Three Squares a Day
Whatever you do just have a good time and enjoy yourself. It is fun and relaxing. Sure, it is not for everyone, but for some, it is exactly what we need to take our mind off the stress of everyday life. Those "three squares a day" will keep us happy, healthy and strong, ready for that next adventure. -
Staying Warm
We have been through a lot. Heat has tormented us. Cold has chilled us to the point of uncontrollable shivers. Yet we learn. We find ways to improvise and overcome whatever is thrown at us. We have tested and proven and tested and disproved what we have been told or shown. It took us getting out there, no matter what the prediction was, and testing it for ourselves. That is the only way. Each one of us are different. We all set out thermostats on different temperatures. We all have different comfort levels. Some of us may be "fair weather" and that is ok, but we have decided that the weather may throw us a curveball, but we will not miss any valuable time, staying home, believing we will not enjoy ourselves. We have disproved that theory. We will overcome, stay warm, and make memories. -
The Excitement of New Gear
No, we do not need everything under the sun. There is a ton of awesome gear out there, but most of it I realize I do not need it. It is nice and I am sure that it will be for someone, just not for me. There is a fine hard line between need and want. Then there are the items that we see and realize, "this will make life much more enjoyable and easier when we are camping." Those items exist. That gear exists and when we get it in, it is the best day ever! -
Buy Once, Cry Once
"Buy once, cry once…" Yes, you may have some immediate regret knowing that you paid more than what you wanted to, but more than likely, the time will come, when you will be glad you have quality over cheap. When that rainstorm comes, when you still have it 5 years down the road and it is still holding up, when that summer heat is belting down…yes you cried when you bought it, but that is the only time you will cry. For now you know you did the right thing. -
Others Before Self
Morning Minute with the BROfessor
Putting others before yourself in life may make zero sense to us and those around us, but in your quality of life and those around you, it will make a huge difference.

The Day We Have Waited For...
We have prepared for this day. We have searched the apps and news for the up and coming weekend. We have picked out our spot. We know where we are going. Saturday cannot come fast enough. We need this escape. We need this time to breathe and exhale. We have needed this for months and now it is here. Let's go. Let's get away. Let's restart, rejuvenate, release and re-gain that lease on life, that love for the time that we have been given on this beautiful earth. Do not fail to take advantage of this day, for this is the day we have waited for. -
