Our Story

I’ve always enjoyed being outdoors, even as a child.

My father was a career Air Force man, so I spent my childhood on military installations all over the country. I would spend a lot of time exploring the wooded trails and/or having fun wading through the creek on the bases.

While Dad was stationed in Alaska during my adolescence, I went on Boy Scout camping trips.

Once I reached adulthood, this enthusiasm persisted. However, it was time to serve my country, so I joined the Air Force.

Years later, my love of camping had not faded. My wife and I have always dreamed of owning a campground so that we can share the fun of camping with others. Needless to say, life and health issues got in the way.

In 2021, I wanted to launch a website solely for novice campers because I still wanted to share how much I love camping. I wanted to show people that camping doesn’t have to be difficult; rather, it can be simple, enjoyable, and, most importantly, memorable.

SlowDuck60 Reviews was born as a result of this. In doing so, I hope to give back to the outdoor community and encourage you—the reader—to spend more time outside, including those with disabilities.

In November  2023, I began a new journey as an amputee. Click here to read more about my #newbeginning.

On our website, you can read articles on how to go camping safely and with pleasure, as well as reviews of the best outdoor and survival gear.
