Wilderness Bonds: A Woman’s Journey Into Hunting

ATLANTA, GA – Media Lodge, the leading digital marketing and content distribution company in the outdoor industry, and Badlands Gear, the trailblazing hunting gear and apparel brand, are proud to introduce the short film, Wilderness Bonds: A Woman’s Journey Into Hunting live on GetZone.com.

The short film can be viewed here.

In a storytelling format, Wilderness Bonds engages emotion and creates connection through the experience of industry insider and first-time hunter, Katey Powers, on an ambitious mule deer hunt on public land in Eastern Oregon. The show is designed to encourage and support aspiring female hunters by sharing a relatable personal experience, the lessons learned, and the importance of a mentor. The story fosters confidence and a sense of belonging.

“People want to see themselves represented in the activities they hope to pursue,” said Christen Everly, President of Media Lodge. “Wilderness Bonds creates an opportunity for women to visualize themselves participating in a hunt, while answering the questions they might be reluctant to ask anyone but a trusted friend.”

“Hunting can become a life-long passion for anyone, whether you started hunting as a kid or picked it up later in life,” said Blake VanTussenbrook, senior marketing manager for Badlands Gear. “That’s why we’re so proud to have been a part of the Wilderness Bonds project. We want to keep sharing that passion for hunting with new people, creating those lasting relationships that can only form in the field or around the campfire.”

Wilderness Bonds, a production by Media Lodge in collaboration with Badlands Gear, is proudly sponsored by Mossberg, The Gun Food, and the esteemed company that is Badlands Gear."
