HARD lessons learned | What NOW??

Hey folks – this one’s a little different.

While out at Truman Lake on what was shaping up to be an awesome crappie trip, I had something happen that I just needed to share. I lost my iPhone 15 Pro Max straight into the lake — along with two full videos, all my passwords, and a bunch of personal memories. 😞

This video isn't just about the loss — it's about the lessons learned, how I'm changing my setup, and where I'm hoping to take the channel next.

If you're here for the transparency, real talk, and the behind-the-scenes of an outdoor content creator figuring it out on the fly, this one’s for you.
