Grizld in the Winter


I really don't like winter. It's cold and gray. But this year I'm determined to enjoy more outdoor pursuits despite the seasonal depression that comes along with the reduced sunlight. I've invested in ice fishing gear. I'll be doing more rabbit and squirrel hunting. I plan on hitting the rivers for steelhead. All of this will be done with a camera in hand, or in the hand of my wife or another friend if I'm lucky. There's too much outside to enjoy rather than sitting inside watching other people do those things on YouTube. I do hope to start collaborating with others following similar passions. Grizld was created with the intent of showing others how to enjoy outdoor pursuits without draining bank accounts. And winter holds just as many opportunities as the rest of the year. We just have to go after them. If you or anyone you know is interested in any kind of hunting, fishing, or other outdoor activity, please contact us and we'll do everything we can to help you find the resources and access necessary.

2025 A New Year For Grizld

Image
Yes, we know it's a new year for everyone else too. But for us, 2025 is a year that is going to bring a number of changes to the Grizld brand. We have been creating content on our website and YouTube for three full years now, and have learned enough to analyze what is working and what isn't. As Grizld wouldn't exist without you, we wanted to share some of the changes and improvements we have in mind for the coming year.  First off, we are dedicating ourselves to creating more content. This will encompass both YouTube videos and articles on our website. We already have articles for the website planned out for most of the coming year,so keep an eye out. We also have a number of video series concepts that we think will really resonate with the Grizld audience on YouTube. These series will be recorded this year, with the goal of building a library of videos to release starting in 2026. On top of these planned series, we will be working diligently to provide new videos throught ...

The Interminable "March" Toward Spring

Image
For a good part of the country, March is a frustratingly long transition period where it's generally just cold and wet enough to make most outdoor pursuits less than enjoyable. There's mud everywhere and odds are you're going to end up in it at some point if you're out long enough. But every now and then we're blessed with a day here or a couple there where the rain/snow abates, the wind dies down, and we can fully enjoy our time outdoors.  It's during these rare days that you can often find me hitting one of the creeks or rivers that are so numerous in west Michigan. Most folks are probably thinking I'm excited to get out and target steelhead, as many of my fellow Michiganders are doing. But that's not my style. You see, deep down, I'm just a rough and ragged country boy, and early spring fishing for me means sucker.  Yes, you read that correctly. Sucker. The ugly, big lipped, bony fleshed, bottom feeding, trash fish. At least that's how they ar...

Living Wild in a Domesticated Society

Image
Growing up, large portions of my summer were spent working in our garden. When I say garden, let me lay this out so you understand a little better. This wasn't your standard vegetable garden that you see in somebody's back yard with a little fence around it and a cute little scarecrow propped up in the center. Our garden was big. It varied a bit over the years, but on average it was about 30 yards wide and 50 yards long. We grew pretty much everything that would survive in Michigan, from asparagus to zucchini. We had your standards like green beans, potatoes, and tomatoes, but we also grew okra, tomatillos, and kholrabi. There were melons, squash, and root vegetables.We made our own pickles, spaghetti sauce, and relish. We canned beets. We froze strawberries, rasberries, and corn. Our garden provided a very large percentage of our food throughout the year.  Besides the garden, we also foraged. We'd hunt for morels in the spring. We would pick black raspberries and blackberr...
