Getting Off The Grid Via Bowhunting

By Adam Parr – 

This post is sponsored by Everywhere Agency on behalf of FoodSaver®; however, all thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.

In today’s fast-paced society, getting outside and hunting is my escape from the constant connectivity of phones and computers. It’s also a means to reconnect with what is truly important to my soul. Living in a 2018 civilization that is far removed from hunting and gathering as a necessity for survival, I believe the ones who have a strong passion as a sportsman in current day are the descendants of a strong hunting ancestry. I know I am one of those people. As a bowhunter, the experiences I have witnessed first hand are nothing short of amazing. I’ve watched many a sunrise and sunset from a tree stand on a cold November day during the chaos of the whitetail rut. I’ve watched tom turkeys at full strut while working into a decoy during the glorious Spring bloom. I’ve watched cow elk feed in a high country meadow surrounded by golden aspens as a herd bull rounds them up for his own. As a bowhunter, I wouldn’t trade these moments for anything.

Kansas Deer Hunting

I am grateful for moments spent in the wild doing what I love.  September 22nd is National Hunting and Fishing Day and I plan on getting off the grid to spend quality time in the woods. More specifically, I’ll be on the side of a mountain chasing screaming bulls in Colorado’s high country with my bow in hand! When I’m in that element, I am able to disconnect to ultimately reconnect with my inner self and the great outdoors. Furthermore, FoodSaver® GameSaver® helps me to preserve memorable moments spent afield with close friends and loved ones. With the same level of importance as my bow, GameSaver is an invaluable tool for my hunting way of life.

Designed With The Beginner In Mind

The GameSaver Outdoorsman Vacuum Sealing System is the perfect mix of power and performance for the avid sportsman who demands a quality vacuum sealer at an unbeatable price. It’s extremely easy to use due to its extra-wide sealing strip and automatic shut off after each seal, making this the perfect wild game preservation system for any beginner. The Outdoorsman is a workhorse too, with capabilities of 40 consecutive seals or up to 120 pounds of game meat.

Keeps Meat Fresh Longer

What I like most about using GameSaver for my vacuum sealing needs is the ease of use with their durable, multi-layered bags and rolls. The Outdoorsman is compatible with all GameSaver heat-seal bags/rolls and they won’t tear or puncture. Most importantly, they block oxygen and moisture which keeps my precious, hard-earned game meat fresh for as long as possible. Ever since I switched to GameSaver, storage bags and wrapping with paper are a thing of the past. Try them for yourself by visiting this link: https://bit.ly/2x53I1I

Do It Yourself!

It’s been years since I’ve dropped a deer or elk off to a meat processor because I prefer to do everything myself. Even though it’s a ton of work, I’ve come to enjoy the entire process of cutting, grinding, and vacuum sealing so I can ensure that everything is kept fresh and tasting great. If you’re interested in getting started with processing and vacuum sealing on your own, make sure to take advantage of an upcoming promo on Amazon where the Outdoorsman, as well as the GameSaver 28 gallon bags and GameSaver 11” expandable heat rolls, will be 20% off from September 9th – September 16th. Amazon will also be running promotions and other deals on GameSaver products throughout the month of September.

Enjoy Your Time Outside

Research shows that people actually remember less of a moment when trying to preserve it by taking videos and pictures. With that in mind, I encourage you to put down your phone and enjoy your time outdoors without technology and connectivity to social media. Come September 22nd, I’ll be getting back to my hardwired roots as a hunter and if you find yourself in need of a little reconnection, I urge you to do the same.
