What is the unfiltered outdoorsman?

The Unfiltered Outdoorsman is the adventurous offshoot of The Unfiltered Traveler, focusing on the hunting and fishing side of the brand. Think of it as the "dude side" of our travel services—without being tied down by gender roles.

We get that when planning a trip, everyone has different priorities, and for many, that priority revolves around hunting and fishing.

We are still all about authentic adventures that connect you with the world. Whether you're an experienced hunter or someone looking to try fishing for the first time, we offer guided trips that combine the thrill of the outdoors with the chance to explore new cultures and destinations. Our team has built strong, lasting friendships with local partners, ensuring you get an insider experience every time.

We focus on providing personalized, small-group adventures where you're not just a guest—you're part of the family. Our trips are laid-back, fun, and tailored to adventurers of all skill levels and ages who want something different from the usual. Whether it’s a hunting expedition or a fishing getaway, we take care of everything from lodging to expert local guides.

At the Unfiltered Outdoorsman, it’s not just about the destination—it's about the journey, the people you meet, and the stories you’ll take home.

meet chad: the face of the unfiltered outdoorsman

I’m a dad, a husband, a veteran, and avid outdoorsman. Hunting and fishing have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up in Iowa and Arizona, I found my true passion in bow hunting, but what I love most is sharing my experiences with others. There’s nothing quite like seeing someone catch their first giant fish—that moment is everything.

A turning point for me was my first South African hunting trip. I was blown away by how much more there is to hunting outside the US. I hadn’t grown up with that perspective, and it opened my eyes to a whole new world of possibilities. I’ve always been good at connecting with people, making friends, and creating lasting memories, and now I want to make those kinds of adventures accessible for everyone.

We’re excited to announce our upcoming fishing trips to the Canary Islands!

We’ve teamed up with locals to create authentic, affordable packages that give you a true taste of what the islands have to offer. Our main guide lives right in Lanzarote and partners with local outfitters to ensure you have a top-notch experience.

You’ll stay in a comfortable flat or apartment, with the option to upgrade your lodging if you prefer. Plus, we can customize any trip to fit your needs, including journeys to neighboring islands, Barcelona, etc.

Chad recently led a group of fishermen from Texas to Tenerife, where they hooked a massive 730lb bluefin tuna using poppers and fishing deep water. It took the whole team seven and a half hours to reel it in! The guide for the trip has been fishing these waters his whole life, so you’re in expert hands.
