    ~~~MORE BACKGROUND~~~
    This virus and failing economy are scary.

    But I fear something else, too: We’re too connected right now.

    Much of the country is in various forms of shelter in place, confined to remote work or, sadly, out of work altogether.
    In turn, we’re spending more time online. Even on GoWild we've seen a 25% lift in time on the app. **THIS IS NOT GOOD.** We don’t need access to the 24 hour news cycle right now (or really, ever). Constant connectivity is contributes to stress, which is not only hurting your mental health, it’s compromising your immune system and overall physical wellbeing. All of this anxiety is making more hostile homes—domestic violence calls are surging nationwide amid the COVID-19 crisis.

    Let's come together to practice some #SocialMediaDistancing and get outside!

    I’m pumped!

  • Kevin's avatar

    This will be fun. Even though I have no partner to tag. A day of recouping today from travels, but an adventure awaits already for tomorrow #gowild

  • Barry's avatar

    @Brad Usually on Wednesday nights we have prayer meeting, but tonight a friend and I went fishing for 2 and a half hours. Beautiful night even if we only had a few bites! Great weather is coming to SC, so I take your challenge, for sure!

  • Todd's avatar

    Steelhead fishing Sunday. Tilled the garden and planted trees Monday. Tuesday worked on thinning my woods for fire suppression and firewood. Wednesday worked on a barn door for the wifes closet. Digging it. Anybody wanting outside to work I have plenty. I actually feel very fortunate for where I live. I feel for those cubical dwellers who have nothing but fake news and the internet for entertainment. @Gmail

  • Tony's avatar

    Not going turkey hunting because of weather but the youth season will be next weekend weather looks ok

    Not unless you live in the California Bay Area, they have closed most of the parking lots near the county parks and hiking trails. Although I do have plans to go to a private Horse Back Riding Lesson on Friday at a Ranch near by.

  • James's avatar

    Hands down my favorite mechanical broadhead. Has almost zero room for error so you know its going to open every time on impact. Devastating cutting diameter means thick frothy blood trails, and with these thick hatchett like blades you dont have to worry about it becoming a mangled piece of shrapnel after one shoot. Slap a new O ring on it and put it back in the quiver because there will still be plenty of tread on that tire. These ain't your dad's disposable broadheads.

  • Matthew's avatar

    @Katie oh absolutely. I’m working remotely now so anything I can to get outside for bit! I’m bad at social media though 😂

  • Katie's avatar

    @Matthew I’m in the same boat! Which is why I needed the accountability haha. Not for the activity, but for remembering to log it!

  • Zachary's avatar

    Let do this

  • Alan's avatar

    I'm outside for an hour a day almost every day.

  • Charlie's avatar

    Done

  • Joe's avatar

    I work outside, but some warmer weather would be great, I need hammock therapy.

  • Dave's avatar

    Thanks for the incentive

  • Dave's avatar

    @Dave got out and shot my old compound

  • Tom's avatar

    My son Zacc and daughter Emma will be participating with me! Emma is also starting hunter safety online next week. #Upsideisoutside!!

  • Logan's avatar
