Chil'n Outdoors

Today, I'm joined by Pete Kaple, the host of the Skiff Wanderer YouTube channel and podcast.Pete has a fascinating story. Pursuing his passions for photography and fishing, he transitioned from merchant mariner to content creator and fishing guide. Additionally, Pete embodies the entrepreneurial spirit through his various ventures, including KP Laser Works and Reel Fishing Roasters.Initially, I was hesitant to invite Pete early on the show's run, debating whether to hold off until later, when things would be more polished. However, I was thrilled when he accepted the invite. Pete shared a wealth of knowledge from his philosophy and ethics on the water, to tips for catching Texas redfish, and insights on finding the balance of perfection.

On this episode of "Chil'n Outdoors," I speak with Anthony Caputo, also known as The Skiff Guy on YouTube. Anthony began his channel by working on skiffs in his garage and has since expanded to running a shop in Jacksonville called Skiffland, which has since become Skiffland Boatworks, where he takes on larger, more intricate projects. Anthony has also created a community for his followers, both online and at Skiffland.During our conversation, Anthony shares how he maintains a work-life balance while navigating content creation, family responsibilities, and his diagnosis of heart failure. He catalogs daily vlogs for entertainment and to share experiences with his family.Additionally, we gain insight into what he looks for when purchasing a skiff or a truck. Be sure to check out his channel, as he often posts listings of deals he finds.Anthony reminds us to slow down and enjoy what's around us. Life is not always easy, but making sure it doesn't pass us by is vital. I want to thank Anthony again for being on the podcast. I look forward to checking in with him in a year for part two and seeing each other's progress.
