On this episode of the Adaptive Outdoorsman Podcast, presented by Trackchair, we welcome Casey Allen, State Director of Cross Trail Outfitters. A lifelong outdoorsman and former youth pastor, Casey has dedicated his life to introducing kids and families to the outdoors through hunting, fishing, mentorship, and faith. Through Cross Trail Outfitters, he is helping create life-changing outdoor experiences for young people across Texas and beyond, including opportunities for children with disabilities and those who may have never had the chance to hunt or fish.
In today's episode, we discuss Casey's journey from youth ministry to outdoor ministry, the mission behind Cross Trail Outfitters, and how the organization is inspiring the next generation through hunting, fishing, and conservation. Casey shares memorable stories from the field, explains the importance of family involvement and volunteer support, and discusses the challenges of securing hunting land, navigating regulations, and expanding youth hunting opportunities across the country. It's a conversation about faith, mentorship, conservation, and the lasting impact the outdoors can have on young lives.
