In this Into the Outdoors episode, we’re meeting up with the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary to learn more about different boating technologies that could save your life in the case of a boating accident. We use technology every day, and there are tons of different tools you should keep on your vessel to aid in the case of an emergency. Join Adventure Team members Zach and Charlie as they head to the marina to learn what items you should have aboard your vessel and what safety precautions you should do before even stepping foot on the dock!
In this Into the Outdoors episode, we learn about bowfishing for the invasive species, common carp.
Watch as Into the Outdoors Adventure Team members, Garrett and Kayla bowfish during the spawn near Green Bay, Wisconsin.
We learn how bowfishing plays an important role in conservation efforts to protect native fish in lakes and rivers.
Our team also identifies how to get into the sport, what gear you need and why this is family friendly sport.
This episode is action-packed and all about fun!
In this Into the Outdoors episode, we’re heading out on the water in a variety of different water crafts!
Water sports have gained popularity in recent years, and with more people out on the water, we want to make sure everyone is enjoying the water safely.
Join Adventure Team members Zach and Charlie as they try out stand up paddle boards (SUPs), kayaks, canoes and personal watercrafts (PWCs), while learning the important safety steps to take before getting in the water. Think you know all about these fun watercrafts?
Test your knowledge along with Zach and Charlie in this exciting and knowledge-packed episode!
It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of launching your canoe, or other watercraft, and forget to follow the proper safety measures to keep yourself safe in the case of an accident.
However, taking these precautions could end up saving your life. Join Adventure Team members Zach and Charlie as they prepare for their water adventure by taking a variety of safety measures before launching their canoe.
Having a float plan and sharing it with someone, knowing your plan of action in the case of an emergency and being prepared for your adventure with the right gear/equipment can help you in the case of an accident, or even prevent one from happening.
Test yourself! Are these things you do before heading out on the water?
Before you hit the water, you should make sure the watercraft you are using is the right one for you and your adventure.
There are a lot of similarities and differences between larger watercraft, such as power boats, and smaller watercraft, such as SUPs, kayaks, canoes and PWCs.
For instance, a large boat is more stable in the water but it can’t turn as quickly as a personal watercraft (PWC) can. However, the maneuverability of a PWC can cause them to tip more easily than a boat. Knowing and being aware of these differences can better prepare you for a safe day on the water.
Join Adventure Team members Zach and Charlie as they learn about what makes large and small watercraft different, what things they have in common and how to choose the best craft for your water adventure!
In this Into the Outdoors episode, we’re jumping into the science and importance of PFDs, or personal floatation devices – you know, your life jacket! Wearing a PFD can save your life in the case of a boating accident, but don’t take our word for it;

You’ve likely worn one before, but do you know how a life jacket can save your life? Life jackets, or Personal Floatation Devices (PFDs), are the number one way to prevent yourself from drowning in the case of a boating accident, but why? Join Adventure Team members Zach and Phoebe as they dive deeper into the science of buoyancy as well as in-water testing to show you how PFDs work and how they can save your life.
How would you react in the case of a boating accident? You can never really know how you’ll react, so it’s important to make sure you are prepared well before one can even occur. Our Into the Outdoors Adventure Team members, Zach and Phoebe, reached out to Hunter Bland, a boating accident survivor, to learn more about how to be prepared for a worst case scenario. Join us as they learn more about the specific gear you should be utilizing every time you go out on the water!
