The Yankee Camper

Welcome to my Video Magazine of outdoor adventures, local history, and budget-friendly camping throughout New England.

As a 10th-generation Yankee, I've spent a lifetime camping, fishing, and cooking outdoors. I'll share the campsites, hidden gems, scenic destinations, and historical stories that make this corner of America special. I believe in using gear that works, and if "it's still good," I'm probably still using it.

You'll also find recipes from my upcoming book, Making a Mess. These camp meals are designed for a standard mess kit, serve one person, require no refrigeration, and leave no leftovers—perfect for solo camping.

Join me as I explore Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Cape Cod, the Berkshires, Lake Champlain, and the White and Green Mountains. Along the way, we'll discover great places, practical outdoor skills, and plenty of interesting facts.  Plus some shorts just for fun!

I look forward to sharing the adventure with you!
