Guns & outdoors

Squirrel hunting is fun.
Hunting with Squirrel is a blast.

Guns, fishing, the woods and the water — and the odd knife made from scratch. The outdoors half of Guys in the Garage.

Who is Squirrel

Greg loves his God, his family, his guns and the outdoors.

Most of the time in that order.

He is a good friend of mine, and he knows the things I do not. I would rather be ripping around the outdoors on something with wheels and a loud exhaust — but to get somebody to try a thing, somebody has to be genuinely passionate about it. That is where Squirrel comes in.

So this corner is his. Same idea as the rest of the site: get off the couch, learn something with your hands, and take somebody with you.

To inspire others to try something, you have to be passionate about it yourself.

Why this page exists

What he covers

The outdoors, honestly

No gear-review theatre and no pretending everything worked first time. The same rule as the garage: what you did, what it cost, and what you would do differently.

Guns

Shooting and safe handling

What to buy first, how to look after it, and how to take somebody shooting for the first time without putting them off for life.

Field & water

Hunting and fishing

Where to start when nobody in your family hunts, what actually goes in the bag, and the days that come back empty.

Made by hand

Blades and kit

Forge work, knife making, and the gear you can repair or build yourself instead of replacing.

In his own words

Squirrel’s Armory

Squirrel hunting is fun, hunting with Squirrel is a blast.

I love the outdoors, guns, fishing and the like, but at the end of the day I’d rather be ripping around it on something with wheels and a loud exhaust. To inspire others to try something you need to be passionate about it and thats where Squirrel comes in.

Greg is a good friend of mine who loves his God, his family, his guns and the outdoors, most of the time in that order. He will be sharing his knowledge and passion for all those things with you here. I’ll let him take over and tell you all about who he is and what he aims to share.

Thanks,

Josh
