In the mountains of West Virginia, chaos is never far away—especially when the Beechy Hollow Great Outdoors Club gets involved. Join small-town reporter Rob Greenwood and a cast of offbeat characters as they prove that the best outdoor adventures are the ones that fall completely off the rails. From camping and fishing trips gone sideways to eerie trailside encounters, these stories celebrate friendship, mischief, and the untamed spirit of Appalachia. Includes the novella, "The Evil Psychic Mule of Devil Ridge," because no backwoods saga is complete without a demon mule on the loose.

Dalton’s launching Trout & Trails Weekend to lure summer tourists: guided fishing mornings, scenic hikes, and a local-food cookout fundraiser. All Elliot Ward has to do is run the itinerary, keep the group on schedule, and prevent the town’s loudest regulars from turning “organized adventure” into chaos. Easy. Except Dalton hired Declan Barton. Declan is a charming fly-fishing guide and outdoor instructor who treats checklists like gentle suggestions—until safety’s on the line. Elliot, a meticulous trip planner with color-coded binders and a deep allergy to surprises, is ...

Wilder Brooks came prepared for everything. Almost everything. He packed the right boots, the backup socks, the labeled supplies, and enough trail gear to survive a weekend in the woods with strangers. What he did not prepare for was Beckett Bourne: charming, underprepared, allergic to directions, and entirely too good at making Wilder forget his own rules. Beckett only signed up for Adventure Reset Weekend because he lost a bet. He expected hiking, awkward icebreakers, and maybe a blister or two. He did not expect Wilder, a man with labeled bins, emergency supplies, and the most ...

If you have already read Hunting With Beanpole, then you and Beanpole have met. If not, I'll introduce you to him.

Riley Sloane likes control. As a key grip on a location shoot in Dalton, he trusts clean setups, clear plans, and his own ability to keep everything from falling apart. What he does not trust is unasked-for input from a local outdoor guide who walks onto his set, calmly questions his decisions, and somehow keeps being right. Jay Kirby knows this land better than any call sheet ever could. He is steady, practical, and completely unimpressed by Riley’s sharp edges. When weather shifts, gear fails, and a river shoot turns unpredictable, Jay becomes the one variable Riley cannot ignore—and ...

Owen Briggs had a perfect plan for Dalton Survival Weekend. Unfortunately, the wilderness did not receive the itinerary. As a corporate retreat planner, Owen knows how to manage expectations, shape outcomes, and make every experience feel intentional. What he does not know is how to admit that his outdoor expertise may have been slightly exaggerated. Marcus Hale notices immediately. A former scout and part-time camp medic, Marcus is calm, competent, and far too good at seeing what Owen is trying to hide. When tent setup runs long, fire-starting goes wrong, maps lead people into mud, and ...

Miles Avery has a spreadsheet for everything—town budgets, emergency supplies, and the exact number of ways Dalton can turn a “fun weekend” into a liability. So when Dalton announces Whitewater for a Cause—a summer rafting fundraiser paired with a trendy riverside wellness retreat—Miles does what he always does in a crisis: opens a new tab and tries not to scream. The only problem? Miles isn’t just organizing. He’s co-leading the chaos. Enter Rowan “Ro” Delgado: a soft-spoken wilderness medic with steady hands, sharp instincts, and a calm that makes Miles’s nervous ...

Storytelling has long been a staple of the outdoor literature, though in recent years these stories seem fewer and harder to find. Some of these accounts were tales of peril, while others were relatable bits of comedy about the missteps we all make in the outdoors. In the spirit of keeping that tradition alive, Jim Mize has followed up with his own tales of misadventure and mirth, bringing us characters like Beanpole and Grumpy. If these tales have a touch of credibility, it’s because many of these events happened to Jim or people he knew. But he prefers to share them through his ...

My whole life, my mother told me I would never find love. So when my university’s hot, rich, starting quarterback asked me to marry him, this girl said yes. We had only been dating for two weeks. By the third week, he had shattered my heart. Maybe I shouldn’t have made a big deal about bringing him to the next family get-together. Luckily, there was one person who could always fix things when a guy left me in pieces: my best friend, Titus. He was my rock. That’s why I asked him to come home with me to pretend to be my fiancé.

Luca Santos came to Dalton Survival Weekend with a camera, a content plan, and absolute confidence that getting lost would make great footage. Evan Mercer wants no part of it. As a local guide, Evan values competence, quiet, and people who pay attention to what is actually in front of them. The last thing he needs is a relentlessly cheerful influencer turning survival training into a personal brand exercise.
