❤️ SOME PLACES LEAVE MORE THAN MEMORIES. THEY LEAVE A MARK ON YOUR HEART.

As my first season here in Wisconsin comes to an end, I've been doing a lot of reflecting.

This was my very first year workamping. My very first assignment. When I pulled in here, I honestly had NO idea what to expect.

I didn't know what the work would be like, what challenges I'd face, or what kind of people I'd meet along the way.

What I certainly didn't expect was how much this place, and the people here, would come to mean to me.

I've worked some long days, learned a lot, shared plenty of laughs, and made memories I'll carry with me for the rest of my life.

But what stands out the most isn't the work.

It's the people. ❤️

When I lost my girl Neytiri back in August, I was devastated. And during one of the hardest moments of my life, the people here showed me a level of kindness and compassion I never could have expected.

I can't even begin to count how many hugs I received. How many people checked on me. How many kind words were shared.

I even had some truly amazing coworkers offer to help pay for her cremation.

People who had only known me for a few months showed up for me when I needed it most.

That is something I will NEVER forget.

I've spent a lot of years working in a lot of different places, but I can genuinely say this experience has been different.

I'm leaving Wisconsin with far more than I arrived with. Not in possessions or money, but in friendships, memories, and a renewed appreciation for the goodness in people.

To my coworkers, the seasonal campers, the friends I've made, and every single person who has been part of this journey...

THANK YOU. FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.

I'm truly humbled by the kindness, generosity, and friendship you've shown me.

In just one season, this place has become so much more than somewhere I worked.

It's become somewhere I'll always feel connected to.

And while I'm excited for the next chapter of Forged by Miles, I can promise you one thing...

A piece of my heart will always be right here in Wisconsin. ❤️

This may have been my first year workamping, but because of all of you, I know it won't be my last.

Until we meet again, thank you for making this first chapter something I'll never forget.

In retrospect......i need to take way more pictures with people lol

🌲 FROM THE TREETOPS TO THE TAILGATE! 🏈💚💛

Another day of hard work in the books!

Spent the day working on trees, putting in the hours and getting things done. But now? The work boots are off, and it's time for a little fun!

🏈 Tonight, I'm at Lambeau Field tailgating before the Packers game with Andrew Joles and KC Going ! 🍻🔥

Nothing quite like wrapping up a day of hard work with some good food, cold drinks, great company, and Packers football!

This is one of the things I love about this lifestyle. Work hard, enjoy the opportunities that come your way, and make some memories along the journey.

💚💛 GO PACK GO! 🧀🏈

Who's watching the game tonight? And who's going to be cheering on the Packers with me?!

🐺 Forged by Miles
Work hard. Live free. Enjoy the journey.

🌲💪 ANOTHER DAY IN THE TREES! WINTER PREP CONTINUES! 🍂

Another busy day here in Wisconsin!

Spent more time up in the lift working on trees, clearing out branches and getting things cleaned up before winter settles in.

Once we wrapped that up, it was time to start putting away the picnic tables for the season. One by one, the campsites are getting cleared out and everything is being tucked away until spring.

It's definitely a different sight from the campground that was packed with campers and activity all summer!

Hard to believe my time here is almost over. Just a little more work, a few more memories to make, and then it's time to point the truck south toward my next adventure! 🚛☀️

Different seasons. Different jobs. Same work ethic. 💪

👇 QUESTION FOR MY FELLOW CAMPERS AND WORKAMPERS!

Are you already packed up for winter, or are you one of the lucky ones heading somewhere warm?

🦢 Well, now THIS is a welcome change of scenery! 😂

After seeing more than enough of those God-forsaken geese everywhere, it's nice to finally see some swans for a change!

Beautiful, graceful birds that actually make you want to stop and admire them instead of wondering when you're about to get hissed at or chased across the property. 🤣

Four of these beauties out enjoying the day. Definitely a sight I don't mind seeing around the campground!

I'll take swans over geese ANY day of the week! 🦢😎

⚡🌲 WISCONSIN FRIENDS, I COULD USE A LITTLE HELP! 🌲⚡

As some of you have seen, I've recently gotten my hands on something pretty special...

WOOD FROM TREES THAT WERE STRUCK BY LIGHTNING! ⚡🪵

And I'm not talking about just a few little pieces. I've got some substantial sections of these trees, complete with some incredible natural markings and discoloration!

I've got some BIG plans for this wood through Custom Designs by Kauffman, including a collection of premium, limited-edition handcrafted pieces.

But before any of that happens, this wood needs to be properly dried!

🔥 SO HERE'S WHERE I COULD USE YOUR HELP!

I'm looking for someone here in Central Wisconsin who has access to a wood-drying kiln and would be interested in helping me get this lumber properly dried when it's ready.

Ideally, I'm looking for someone experienced with drying slabs and rounds who understands the importance of preserving the natural character of unusual wood.

⚡ This isn't ordinary lumber, and I want to do it right!

I'm planning to let the wood air-dry first, then have it professionally kiln-dried when it's ready.

👇 DO YOU KNOW SOMEONE?

Maybe a local sawmill, woodworker, lumberyard, or someone with their own kiln?

TAG THEM IN THE COMMENTS OR SEND ME A MESSAGE!

Even if you don't personally know anyone, sharing this post could help me find the right person!

I'd love to keep this project local if possible, and I'm excited to eventually show everyone what this incredible wood becomes!

From a lightning strike in the Wisconsin woods to something built to last for generations. ⚡🌲

Thanks for helping me make it happen! 💪😎

🐾🔥 BIG DOG OWNERS, THIS ONE'S FOR YOU! 🔥🐾

GOT A GIANT BREED? TIRED OF DOG BEDS THAT ARE TOO SMALL? 🐕

If you've ever owned a really big dog, you know the struggle of finding a bed that actually gives them enough room to stretch out!

Well, here's one I can personally recommend!

💥 52 INCHES OF COMFORT FOR YOUR BIGGEST FOUR-LEGGED FAMILY MEMBERS!

I've used this exact same dog bed for TWO different dogs now!

🐕 First, my English Mastiff.

🐻‍❄️ And now, my Great Pyrenees!

SAME BED. TWO GIANT BREEDS. STILL GOING STRONG! 💪

I'm not recommending something I've never used. This is a product that's been part of my own home, and it's earned its place!

Whether you've got a Great Dane, Mastiff, Great Pyrenees, Saint Bernard, or another big lovable giant, this bed is definitely worth checking out!

🐾 Because big dogs deserve more than a tiny place to curl up!

🌲🚜 ANOTHER DAY OF HARD WORK, HEAVY EQUIPMENT, AND GETTING THINGS DONE! 💪🔥

The 2026 camping season might be winding down, but the work sure isn't! 🤣😂

Today was all about tackling more of the fall cleanup here at the campground!

🌳 Working up in the trees with the 60-foot boom lift, cutting back limbs and clearing out branches.

🚜 Hauling away piles of brush and debris, putting the equipment to work, and getting things cleaned up before winter settles in.

There's a whole lot more that goes into maintaining a campground with over 600 sites than most people ever get to see!

And while the campers are heading home and things are getting quieter, we're still out here putting in the work to make sure everything is taken care of.

With my time here in Wisconsin quickly coming to an end, I'm making the most of these final days before the next adventure begins! 🚛☀️

One thing I've learned over the years: The work doesn't always get easier, but having the right equipment sure makes a difference! 😎

🔥 QUESTION FOR EVERYONE:

Who's spent some time running heavy equipment? Boom lifts, skid steers, excavators, dump trucks... what's your favorite machine to operate?
