Backwoods Obsessions is an outdoor media and lifestyle brand rooted in hunting and built around authentic outdoor experiences. Hosted by Karl Kiessling from Texas and JW Fox from Georgia, we bring together perspectives from different regions, terrains, and outdoor traditions to create compelling video podcasts and field-based content. We believe in honest conversations, real-world learning, and rebuilding the traditions of hunting and the outdoors for today and for generations to come.

We are inclusive of women and men, young and old, beginners and lifelong hunters and outdoor enthusiasts. Our content is driven by real field use and genuine experience, not paid opinions. We believe credibility comes from authentic experience in the field. Beyond hunting, we celebrate the broader outdoor life—camping, scouting, fishing, hiking, camp cooking, and the shared memories made with family and friends. Outdoor traditions extend far beyond the moment a trigger is pulled; families and friends are vital to the entire experience.
