Hank Patterson's Outdoor Misadventures

It's Season Four! The season where we learn some junk. Some completely useless, some mostly useless and all pretty dang funny. We kick the season off with this... Mountain cats murdering Elk on front porches and a deep dive into the subject of drinking your urine to survive an emergency outdoor situation.  Enjoy! 

Surprise! Here's one last episode to end 2021 and Season three.  Hank shares his thoughts on holiday car/truck commercials, new years resolutions, new year planning and finding common ground. Happy New Beer! Merry Christmas! Happy Holidaze. ENJOY! 

Season three is coming to a close with Hank finally telling some stories about his 2021 trip to Alaska's Bristol Bay. Sit back, relax, have a beverage and enjoy this episode all about boy bands, Justin Timberlake, the seasons first snow, grizzly bears, grizzly bears and salmon. Enjoy! 

There are three funny moments in this weeks episode...  Good luck finding 'em! It's like a Holiday Easter Egg hunt!  During this train wreck, Hank and Alex talk fake Christmas trees, Nat Geo films, opportunistic wolves and getting off the grid. Enjoy! 

Here's a post Thanksgiving day episode all about my first ever Red Fish experience, advanced chum methods for those who don't want to bother learning how to fish, how to keep a secret spot a secret and much much more.  Enjoy! 

Hank and the crew are taking an undeserved couple of weeks off for some salt water fishing and Thanksgiving. Have a happy Thanksgiving! We'll be back with a full episode on Thursday December 2nd! Hambone! Gobble Gobble! Enjoy.

It's that time of year again where hardly anyone got their elk and practically everyone has an excuse why. On this episode we're talking bee attacks, steel wool, an awesome camping hack, tick tock, piranha and so much more. Enjoy! 

Here's an episode to listen to without the kids!  This week Hank and Kevin are discussing blood thirsty Alaskan Otter gangs, a rare flower blooms in Europe, defending the strawberry Pop Tart and how to properly plan for a Donner party camp trip. Enjoy!

This one has everything you'd ever want in a podcast - sharks, bears, smash mouth, fish pageants, food poisoning, dirt roads and some survival tips for those who are lost and refuse to admit to being lost. Turn off your brain and turn up the volume. Enjoy! 

Here's a super chill episode all about the super chill island vibes Hank immersed himself in while visiting the Hawaiian island of Kauai. It's a stress free episode all about being stress free. It's an episode about Hank's favorite things to do while in Kauai and all about the amazing and kind people who live and work there. It's also a crazy long rant of hilarity.  Shaka Brah! 

Hold on tight, Hank's about to launch into a rant about airline travel, the importance of being kind and the difference betwixt going on a vacation and going on an adventure.  Hambone! Snap It! Enjoy.

This week Kevin and Hank continue their quest to teach you absolutely nothing about absolutely nothing while talking about practically nothing. That nothing includes dirt road etiquette, hair dye advertising and a search party story fit for a feature film. Hambone! Enjoy! 

Aspiring to live in a van down by the river? Here are a few things to consider when designing your conversion van according to a couple half wits (Hank & Kevin) who know absolutely nothing about it. As always, this one promises very little educational value! We promise. Hambone! FlapJacks! Enjoy. 

This week Hank is joined by his buddy Jake to talk all about a sneezing issue, the many excuses for not catching fish and superstitions. Hambone! Enjoy.

With Hank out fishing and likely not catching and Kevin home sick with a blanket and a shot glass of Nyquil, we've decided to take the week off and share one of our favorite episodes from way back in good ol'. 2020.  If you enjoyed it before, you're sure to enjoy it again.  Fire up the essential oils, here we go!  

The intelligence of the common trout, the intelligence of the common fly fisher, living in hobbit holes, the benefits and drawbacks of walnuts and much more nonsense make up this weeks episode. Pop a beverage and enjoy! 

The name says it all! Here's an episode all about bat guano, ghost hunters, terrible restaurants, the Indiana serial pooper and the origins of cooking. Enjoy! 

Here's an episode all about cows attacking beach combers, sun bathing at dairy farms, the health benefits of not doing a Triathalon, befriending chimpanzees and all the things you forgot to remember to take camping.... Enjoy! 

Hank's back from Alaska, sleep deprived and ready to drone on and on about the beauty of being off the grid and out of your comfort zone. But before all that, a little bit of information and likely misinformation about the history of Alaska becoming a state. Don't take notes, it's likely all wrong. Hambone! Enjoy! 

It all begins with some super sweet whistling. You're welcome. From there we're onto motivational meme's, the Olympics, swimming and a whole new way to up your fireside cooking game! Hank in there everyone! Enjoy!
