CamoSpace Geared to Unite Hunters, Fishermen in Online Setting

Rhodesdale, Maryland March 24, 2008 – Sporting enthusiasts across the globe now have an online spot to share their love of hunting, fishing and all things outdoors — thanks to a new social networking site developed just for them. CamoSpace, launched last summer by Eastern Shore native Denny Reid, is similar in structure to other popular social networking sites, and geared for those that love the outdoor lifestyle.

CamoSpace, named for the popular camouflage donned by many hunters and sportsmen, is meant to appeal to anyone interested in the great outdoors. Built by sportsmen for sportsmen, members share pictures, stories and videos while communicating with fellow outdoorsmen from all over the country. Users can ask questions, share tips, or just have a friendly chat either with individual users or groups – all without having any fees associated with membership.

“CamoSpace really focuses on the country lifestyle of hunting, fishing, anything outdoors,” said Reid. “We wanted a quick simple name everybody could remember. If you look around, you see that a ton of people wear camo. It really represents the outdoor lifestyle.”

For Reid, a University of Maryland graduate and avid outdoorsmen himself, the development of CamoSpace was an ideal way to meet the needs of a community close to his own heart.

“Since I was a kid, if I wasn’t working, I was looking forward to hunting season – it has been such a passion all my life,” says the lifelong farmer. “When someone kills a deer or catches a fish, they usually take a picture. It occurred to me there needs to be a place to post pictures or videos of their hunts.”

The CamoSpace team, composed of Reid and his wife April along with longtime friends Brandee Diggs and Jim Coulbourne, came up with the concept, domain name and interface and worked diligently to get the site ready for its launch last August. Located at CamoSpace.com, the niche social networking site features an easy-to-customize interface where users of all ages can interact with other users from throughout the world via standard and instant messaging, blogs and chat rooms. Users can post photos, upload videos and have the opportunity to enter deer cam contests put on by CamoSpace. Visitors can also find countless sporting resources, including vendor links, product reviews, classifieds and online games

Getting the site ready for its August launch was a labor of love to be sure, but the team’s hard work and grassroots effort to get the word out, which has included promoting it at sportsmen’s shows along the East Coast has proved to the team very quickly that they are onto something special.

“The response has been tremendous,” said Reid. “”Eighty-five percent of people who joined since day one come back and check out the site everyday.”

CamoSpace currently has 5,600 members and is growing daily, generating more than 200,000 ad impressions a day through its advertising banners. It boasts members in every U.S. state and has an international presence with members in several countries – momentum Reid expects to continue to generate buzz in the sporting community as faithful members recruit their own friends and fellow hunters to the site.

“It’s just a matter of them finding out about us. Once they find out about us, they’re hooked,” he said. “Where else can you enjoy yourself so much without having to shell out one penny?”

In addition to providing a free service to members, Reid and the CamoSpace crew are also committed to ensuring the site is a safe place for their younger members, too.

“We want to have a place where kids can safely use the Internet,” said Reid, a father of four. “It is a family-friendly site that is monitored to keep it that way.”

The CamoSpace team is excited about the prospects for the site as it continues to grow in popularity.

“The sky’s the limit,” said Reid. “If you go hunting and fishing, and you get on the Internet - you’ll want to be a part of CamoSpace.

For more information on CamoSpace, to register for the site or if you are an outdoor vendor who would like to advertise your product on the site, please visit www.camospace.com or contact Jim Coulbourne. at business@camospace.com.

After a standing room only premiere of “The One” at The Bethel Inn this February, the film is now available on DVD. Sun Valley Sports in Bethel, Aardvark Outfitters in Farmington and the Maine Guide Fly Shop in Greenville are all retailing “The One”. It is available for sale on line by following this link.

Raised in the western mountains of Maine on the banks of the Androscoggin River and the village of Bethel, Carter Davidson is an avid fly fisherman, a producer of outdoor adventure television programs, documentaries and most recently executive producer of Gray Ghost Productions fly fishing film titled “The One.” Beginning in 2000, Carter first got his start with Maine PBS, producing and editing a long list of Emmy nominated magazine series and documentaries. Later, he traveled across the globe to locations such as New Zealand, France, Argentina, Chile, and British Columbia to film all sorts of outdoor adventures from extreme skiing, whitewater rafting and kayaking, skydiving, mountain biking and of course fly fishing. In 2007 Carter founded the video production company Gray Ghost Productions and began his search to film and capture the essence of fly fishing.

“Follow the dream team of Gray Ghost Production’s first adventure as they travel through New England, Patagonia and British Colombia in search of The One. Come explore the untouched terrain of Argentina with Michael Jones. Or hop in the jet boat for a wild ride hunting for steelheads.

Take a look back in time to rediscover the Rangeley lakes region and the famous trout flies originated in this area. Tag along with Luke Gray and Charlie Davidson as they hear the scream of the reel on some of New England’s large and small tributaries. Join these fly fishing junkies and their quest for, The One.”

Milt Inman forwarded this email on to me and I was curious if anyone has ever actually tried this.

I was at a deck party awhile back, and the bugs were having a ball biting everyone. A man at the party sprayed the lawn and deck floor with Listerine, and the little demons disappeared. The next year I filled a 4-ounce spray bottle and used it around my seat whenever I saw mosquitoes. And voila! That worked as well. It worked at a picnic where we sprayed the area around the food table, the children’s swing area, and the standing water nearby. ——————

OUR FRIEND’S COMMENTS:
I tried this on my deck and around all of my doors.
It works - in fact, it killed them instantly. I bought my bottle from Target and it cost me $1.89.
It really doesn’t take much, and it is a big bottle, too; so it is not as expensive to use as the can of spray you buy that doesn’t last 30 minutes.

So, try this, please. It will last a couple of days. Don’t spray directly on a wood door (like your front door), but spray around the frame. Spray around the window frames, and even inside the dog house.

Are you looking to get a different perspective on wolves other than the Disney version or one that is perpetuated by the mainstream media? Now is your chance. Western Institute for the Study of the Environment says:

There is brand new documentary film about the plight of Americans beset by government-dumped wolves, Undue Burden. It tells the story of regular, law-abiding citizens powerless to halt government-protected wolves from killing their livestock and pets, stalking their children, and destroying the livability of their communities and private properties.

Undue Burden is a shocking, gritty, graphic, and real. Not a Hollywood production, Undue Burden is short on glitter, long on honesty. The folks interviewed are just like you and me, shy in front of the camera, but they convey a story of oppression and hurt that is medieval and absolutely unconscionable in our modern society.

Chris Cobbett, a contributing writer for U.S. Hunting Today and Skinny Moose Media and his partner Nate Fenderson of Northwoods Outdoors, are very pleased to find their cable television program, Northwoods Adventures TV, ranked among the top 50 outdoor programs.

Chris, a full-time teacher in the Oxford Hills region of Maine, and Nate, a Quality supervisor for Georgia Pacific, travel all across the country on hunting and outdoor adventures. They film what they do and put together quality programming that airs on many cable television networks across North America.

This past fall, Chris and Nate volunteered their time to work with Aubrey Olson in helping to grant her a “Hunt of a Lifetime” in bagging a Maine bull moose. You can read that story and watch video here.

Skinny Moose Media contacted Chris at his home in Norway, Maine and asked him if this was a goal of his and Nate’s from the beginning. This was his comment:

” As Nate and I look back at the past 5 years and reflect on the growth of the show, we are filled with pride. Very few people gave us a snowball’s chance. After all, look at the concept. Two rednecks from yahoo Maine trying to produce a show for a national audience. When we started we knew nothing about the cameras, editing, or marketing. I would not have wanted the Vegas odds on our little show surviving the first year.

Somehow we have made a go of it. We attribute our success to two factors. One, a strong viewer base that likes to see working class people in the outdoors. And secondly, the support of other media helping draw viewers to the show. We are thankful to all the outdoors writers , web support, and Skinny Moose Media for all the help along the way.

In the future we look to expand the show to include our families more . Our goal is to showcase the camaraderie and excitement of the outdoor sports.”

The program ranking was done by Back Channel Media out of Boston.

Backchannelmedia Research is the only free web-based media search engine and is also one of the largest dynamically generated TV listings databases ever created, with over 255,000,000 web pages and growing.

Northwoods Adventures TV is now ranked among some of the very best of outdoor programming in America.

With over 40,000 Northwoods Sporting Journal readers throughout the Northeast, with subscribers in all 50 states, John Ward, National Sales Manager of Northwoods Publications, LLC. and co-host of the new Northwoods Sporting Journal Television, thought it would be a terrific idea to gift our tried and true bloggers with a one-year subscription to their magazine.

This is a great opportunity for everyone as the result of a cooperative business spirit between Northwoods Publications, LLC and Skinny Moose Media, LLC. I spoke with my son Steve Remington, President of Skinny Moose Media, LLC., this morning about this and asked him if either he or John Ward perceived each other as direct competitors in the outdoor media business.

“I can’t really speak for John but I don’t see it that way at all. I assume John doesn’t either otherwise I can’t imagine he would make such a generous offer. As far as Skinny Moose Media is concerned, our objective is to reach as many people as we can to strengthen the industry. It’s what’s best for the consumer and that has to pay dividends for both of us. If it involves working closely with other media and related businesses, I think it’s great.”

I communicated with John Ward a few minutes ago and asked him to make a comment on how he perceives an expanded working relationship with Skinny Moose Media.

In this day and age where more and more outdoorsmen rely on the Internet for their communication and information needs, the partnership the Northwoods Sporting Journal has formed with Skinny Moose media and U.S. Hunting Today brings us another step closer to being the complete resource hunters have expected of us for years. Steve Remington and his crew work tirelessly to unite hunters, not only in Maine, but across the country. With the essential need for united grassroots efforts among the sporting community, it is companies like Skinny Moose Media, LLC. that help us to reach out using all of today’s communicative capabilities. Five stars and a dip of the hat to Skinny Moose Media.

Northwoods Sporting Journal, in addition to its regular subscribers, makes their magazine available in over 1,500 stores throughout Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and Eastern New York. With subscribers in all 50 states and Canada, NWSJ is looking to expand its readership. The NWSJ is also handed out to thousands of readers at dozens of outdoor and sporting shows throughout the Northeast.

With NWSJ’s 40,000 plus readership and Skinny Moose Media’s network-wide visits approaching a half a million monthly, Steve and John hope to be able to drive traffic in both directions strengthening the industry and just as importantly providing outdoor sportsmen with a greater base of valuable resources.

NWSJ’s generosity will put their information and article-filled magazine in the hands of all Skinny Moose Media bloggers who have been at if for at least one year. In return, SMM will strategically place advertisements at selected websites deemed to be appropriate by both parties.

“We were discussing the other day how we could find ways of motivating our bloggers,” said Steve Remington. “We came up with several ideas but this one kind of stuck with me and so I went with it. We are working on other ideas as we speak.”

Skinny Moose Media is always looking for interested bloggers who may want to write about the outdoors including sports. If you or anyone you know, might be interested in blogging, send Steve an email at steve@skinnymoose.com. It’s free and you can actually make money at it.

Well-known outdoor writer, magazine columnist and Internet blogger J.R. Absher has announced the total redesign and upgrade of his popular Web site, The Outdoor Pressroom.

Absher’s site has entertained, informed and educated thousands of editors, communicators, outdoor writers, bloggers and general outdoor enthusiasts on a daily basis since it first went online in August, 1999. Located at www.outdoorpressroom.com, the site features news and links about hunting, fishing, wildlife, outdoor politics and the shooting sports, ranging from relevant and breaking news to the bizarre and absurd—and everything in between.

“If it’s wild, it’s compiled,” has been the site’s motto for nearly eight years—a duration that might deserve something akin to the multiplication factor used to calculate dog years—at least in terms of Internet longevity.

“I’m confident with the assertion that The Outdoor Pressroom was the first site of its kind on the Web, as well as the longest-running, news-link venue designed strictly for the communication of important, breaking, and often humorous outdoor and wildlife news,” Absher said.

The new design, which officially debuted online during the holidays, has many new features, including the ability for readers to make comments about stories and links, as well as full archival capabilities. In addition to a headline on each entry, the New Outdoor Pressroom features a few lines of explanation, background or opinion about each posted story.

Subscriber feeds, permalinks and trackbacks are also featured on the upgraded site.

While the Outdoor Pressroom has never been the major commercial success Absher once hoped it might become when first launched, he says the doors it has opened for him with editors, magazines and other Web sites has proven invaluable beyond measure. And, he says he intends to continue hosting the popular site as long as readers continue to read and enjoy his daily offerings.

In addition to his Outdoor Pressroom duties, Absher is a busy freelance writer and a regular contributor to Outdoor Life (magazine and Web site), North American Hunter, North American Fisherman, NRA Publications, Whitetail Journal, Sports Afield Almanac, The Sportsman’s Guide Web site and the new Mossy Oak Web site. He is a public relations consultant for two national shooting organizations, the International Bowhunting Organization and the National Muzzle Loading Rifle Association.
