Christmas Coundown #4: Raised on the Water

Guest Post

In the spirit  of the holidays, we’re counting down our top four guest posts until Christmas!  These posts were the most viewed and shared this year and totally worth another look.  In fourth place we have Christina Arguelles’s post – enjoy! And congrats Christina!!

As a Florida girl I was raised on the water. My dad had my brother, sister and I on the boat every weekend. We would tube, knee board, and swim. I remember always being fearful of alligator. Every time my brother was behind the boat on his knee board- always checking behind to make sure he did not fall or that my dad didn’t steer the boat too close to the swampy areas...

Happy Thanksgiving!

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.

So basically, you guys are the best...

Recently National Geographic featured a video about how hunters and anglers have made a difference in North Dakota, South Carolina, Washington state and the western U.S.   Although this video is awesome it only showcases a small part of what sportsmen and women have done for wildlife habitat. Through license fees paid by hunters and anglers, like the Federal Duck Stamp above, we have conserved wildlife habitat for generations to come while protecting our hunting and fishing heritage.  Being a sportsman or sportswoman is all about connecting people to nature so here at Camo is the New Black, we want to thank you for all you have done and what you will do in the future.  But as the saying goes “to whom much is given, much will be required...

Seeing the Light (Even if it’s Really Early)

Guest Post

By Jodi Stemler

I have a confession to make – I’m not much of a morning person. It’s not that I like to sleep late, (typically I can’t stay in bed later than 8 a.m. and most days I’m up by 7) but I definitely am a creature of the sun, and if it isn’t up then neither should I be. At least that’s my rationale...

What not to say to an adventurous pregnant woman

Catchy title, right?

I found this article in Women’s Adventure Magazine under the same title. Neither of the CITNB founders have had kids yet, but I can safely say we are both the type of women who hear “you can’t” and don’t have time to respond because we’re already doing. So with curiosity, I read the article with tips such as Don’t say:

  • Sell you [equipment] now because you’re never going to see it again!
  • You look like you’re going to pop!
  • I’ve lost my [activity] buddy!

These seemed like good examples but I have to imagine there are much more. So tell us. Adventuresome women, what should you not say to a pregnant lady?
