Just over 115 GB of footage. Nearly 300 photos. And A.LOT. of ducks.
Y’all. It’s finally here.

bright side outdoors turns 4!
It’s strange – I feel like I’ve been writing the bright side of the road my entire life, yet somehow feel like I just started it. And 4 years have gone by since I published my first post? Madness!
So, in honor of this website’s birthday, here are the top 9 posts in its 4th year of existence. They’re in no particular order, but click the links below and reminisce with me!
Coloring Girl
Do you ever find yourself needing a way to get some creativity flowing? Or maybe you’re bored at home (or work!) and need something to occupy your mind? I’ve got just what you need!
I am super excited to have been asked to be the Featured Coloring Girl for October over at The WON, created by the crazy-talented Kimberly Kolb Eakin. Just wait until you see what she came up with.
trail cam tips with the WON
Happy deer season, friends! We’ve been open for a few weeks now in game zone 3, but just 5 days in zone 4, and I’ve already seen plenty of amazing photos from successful hunts around the interweb. Are you one of the lucky hunters to have bagged a buck in velvet this year? If so, I’m jealous! We’ve still got some time before the season opens on does and, since I bagged such a nice buck last year, I am definitely going to be more fastidious this season if another buck presents himself. But, that doesn’t mean I haven’t been paying attention to the woods juuuuust in case! In my latest article for Women’s Outdoor News, I go over some helpful tips on how you can get the most out of your trail cameras and have a successful deer season as a result!
paddle board fishing with the WON
Yes, the time has come – summer on the water! I’ve been fishing a fair amount this summer, and was super excited to get a new Jimmy Styks board at the end of June – just in time for a long Independence Day weekend in Georgetown. You might have seen on Instagram that I recently partnered with Women’s Outdoor News as one of their columnists – woohoo! I was previously on their Featured Blogger list (and was beyond delighted to be included), but now an actual columnist for them??
tideline magazine feature: traveling to hunt & fish
Recently I was lucky enough to be contacted by Ashley McGee, a freelance writer for the Post & Courier, about my outdoor travel experiences. Her story – to be published in Tideline Magazine, would focus on Lowcountry residents who travel outside of the state to hunt and/or fish, and I was thrilled to be a part of it!
radio interview with jim reynolds outdoors
Happy Tuesday, friends! I hope everyone had a delightful weekend.
I’m taking a quick break in the Patagonia posts to bring you something entirely new. A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to do an interview with Jim Reynolds, of Jim Reynolds Outdoors. He found Bright Side Outdoors through Women’s Outdoor News, and reached out to me to do an interview for his radio show. Pretty neat stuff, huh? Needless to say, I jumped at the opportunity!
happy birthday + a giveaway!
I can hardly believe it – Bright Side Outdoors officially turned 3 yesterday! The past year has been a busy one, for sure…
weekend recap: Big Sur part II
Ahh! I totally dropped the ball and missed getting this post out to you last week. Deepest apologies, friends. But! Now is the time – the second part of our Big Sur adventure. It’s a good one.
new website!
Friends! I am so so beyond excited to share with you…
