"We live in this society that tells young men that there are things we validate more than tenderness and vulnerability…we teach young men to stop caring for authentic connections and (be) more distant with emotions. It's an incredibly brutal thing.” - Lukas Dhont

Trip We are Dreaming About

The GFW boys are about to explore northern Wyoming for a weeklong trout slaying good time. We are dreaming of fishing with the Buffaloes!
What We Are Watching
Wild Fly Productions: Hope and High Water/A Yellowstone Cutthroat Tale
The boys from Wild Fly Productions (Instagram | YouTube) take us on a journey deep into Yellowstone National Park for a true Cutthroat Trout hunting adventure. As we are venturing on a similar trip to explore the area of Yellowstone, this one is a wonderful warm up to get us going!
What We Are Reading
As we age, there is a sobering reality that exists in how our society treats and cares for the elderly. This book is an incredible read in helping us better understand the needs and fears of the aging population. Dr. Atul Gawande’s approach makes meaningful sense in providing the right kind of care for those coming to the end of life…something that awaits us all.
