We’ve talked about Wild before because it made us want to grab our backpack and go for a hike. The movie adaptation starring Reese Witherspoon opens in theaters today and we can’t wait to see if it stands up to our expectations.

Let us know what you think if you go see it!

We hope you’re having a great Thanksgiving and gearing up for a full meal with your family today (anyone trying the Roasted Pheasant recipe from yesterday?). 

We have so much to be thankful for this year! It hasn’t even been a full year since we started Camo Is the New Black and we’ve had more than 15,000 website views. We’ve been able to share so many inspiring stories about sportswomen and we are thrilled that there’s been so much interest in reading and sharing them.

Last week, we put up a petition to unite hunters and show support for Eva Shockey – we are overwhelmed by your response! There are almost 200 signatures and you didn’t stop there – CITNB’s Facebook page saw big jumps and we’re almost at 1,000 fans.
