United States Marine Corps veteran and Country Music Star, Scooter Brown

Back to the Lodge

12/15/20 • 55 min

With his profound passion for music and songwriting, Scooter Brown traded his guns for guitars. Making it out alive from the invasion of Iraq in 2003, Scott made a promise to be the best man he could possibly be and live up with that promise for the people who don’t get to anymore. Dedicated in serving the country, Scott consistently gives back in the veteran community through his music and his foundation- Base Camp 40, Warrior's In The Wild.

Today’s episode of Back To The Lodge Podcast, Scooter Brown joins the rest of the pack for another heartwarming and musically inspired conversation. Scott will tell the stories behind his journey from the US Marine Corp to the Grand Ole Opry. Learning a lot from his experiences in the past, Scott did not miss offering advice to our very own Nick Conder in the world of music.

Scooter Brown is the lead vocalist and guitarist of Scooter Brown Band and the major voice behind Base Camp 40, a foundation that deeply appreciates the sacrifices made by brave men and women in the military. They take veterans on outdoor adventures throughout the country and provide a special place to rediscover and reflect.

Enjoy!

“So there was this metal star hanging on the building like it was decorative. I'm like, ‘this thing's really sharp’. So I throw it like a Chinese star at the front of the building and it sticks right in the wood. And Matt says, 'Oh I got to do this, I got to do this!' We're like little kids. We found something that could hurt somebody. We must play with it!”

Favorite Quotes

"Ever since COVID started, there've been a lot of things going on in this country. There've been groups and people who have been going above and beyond to help others when they themselves are really hurting." - Patrick Mudge

"After hurricane Ida, we knew a gentleman that had lost nearly everything, his livelihood, and his well-being. Insurance didn't cover it. But instead of cleaning up the situation he was in, he jumped in with someone else and they fed 40,000 people." - Patrick Mudge

“As of this January, we will have completed our 14th year in business and after 13,000 airplane tickets delivered, I can tell you that there isn't a single one that wasn't incredibly meaningful to somebody. Some of the stories, we lived through them as we were providing the flights. Our team does that every day, they live through these stories. Every story matters. Every reunion matters." - Fletcher Gill, Luke's Wings

"There's a lot of those cases where the person finds out that their family's coming and they find the strength to hold on." - Fletcher Gill, Luke's Wings

"I'm so lucky to hear about stories and be a part of them. Every story matters. Every flight matters. Every dollar we receive matters." - Fletcher Gill, Luke's Wings

Will with No Wine

Back to the Lodge

04/09/21 • 68 min

The COVID19-Pandemic brought everyone closer yet further at the same time. People who have no communication with their families have reconnected while their connection outside is barely sustained through the internet. With the vaccines rolling out and multiple states started to open entertainment spots to the public, recreational activity is something every family should get themselves into.

Reconnect with nature, breathe fresh air, listen to the birds sing, and see the sun rises at the horizon for a new beginning of life. However, it does not mean existing rules are lax either.

In today’s episode of Back To The Lodge Podcast, our hosts will have a fun-filled talk of competitions, wine preferences, animal welfare, and the benefits of recreational activities to reinforce your family connections and reconnect yourself with nature. With people staying indoors for months and doing the same thing over and over, something that would spice lives and move bodies become desirable and a must.

Enjoy!

Favorite Quotes

“As long as there’s something that people would not be under the rain, we can feed them no matter what—even if we have to cook the food ourselves.” –Patrick

“Every time we argue, we should just take it to a competition.” –Will

“Fishing is fun for the whole family. Get out, pack a little lunch, have a picnic, and go outside. It just gets you into it.” –Patrick

“Each state has different laws when it comes to fishing. Make sure everybody has their fishing license and do the right way.” –Patrick

“When I was a kid, we used to go to a place called ‘Fun City.’ You could have fun, but the ambiance was quiet.” –Will

“The old-timers (hunters) contribute to the rapid population decline of the coyotes.” –Matthew

“I only have a single video copy where I saw a quail walked underneath me—I have never seen another quail ever since.” –Matthew

“Rescuers tried to do everything as humanely as possible and relocate. The problem is, you are just giving somebody else your problem when you relocate the animals. If they are relocated to a place with low anime density, they will end up being domestic animals.” –Will

“Coyote hunting is not like deer hunting. We live in a rural area where they can come and go into these towns. It becomes a safety issue now for the kids and people in general.” –Will

“People don’t understand that a wild animal is a wild animal. When you see a couple of coyote pups in one area, they are obviously not there by accident but for a reason.” –Will

“You don’t have to go out and spend a thousand dollars to fish or even do any activities.”—Will

“Even if you don’t want to fish, you can sit beside a body of water, get your children geared up, let them have the time of their lives, while entertaining yourself—all for just twenty dollars.” –Will

“You can watch TV or even use Google if you want to see something. You don’t need to visit the Seven Wonders of The World just to have a good memory.” –Will

“Some people fish at night while others during the day. I have not fished all this year—I am itching and dying to get out.” –Patrick
