About River & Roam
Our Philosophy
At River & Roam, we believe the best stories are written outside. Whether it’s the stillness of a foggy morning on the lake, the crunch of boots on backcountry trails, or the quiet discipline of tracking game through the woods—these moments shape us. They teach us patience, resilience, and a deep respect for the land.
River & Roam exists to honor that connection to nature. We’re here to inspire your next outdoor pursuit, provide practical tips you can trust, and build a community of like-minded folks who live for the challenge, the solitude, and the adventure that only the outdoors can offer.
Our Mission
Our mission is to reconnect people with the natural world through thoughtful, experience-driven content. We aim to be the trusted guide for anyone who lives life off the beaten path—whether you’re a lifelong hunter, weekend backpacker, passionate angler, or just getting your boots muddy for the first time.
River & Roam provides:
- Field-Tested Knowledge – From gear guides to tracking techniques
- Real-World Advice – Tips that work because they’re built on experience
- Outdoor Inspiration – Places to explore, skills to master, and moments to remember

What We Cover
We don’t try to cover everything—just what matters to people who are serious about the outdoors. Our main topics include:
- Hunting & Wild Game – Skills, ethics, gear, and seasonal strategies
- Fishing – From fly to saltwater, we explore techniques, tackle, and timing
- Hiking & Backpacking – Trail recommendations, planning tips, survival know-how
- Camping & Off-Grid Living – Bushcraft, shelter, fire-building, remote setups

About the Founder
River & Roam was founded by Madison Clark, a lifelong lover of the outdoors with deep Texas roots and a passion for practical living. Raised in a family of eight brothers who taught her to hunt, fish, and fix just about anything, Madison learned early that there’s no substitute for hard work, hands-on experience, and time spent outside.
With over eight years of professional writing and publishing under her belt—and multiple successful lifestyle and niche content sites—Madison created River & Roam as a place where outdoor wisdom, rugged simplicity, and modern digital media could meet. Her goal is to inspire others to step out of the chaos of modern life and into the peace and purpose that come with wild places and traditional skills.
Today, she continues to lead the site with the same values she grew up with: stay humble, stay curious, and always leave the land better than you found it.
Writing Team
Leo Clark is the kind of guy who’d rather be under open skies than fluorescent lights. A skilled writer with a deep respect for the land, he brings the outdoors to life through practical, boots-on-the-ground storytelling. Leo writes from experience—because he lives it.
As a key member of our image team, Leo’s lens captures the quiet beauty and raw grit of wild places. His skills don’t just illustrate articles—they tell stories that stick with you long after the page. From sunrise fishing trips to storm-worn trails, Leo’s work reminds us why we go outside in the first place.
Our Commitment
We’re committed to quality over quantity, timeless skills over trends, and authenticity above all. Every article we publish is meant to help you get outside, stay outside longer, and do so with knowledge, respect, and appreciation for the land beneath your boots.
