Outdoor Wild Living is created and maintained by Ken Hoffmaster. The site grew from years of interest in wildlife, camping, fishing, outdoor problem-solving and spending time outside with family.

The goal is simple: preserve the older articles that are still worth reading, improve the ones that need work, and publish better guides that help people make practical decisions outdoors.

This is not a large editorial staff pretending to be something it is not. It is an independently run site being rebuilt around useful research, personal outdoor interests and clearer, more honest recommendations.
