Renfrow Hardware: Gardening With David Blackley Renfrow’s Hardware & General Merchandise is a 120+ year old mainstay in the greater-Charlotte area located in downtown Matthews, NC. This community staple continues to evolve to fit the ever-changing needs of the world around it, offering everything from hardware and heirloom seeds, to poultry and plants. And, along with other unique local products, they’re still serving their community well!  David Blackley, who grew up in the store and has owned it since 1984, joins the Carolina Outdoors to discuss Renfrow’s Farm and the in-depth services and gardening knowledge that the team provides green-thumb-inclined customers day-in and day-out. You’ll not want to miss this!  Is Some Fear A Requirement To Adventure? Outdoor Guys Bill & Wes recently went ‘Over The Edge’ at the Embassy Suites Hotel in downtown Charlotte, as they rappelled down the side of the building, raising money alongside the NASCAR Hall Of Fame Foundation to help benefit local STEM educational programs. The Jesse Brown’s Outdoors Team also demonstrated casting techniques and the art of fly-fishing (while on the ground!) on the NASCAR Plaza to students, some of whom, undoubtedly, had never fished before and must have had a little fear or trepidation.  Thus begs the question, “Is having some fear a requirement in order to be able to adventure?” A little fear IS healthy and completely normal, and overcoming fear to enjoy being outdoors and adventuring is a challenge worth undertaking!  Continue to listen in after this discussion to hear Jesse Brown’s Outdoors’ Lead Fishing Guide Dave Bergman further break down the “Cheating At The (Fishing) Scales!” news out of Cleveland, Ohio! This conversation is a continuation from Segment 1.  Cheating At The (Fishing) Scales! Anywhere and everywhere, anglers love a good fishing competition…as long as it is fair and the winning weigh-in-results are accurate. Recently, at a Lake Erie walleye fishing tournament taking place in Cleveland, Ohio, two anglers were accused of ‘tipping the scales’ of fairness after it was discovered that they had filled the stomachs of their fish with lead weights. “We’ve got weights in fish!” was the rallying cry.  At this tournament, as is custom, there was big prize money on the table. The pair of anglers had actually taken home a $150,000+ boat in 2021 (they sold the boat and split the money) and had amassed close to half-a-million dollars in other winnings. They’d been on a winning streak for over a year, which begs the question…was every tournament won with false weight? Listen in at the end of Segment 2 as the Carolina Outdoors Guys break down this wild story further and in more detail with Jesse Brown’s Outdoors’ Lead Fishing Guide, Dave Bergman!  Sponsored by Jessie Brown's Outdoors.

Jesse Brown’s Outdoors: A 52-Year Tradition! As we head into this Labor Day Weekend, The Outdoor Guys brings this episode of The Carolina Outdoors back home to Jesse Brown’s Outdoors, discussing the many wonderful things happening at Charlotte’s Original Outdoor Store. Since 1970, Jesse Brown’s Outdoors has been supplying anything and everything for outdoor pursuits and adventures and we are especially proud to continue this tradition now in our 52nd year. Bill Bartee and Christopher Lawing close out today’s show with an invitation to visit our online store at www.jessebrowns.com AND our brick-and-mortar store at 4732 Sharon Road, Suite 2M in Charlotte’s Premier Shopping District of SouthPark. And especially this Labor Day Weekend, there are some sales as we say ‘bye’ to summer and ‘hello’ to fall. Until next time, watch some college football, reflect on some of your own hallowed traditions, and we’ll meet you back here on The Carolina Outdoors! Ringing In Dove Season Another hallowed tradition to help ring in the autumn season is the Opening Day of Dove Season! The Outdoor Guys invite on Sampson Parker Jr., Wildlife Officer for Mecklenburg County, to discuss not only his responsibilities but also his ‘ins-and-outs’ recommendations for this iconic sport. Officer Parker is the only NC Wildlife Resources Commission wildlife officer assigned to Mecklenburg County, and so he, along with assistance from officers in the surrounding counties, will be making sure that dove hunters are out safely participating in the activity while also following the laws and regulations. Sounds like a busy job? He says he likes his office (the outdoors!) better than anyone else! And, as with most other outdoor activities, for those needing gear, Jesse Brown’s Outdoors is a wonderful place to turn, supplying brands like Filson to make sure the day goes off without a hitch. Kickoff To College Football! One of these traditions to help ring in autumn, is the hallowed Kickoff To College Football! Most everyone has a team they pull for, whether it is their alma-mater or a beloved sports team in the community they now call home. But either way, all around the country, this Labor Day Weekend marks the beginning to renewed rivalries and good-fun-antics as fans line up behind their teams. The Outdoor Guys invite on Ed Billick of WBT-Sports to discuss what this time of the year and sport season means to us all: anticipation, tradition, excitement, new beginnings, and so much more. So, make sure that as you head out to participate in the football kickoff energy this year, you include Jesse Brown’s Outdoors in the fun by grabbing one of their super comfortable GCI Outdoor chairs for some lean-back-and-relax gridiron viewing (before you jump up and down cheering for your team, of course)! Traditions & Transitions Today’s entire podcast and segment series revolves around one theme: the importance of traditions as we move forward in life. And, as the Outdoor Guys kick off today’s show, Bill Bartee and Christopher Lawing discuss this topic in a way that is very near and dear to Jesse Brown’s Outdoors‘ heart – Christopher’s “Charlotte Signs Project” and the stories that come along with some of these hallowed Queen City places. Listen in as the *new* Penguin Drive-In Restaurant is discussed as well as Christopher’s new exhibit, “Charlotte: Signs Of Home”, at the Charlotte Museum Of History. Jesse Brown’s Outdoors is proud to carry Christopher’s book, “Charlotte: The Signs Of The Times” for those occasions that deserve a unique gift, for someone wanting to take a trip down memory lane, or for those wanting to learn more about the community they call home! And make sure to reflect on this: what are some traditions that give meaning to your life and flavor to your life story? Sponsored by Jessie Brown's Outdoors.

For some it is a tradition and for some it will be a new experience! But how exactly does one prepare for this type of trip? Brand such as FILSON may come to mind. Today, the Outdoor Guys invite David Gaskins onto the Carolina Outdoors to discuss preparations for a trip such as this and to offer insight into what to expect on some of the expeditions. This is a trip of a lifetime; something to be anticipated, cherished, and fondly remembered. Seven J Outfitters in Sundance, Wyoming is one of the expedition services that offer guided hunts, and is discussed in the show’s audio.

Hiking With Dogs As extended members of our family, we want to have our furry four-legged friends always by our side, and that is whether we are headed to a greenway or simply walking around the neighborhood. And this is no different when we are going on a hiking adventure! But, there are certain things to consider and keep in mind. We invite on Ellen Kanzinger, Blue Ridge Outdoors Magazine’s travel editor, to hear how she views the world through the eyes of her ‘best friend’ and what we all can learn from having a four-legged companion by our side as they adventure with us every step of the way! Camping Around & Muddin’ Continuing on from the wonderful segment containing Wes’ advice on how to best pack for camping trips, let’s explore some other tips and tricks for camping in general.

Listen in for advice on how to properly camp locally in order to get the most from your adventure. There’s also a fun event happening in the foothills, up in Morganton: the Ohana “Family Mud Run” or “Mudder” as it is colloquially called. At 1 mile in length, containing 16 obstacles, a family or team will conquer rope crawls, big mud hills, gigantic sprinklers, inflatables, and so much more. There is also a river tubing portion of the ‘run’ so you’ll be able to at least temporarily wash off the mud! Listen in as we send one of Jesse Brown’s Outdoors’ own to compete in this race of a lifetime. A Super Moon & A Superstar It’s that time of the year for the fourth and final supermoon of the summer.
