Speaker 1 (00:30):
Welcome to Trail Blazer Headlines Sunday rap up, where we
take a step back, look at the full picture, and
bring you everything that matters this week in the campaign
RB an outdoor world across.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
The United States.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
I'm your host, Dennisdas, and whether you are listening from
the road, the campground, the job site, or right by
the frail place at home.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
You are in the right place.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
This show is built for entrepreneurs, adventurers, the business owners,
campground operators, our beers, and families who live for the
outdoors and want news they can actually use. Welcome Adventurers.

(01:23):
Let's kick things off with the biggest camping and our
be headlines from this past week. Increased campground bookings in
southern and Western states, our b travel continuing to shift
towards shorter experience based trips, national parks adjusting seasonal assets

(01:46):
and capacity planning campgrounds investing in more year round amenities.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Ain't that great?

Speaker 1 (01:54):
That's great news for you guys to like to go
camping year round. The big takeaway this week the outdoor
industreet is stabilizing, and people aren't just slowing down.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
They're just traveling. A last matter.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
Now, let's the good look at the weather, because weather
desires everything in this lifestyle. For the West coast cooler, nice,
strong camping conditions inland in the southwest dry clear ideal
from boom duck. In weather in the Midwest, miss systems.

(02:41):
Plan for wind and temperatures swinking like you know what.
In the Northeast, cooler, nice, prime shoulder season. Camping in
the southeast mount hemp's popular for them.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Snowbirds. Snow birds. How you guys making out over.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
There, it's looking really good for you guys. A pro
tip for the week ahead. Pack layers, guys, pack layers, Okay,
make sure you guys packed some layers. Check win advisories.
Everybody heading over especially like chi Jan and everywhere else.
Always check you win advisories. And never whatever you guys do, man,

(03:25):
never on the estimate. There is nighttime temperatures, man, because
I tell you what that nighttime temperature. Oh, you get cold.
So it's a lot better to be prepared. It's like insurance, man.
So you need you ready know our beers you need
cold with the gear you're also gonna need even if

(03:45):
you down't in Florida or out there in Texas and
so on. You want to pack some layers and make
sure that you got that cold gear on and for
also for emergency situations. You never know, right what heck
I remember not so long ago was the last year
of the year before that, even Texas was getting snow

(04:06):
and ice. Oh man, they deal that was. So be proactive.
Make sure that you plan everything go for you and
your family. Then when advisories you see on the highways too,
pay attention to that. It's really not a request. They're
trying to save you, your family and your RB. Trust me,
it's as truck drivers, we have a hard time with

(04:29):
the winds out there and mind jib I mean, and
it doesn't matter if you got a trailer that costs
you five thousand dollars or a pre bust that is
five million dollars.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
I tell you what.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
The wind will make it go wee real fast. So
just be careful there, guys. We will love seeing you
guys having fun and creating new memories.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
So let's keep doing that, shall we.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
One thing adventures that we're seeing more and more is
campgrounds and outdoor businesses doubling down on community, not just
overnight stays, campfires, group paces experiences a lot more than
just luxury upgrades, families looking for connection, not just Wi Fi.

(05:32):
Small outdoor businesses collaborating instead of competing against one another.
Like that's one of the things that I love about
camping and are being being in the outdoors.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
Like everybody works to get there.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
The campfire is still king and that is actually very cool.
So what you guys do on the campfire? By the way,
do you guys do s'mores? Or how do you guys
kick it? Oh, and give yourself a dollar oven? Put
it in the campfire man. You can make there. You
can do chilly there. I'm telling you the cast iron

(06:09):
dodge oven. It's like fifty bucks or so. But man,
it's worth day, trust me, it's worth dare. And the
campfire man is still king it always has been.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
Before we wrap up, let's talk about something.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
Every camper a beer and hormone and on the stands firewood, man.
You need that firewood. At Testy Company Adventures, we offer
five dollars firewood bundles. And I tell you what the
five dollar bundles. Actually, it's all hard wood. You're not
gonna find pine there because pine is only so it

(07:01):
burns really fast.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
But when you use oak when you use.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
Maple and with cherry or any wood like that that
is considered how wood, it's gonna burn a lot harder
and it's gonna last you a lot longer. So a
fi dollar bundle. Actually it's not like those that you
see at the gas stations. When you get like full pieces,
they're trying to sell it for ten even twenty dollars.

(07:27):
I'm like, what is this now? All five dollar bundles
are really good bundles. That's why people buying over here
all the time. And we are the desic Company of
Venture Headquarters. And then fight dollar bundles. Man the perfect
the perfect for campfire, backyard pest fire pest. I do
that in the back and the capito they in the back?

(07:52):
Or does a company of answers the headquarters? Okay, fire
pet right there? I burn wood the wood that I sell.
You know, I burned it there, so I know you're
getting some really good stuff. Also, it's goal, see is
a man? So fireplaces the or wood is safe to
be burnt outside and also inside. And now over here

(08:14):
in Waterbury, Connecticut, that's what we're saying. Everybody is burning
inside at the fireplaces. I mean, and man, you got
your fireplace right, and you got Christmas tree probably close,
but not that close, you know, fire pall. But the
thing is that you got the presence and everything looking
nice and the fire going, and you get that smell

(08:38):
from good wood, not that crazy stuff when you need
somewoe smell rotten if not taken care of correctly, or
the chemicals in there too, So that's not gonna work
out that you can tell by the smell.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
So the fact of the matter is, I'll smell so good.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
It's beautiful, and I tell you what it works far
and outdoor gathering is to even on the code. I
was actually having a birthday party by a friend of
mine as a matter of fact, was having a birthday
party outside and the ware making a fire and so on.
And you know about the world from us man like

(09:18):
everybody does, and trust us because of that. But also
there's something that I also want to bring to you
guys that is just as important too. And he's the
part of the entrepreneurship here, So turn it off some look.
Local businesses can partner and homeowners to can partner with

(09:41):
us and earn twenty percent commission by carrying and promoting
firewood bundles. So what happens is they company adventures. It's
gonna put if you guys give mission, of course, we're
gonna put an air food rack and with gonna bring

(10:01):
you guys the firewood, the boundles. We're gonna take care
absolutely every time we do the marketing, the branded the
whole nine jars and there the customers are gonna go in.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
There's a cash box. Also they can play online.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
There's like cash up, seal it, what's the other one
bamo as well, so they got choices on how they want.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
To pay for the boundles.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
Right then what we do is and they well there's
a cash light there that is lacked, and then nine jars.
So we come in, we come out, we restock it
with take care of the area, even if it's nose.
We make sure that the perimeters honeine jars is at
all the snow we shovel that part two because we

(10:43):
want the customers to have a really good experience and
be able to get to the wood. Because one thing
that I noticed this is that people trust us with
the wood. And that's what's gonna happen to you guys
as well. If you were to partner with the company adventures,
they're gonna know that what is really good and nowadays
coming Let's just be honest, you're really not getting anything

(11:04):
for five dollars, no more right, I think you can
even get a value meal nowadays for five dollars a
happy meal. I don't even how about happy meals. There's
still less than five dollars. I wouldn't even think so.
But the fact of the matter is that so we
do all that, so you don't need to worry about anything.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
Everything's done for you.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
And you also get twenty percent of commission twenty percent
of every single cell as well.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
It's a simple.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
Product, A real demand jeered around two in the summer time.
They like it for the when they go camping and
backfire and parties and so on, but also is they
also needed when it's cold outside fireplaces. I didn't even
know how many people actually use wood fire would as

(12:00):
they're heating source.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
I am surprised on how many people do that.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
And a lot of the customers are repeated on customers
once people got worried. When I first started, yeah, I
put a couple of bondles there, this and that and
that was said. But once they got word that they
would is really good. I got people that come in
and they want to buy one hundred two hundred dollars
at a time. Every day they'll come in, Hey, I

(12:28):
needed one hundred dollars worth of firewood for wood bundles.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
Boom boom. There you go, brother, And that's exactly what
it is. And I'll tell you right now.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
Let's say that you get customers, and I want you
to get these customers. You know, between us, it's a partnership.
It's not a competition. That's how we designed. That's a
company of ventures. It's not meant to be a competition
with you. We want to grow together. That's a good thing,
growing together and building something great. That's the whole point
of it. Why will you do it? To go and

(12:58):
get somebody you know you can. There's no shortage to success, guys,
they're really not. So therefore, will help you out with
take care of everything. If you get customers, that's one
hundred two hundred, five hundred dollars worth. The answer that
you can give them is just give me the content
information and even if you got work there, what we're

(13:21):
gonna do is as long as it's in Connecticut, guys,
so right now I'm taking care of Connecticut. By the way,
they if I will, rack is in Threetyse's Parkway Quarterbaray, Connecticut.
If you guys want to start by by all means,
but also in Connecticut.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
I put the rack in there.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
You give me the customers information and I will personally
deliver the boundles to their house or wherever they needed.
So in your end you can have the confidence that
just absolutely what's your alresk, by what time you on
it there? What I do is I call them up,

(14:02):
get the count information. I call them up, and I
set it up. And although you're not the one out
there wrapping boundles up and driving and wasting fuel, not
wasting but you know, using your fuel and so on,
although it is done for you, you have to worry
about nothing, and you still get that commission and yeah,

(14:23):
five dollars in there. It's not gonna add up really fast.
You're not gonna get reresh at all. Yet you know
it is time. But we're not doing this to get
rich out of it. We're doing to help people. I
want to expand and be able to home ow people.
And by helping each other, that's how we succeed and

(14:46):
not to mensure that a lot of people actually do
use firewood as a hitting source, you know. So, yeah,
so it's up to you. If you own your home,
if you got a business, let's do business together. Let's
do this, and you still if somebody does big orders,
you still get into commission, even if I deal with

(15:08):
that person directly.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
Let's say that they call you are.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
For example, let's say you got customary Joe and customer
Joe you got to come to information boom.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
Let's say that customer Joe decides me to call me correctly.

Speaker 1 (15:25):
Because everything goes, I kick track of everything, and you
also get a full report as well.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
I keep everything Crystal Creer career because.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
I want you guys, and I want us to build
a great relationship together. The only way you're going to
be able to do that is with charity and honesty,
you know.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
So therefore I go ahead.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
Let's say that Joe calls me up directly and say, hey,
can I have two hundred and three hundred, one hundred
dollars of firewood?

Speaker 2 (15:56):
And so on?

Speaker 1 (15:57):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (15:58):
Absolutely, what's your first what you are? Blah blah?

Speaker 1 (16:01):
Okay, great, and look at the records and it would
show that you were that person that refer them.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
Guess why.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
He might have contacted me directly, But he's in the
system that's going under you. And this is no pyramid scheme.
This is real stuff. It cannot sound like it, but
it's really not. This is the real stuff. And so therefore,
whether he contacted you or anything, I can see on
the records that you are and he is your customer,

(16:34):
you still get that twenty percent, no matter what, no
matter what.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
All right, So I'm telling you that it works great.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
I love the system, and some people are already starting
to do it and they love it. And one of
the things that they like is that the customers give
them feedback of the wood. Like when a customer really
likes something, they're not even going to hide it. Man,
They'll be like, oh no, no, you gotta get your
will from this person. Man, just go there, trust me.

(17:03):
And then when you made the customer look good not bad.
Oh man, man, it's like it's unbelievable. This is supposed
to be a real small fire wood add and so on.
But I made the stuff. I made the system. It's
really that's one of the privileges. So being a COO
or the company. I get to play around and see

(17:25):
how everything works. I run the operations and it's not
to brag, but I got pride on what I'm putting
out there and to see people grow come and now
that's like the best thing ever.
