Passion for the outdoors isn’t something that the members of TeamWON save just for Valentine’s Day. In fact, this love motivates all of us every day to get out and enjoy the activities we cherish, and then create content around those experiences. Our posts run the gamut of topics – from Shane Koo writing about sharing her love of rock climbing with her daughter to Angie Perry bringing us along on her first ever duck hunt in Arkansas.
And we’ve covered just about everything in between. In 2023 there will be much more to come – because that’s the wonderful thing about passion, isn’t it? The more heart and soul you put into it, the more you get out of it. Whether its in the relationship with your partner or spouse, with yourself or with mother nature. There’s always a new adventure waiting for us – if we dare to find it.
