Welcome to Skinny’s 411, LLC

Get Outside and Play!

You’ve found Skinny’s 411 — a growing hub for outdoor adventures, practical projects, and unapologetic humor straight from Southern Indiana.

Here, every page is an open trail: some finished, some muddy, all worth walking. Take a look around — you might just find the spark to get outside and play.

Notice

Just like Trickling Falls (tfallsce.com), this site’s still under construction — but wide open for exploration.
Some pages may lead to dead ends, so consider it part of the adventure. Updates roll out when time, weather, and budget allow (usually not in that order).

Update — End of Year Wrap-Up

As 2025 comes to an end, it’s worth asking whether any real progress was made.
Truthfully? There’s more here than it might seem at first glance.

This time last year, the studio was a single block room wrapped in plastic. Today, it stands as a fully framed 960-square-foot building. While the exterior still needs finishing, the interior is dry, enclosed, and usable — even on rainy days.

The goal remains the same:
a fully functional creative space for videos, reviews, and outdoor content.

2026 won’t be about rushing — it’ll be about finishing what was started and putting this space to real use.
The layout is already set, with defined areas for:

  • Skinny’s desk and office

  • Cole’s kitchen

  • A Familiar Flame workshop

  • Bicycle maintenance

  • Product photography

  • Bex / Chex / Sex workout corner

  • And a dedicated zone for outdoor gear storage, trip packing, layouts, and reviews

Progress hasn’t been fast or flashy — and yes, there have been quiet months — but the project has crossed the line from idea to usable reality.

Soon to Be Your One-Stop Adventure Hub

Whether you crave a new trail, a quiet paddle, or a backroad ride on two wheels, Skinny’s 411 is about real adventures for real people.

With Fresh Perspective Photography, LLC capturing the moments, these outings highlight forests, parks, lakes, small towns, and the places most folks drive past without noticing.

We’ll explore nature, uncover local gems, and maybe even redefine what “adventure” means for the rest of us.

For the Rest of Us (Yeah, Especially Over 40)

This site’s for anyone who wants to get moving again — without climbing Everest.

No cliff scaling. No bear wrestling (unless one shows up first).

Instead, expect honest looks at public parks, state forests, and private “pay” sites you can actually enjoy, plus locally owned restaurants, small businesses, and offbeat attractions worth a stop.

More Than Just Trails

Here you’ll find:

  • Articles on reconnecting with nature (with links for deeper dives)

  • Cole’s Cuisine cooking ideas for camp or home

  • Product reviews beyond camping gear — real items, real opinions

  • And plenty of other surprises along the way

Fair question. You can. But here, you don’t just go camping — you join a tribe.
You get company around the fire, shared stories, and a few belly laughs you won’t find scrolling at home or camping alone.
