorn country when I can get there.
Essays, stories, and field practices that help all of us become more attentive, capable, and connected through an outdoor life.
Storytelling, poetry, photography, conversation, and some hard-earned scars. All the Smythe projects.
My personal Substack for all outdoor writing for outdoorsmen, writers, and those looking to burn time.
