outdoor writing

Corey Lucas and Kaj Carlson sit down in the Cedar Run studio with Jason Herbert, author, teacher, and newly crowned Cedar Run Decoy Company staff writer.

Jason has an interesting journey into success in the outdoor industry through the tried-and-true method of finding a passion (hunting), getting good at it, and then writing about it... all while pushing past the constraints of modern day education.

We focus much of the discussion on Jason's series of "Never Trust a Fart" books and where he got the inspiration for these hilarious and true stories.

Cedar Run is excited to have Jason join the team as he will help tell our story through many different outlets.

We all decided on this side of the podcast that we need to be real life friends with Andrew McKean. Andrew conveyed a curious spirit and kind approach - a true journalist heart. He has traveled the world and had once-in-a-lifetime experiences while serving as Hunting and Conservation Editor for Outdoor Life Magazine, Hunting Editor for Strung magazine, Conservation Editor for Western Hunting Journal, Conservation Editor for Game & Fish, and contributor to Wild Sheep, Pheasants Forever Journal, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation’s Bugle Magazine, Ducks Unlimited, Petersen’s Hunting, Montana Outdoors, Guidefitter Journal, Gun Dog, Backcountry Hunter, Big Sky Journal, and more. 

Andrew recently left a writer’s event in Montana where he and his peers tested over 70 optics products and he talks about all the categories including budget, versatile, LPVO, precision and electro-optics. He shares his personal story of how a Missouri farm boy becomes a “grubby” newspaper man and eventually combines his love of hunting and words with his career path. 

Derrick and Andrew talk about the allure of sheep hunting and Andrew tells his story of traveling to India with the late Jim Corbett’s .275 Rigby rifle that was discovered in a closet at Oxford University. Full of wisdom and cheer, Andrew was a wonderful guest and a head full of knowledge — Derrick claims this podcast as one of his favorite interviews thus far.

Hello everyone. Welcome back for another episode of the Outdoor Adventure Series Podcast. 

Our guest today is Heather Physioc. 

Heather is an Outdoor Enthusiast, Photographer & Writer. She is passionate about traveling, exploring, photographing, and writing about the natural world. She hopes her images and writing can inspire a closer connection to nature and greater adoption and awareness of conservation needs.

Heather is also the granddaughter of Bruce Cochran.  Bruce was a cartoonist, illustrator, and author. He was a celebrated member of the Outdoor Writers Association of America (OWAA). He served on its Board of Directors, won numerous Excellence In Craft Awards, and was the 2017 recipient of the prestigious OWAA lifetime Excellence In Craft Award.

Bruce passed away this past August, and we are anxious to hear how Bruce inspired Heather to pursue her current path.

Aha Moment

The power of "Atomic Habits" to make true lifestyle/habit changes completely opened up my world in photography with more openness, exploration, experimentation, and grace.  Absolute game-changer. I cannot recommend it enough.
