Hank Patterson's Outdoor Misadventures

Don't let the number 27 fool you. This is not an episode. This is an episode about not having an episode. We're all too sick with a cold, the flu and walking pneumonia to put together a full episode.  Kevin called in sick. Alex doesn't want to be around sick people.  Hank was tough enough and dedicated enough to head into the studio and record this amazing non episode.  We'll be back next week with the real deal.  In the meantime, please enjoy listening to Hank's cold.  

While Alex is away chasing her filmmaking dreams, Hank is joined by Kevin and his friend Lila whom you may recognize from the Hank Patterson's Camp Hawgadawgadaa series. On this episode we've got a record number of bleeps and a rousing discussion about outdoor activities we would or would not try.  Enjoy! 

Finally, a thoughtful, insightful, spot on podcast with sound relationship advice for those who enjoy the great outdoors! And who better to give that bullet proof advice than expert relationship-er Hank Patterson?! Are you an indoorsy human with an outdoorsy significant other? This podcast is for you.  Outdoorsy with and indoorsy spouse? Listen up and save the marriage.  Enjoy! 

Join Hank, Kevin and Alex on a search for the most ridiculous outdoor items money can buy.  From canned sandwiches to bear spray backpacks, you're sure to find something so seemingly absurd you'll want to buy it.  Enjoy!

On this episode Hank, Kevin and Alex spend a record amount of time not getting to the point...  Buckle up for our longest (that doesn't mean best) episode yet all about wolf attacks, barrels of body parts and outdoor gear you could or maybe shouldn't skimp on.  

On this episode Hank is joined by friend, camera guy, editor and crew member Jake Hixon. They talk about a myriad of random things including silver salmon, frozen pizza, fishing into waterfalls and dropping eight thousand dollar cameras on concrete. Enjoy!

Just when we thought we had nothing to talk about on this weeks episode, Hank fell on his face.  Here's an episode all about getting injured in the wilderness. Pro Tip: Wear pants when climbing up rock walls.  Enjoy!

Finally, Hank gets to share his vast knowledge of the art world and all it's ism's - cubism, surrealism, expressionism, impressionism - with you listeners. On this episode Hank is joined by his good friend Artist Ed Anderson. It's a conversation about practically nothing and most of Hank's jokes fall flat.  Ed and Alex do a hell of a job.  Enjoy!

Take your thinking caps off! You won't need them for this or any other episode of this podcast. On this weeks show Hanks shares some random observations about camping, campgrounds, driving fast, littering and much more. Because nobody else would come talk to him, Hank is again joined by Alex and Kevin.  Enjoy!    

There's no better camping companion than a dog. Unless it's a dog that bites people in the face or a dog that never stops barking or unless you're an owner who yells at the dog to stop barking more than the dog actually barks or unless your dog hates the outdoors.  Other than that, there's no better camping companion.  Here's Hank, Kevin and Alex talking about 1/2 the things you need to consider if you're considering taking your dog camping.  Enjoy. 

Finally, a rambling podcast that goes right to the heart of the controversial issues associated with how we, as a society, define what is or is not camping and what should or should not be considered a campground.  Listen. Camp. Learn nothing. Repeat.  

Among other nonsense, Hank, Alex and Kevin discuss camp hosts cleaning bathrooms, gluten free beer, exploding whales and whether or not to watch movies while camping. 

Hey everybody! We're taking the week off for the 4th of July. Here's a mini episode to get you through the holiday.  It's all about fireworks, thunder vests for dogs, Alex's mom's farm and laying eggs.  Happy 4th of July! Celebrate safely.  

If you thought the other episodes were about absolutely nothing at all, wait'll you hear this one! Hank complains about his cold, talks about the ice cream truck, looks at property near West Yellowstone, drops in to Bozeman and fishes Silver Creek.  You get to hear random bits about his trip.  Enjoy! 

Owning a cabin is the dream of many outdoor enthusiasts. A quiet, relaxing getaway somewhere far from the hustle and bustle of the honk honk and beep beep of the city.  But is it truly worth it? Is the dream a lie? In this episode Hank, Alex and Kevin discuss whether owning a cabin is truly a dream or an absolute nightmare.  

In this episode about absolutely nothing in particular Hank and Alex are joined by their fishing friend Charene "The Adventure Queen" Herrera. They talk about fly fishing, women in fly fishing, adventuring, Idaho, Montana and cheesecake.  

Freshly back from basking in the glorious sun on the island of Kauai, Hank's ready to share some tips on how you too can enjoy telling everyone about your vacation. Listen carefully, useful bits of information in this episode are few and far between.  Hambone!  

Are you ready to embark on your summer outdoor adventures?  Geared up? Destinations identified? Dates circled on the calendar? On this episode, Hank, Kevin and Sean (sitting in for Alex) give some tips you likely haven't considered and certainly won't find anywhere else on how you can get the most out of your summer.  Five minutes of solid advice in an hour long podcast! Enjoy.

The only thing more meandering and off the beaten path than actual hiking is this episode!  Hank is, once again, joined by Kevin and Alex for an in-depth, in-correct and off the rails discussion on all things hiking.  Enjoy! 

In this episode Hank is in Missoula, Montana, recording with his good friends Tom Rosenbauer, Hilary Hutcheson, Joel Thompson and Erik Moncada. It's an episode that starts off the rails and never finds its way back. You're sure to learn absolutely nothing from some of fly fishing's greatest.  HashPound Ticks!
