Field Notes
What we are learning, as we learn it.
Three kinds of writing live here. Each one exists because somebody asked us a fair question and deserved a straight answer.
01
Why we do it this way
The reasoning behind a decision — how we teach, who we let near a kid, what we will not do. Written for the parent who wants to know before they say yes.
02
From the field
What actually happened on a day out. The weather, the misses, the long walk back. Not a highlight reel.
03
What it takes
The numbers. Hours, miles, rounds and dollars, and the specific places a kid without a hunting family gets stuck.
