About Jody Blackwelder

Hi, I'm Jody Blackwelder, the CEO here at Outdoor Crusade. I’ve always believed "crusade" is the perfect word for the outdoor lifestyle. It’s more than a hobby, it’s a passionate mission. Whether it's hunting, fishing, hiking, or survival, I'm passionate about every subject we cover. My goal is to pass on the heritage and skills found across all these pursuits. As CEO, my commitment is to you. I work to ensure that every article, guide, and story we publish no matter the topic is authentic, accurate, and inspiring. I’m here to champion the voices of the field, share hard-won wisdom, and help fuel your next adventure. Thanks for joining the crusade. I'll see you out there.
