Background

About Greg Stephens

We are the Stephens family, and I am Greg Stephens - the One-Eyed Hillbilly (@Hillblly). As a family, we are the product of freedom loving, fiercely independent, and proudly self-sufficient southern Missouri hill folk (now transplanted to Alaska). Through the guidance of our parents, extended family and friends, we were all raised in the Great Outdoors. In the Ozarks, I personally grew up fishing for blue-gill, small-mouth, and trout in the creeks, rivers, and lakes. Hunting the woods and fields, I pursued turkeys, deer, quail, rabbits, and squirrels. Under the crisp, cold Ozark's winter full moon I grew up listening to the hounds chasing raccoons up and down the hollers and ridges. As a young man I began trapping as well as hunting and fishing the western Rocky Mountains and Alaska. My wife, LaDonna and I have raised our four boys to do the same. Today we find our peace in this world by gently reminding modern society that prior to corporations, government or society in general, there was a perfect and fair system in place for humans to live. And today, no matter how hard we try, just like a millennium ago, we are intimately interwoven into the Creator's fabric of life in Mother Nature. The stories and videos that we create about real-life outdoor experiences reflect the great pride our family takes in participating within the fabric as designed by Mother Nature, as opposed to idly watching from the concrete paved sidelines. I hope our readers are encouraged to do the same.
