Cowboy Jim‘s Stories Around the Campfire

Bull Durham and the coyotes

More adventures with Bull Durham, our fun and crazy dog.  He was a mutt with the greatest personality any dog ever had.  This was the dog who grinned and made life fun and funny on the ranch.

Slapping a Moose (Elk, Moose and other wild animals)

Over the years I've had lots of encounters with various wild animals.  They are magnificent and fun to watch.  Some were close and some were farther away but all show the wonderful creation that they are. 

Pranks ( I gotcha!)

Some pranks that were played down through the years in camps, backpacking and other places.  There were lots more that will be told about later.

Camping Adventures with Kids

Kids camping can always be full of adventures.  Here are a few stories of us with our kids in great camping adventures, thunderstorms, washed out roads and long hikes.  Also some interesting campsites we have known.

Marching to a Different Drummer

Sometimes there are campers that are just different than you expect.  Sometimes they are funny and sometimes challenging but always will keep you on your toes.  They are a great resource for unusual stories.

Supercoon and other adventures with raccoons

Raccoons can be a big distraction when you're camping or dealing with them on the ranch.  Throw in a few chickens and dogs and you can have quite a mess.

You think this is cold? Let me tell you when....

Stories about some very cold weather situations I have been in over the years.  You might want to wrap up in a blanket before you listen!

Close Encounters of the bear kind

Adventures with bears in the great outdoors.  Maybe you shouldn't do this at home!  Cowboy Jim has some merchandise for sale that highlights the podcast.  Check it out at https://cowboyjim.gumroad.com/

 

Family heritage or the wild, wild west

Some stories of my family heritage from both my Dad's and Mom's sides.  Wagon trains, posse's, muleskinners and ranchers.  No wonder I turned out the way I did.

Stewart‘s Placer (Hidden Gold)

More hidden gold stories in the San Juan mountains of Colorado.  I've backpacked all through this area and love to remember the stories.
