The Great Outdoors.

The mystical mountains. The untamed wilderness. These aren’t just catchy phrases, these are real concepts woven into the fabric of who I am. When I’m not writing, I’m probably on an outdoor adventure gathering fodder for my next visit to the keyboard.

ThierOutdoors began several years ago as a blog site designed simply to showcase my unbelievable-but-true outdoor stories and photographs to relatives in the Midwest. If you want to explore my life outside, or peruse my many articles, just click here.

Me being charged by a bear? It’s here (both times!). Me being snuck-up on by a mountain lion? It’s here. And much more.

I hike for the exercise, for the vistas, and to breathe unpolluted air. I hunt for the connection to spirit, and to consume uncompromised food. Here you will find information about my wild side, inspiration for much of my writing, and many outdoor writing samples to enjoy.
