My personal Substack for all outdoor writing for outdoorsmen, writers, and those looking to burn time.
I am a first-generation outdoorsman and father. I'm lucky enough to write and share what I love with new people everyday.
Based in NC with half a lifetime in Florida and the other in Massachusetts.
The Westrn is a media cooperative of professional writers and journalists focused on narrative journalism, in-depth articles, personal stories, and creative literature in the outdoor space.
Storytelling, poetry, photography, conversation, and some hard-earned scars. All the Smythe projects.
Exploration and insights at the intersection of food, hunting, fishing and nature
