About Me

Hey, my name is Chris Tate, and welcome to my blog!

Before I get started on what my blog is about, I wanted to explain a little bit about myself and what I stand for.

I was born in Missouri, but I spent the majority of my growing up years in Newcastle, OK. For the last 23 years I have called Norman, OK my home. Since then, I’ve been falling in love with the outdoors…Well, pretty much since I could walk.

I’ve taken part in pretty much everything you can think of during this time, from pike fishing in the Saint Croix River in Minnesota, to kayaking in Lake McDonald in Montana, to challenging waterfall hikes in the Williamette forest in Oregon. 

But my local playground has always been in Oklahoma, and it’s one of the reasons I wanted to make this website.

For the past twenty years, I’ve been making frequent visits to all of Oklahoma’s state parks and reservoirs, and now, I’m ready to share some of my exciting experiences with you. 

Over the years, I’ve gained a lot of valuable experience like navigating trails, several ways to build a campfire, tying superior knots, understanding weather conditions, and so much more.

And this is where my inspiration came from for this blog.

I wanted to share everything I learned during the many years on the water and on the trail.

So, what is this blog about?

Our Stories

What is this

Blog for?

 I designed this blog to inspire as many people as possible to enjoy the great outdoors. I wanted this place to have great community engagement full of fun and creative ways to travel.

But I also wanted it to be a go-to website for how-tos, the dos and don’ts of camping, and so much more. I hope by doing this, I’ll help people experience Oklahoma in a different light.

And to do this, I’ll be honored to share my experiences with you. So, come along for the ride and enjoy it with me.
