Since he could walk he has been an outdoorsman. Builds forts, collects survival gear, cleans and cooks the fish he catches. It’s who he is.

What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreWhat Waylon loves most about nature is that it’s always changing, and there’s always something new to discover or find. He’s also a collector, so he loves to find cool rocks, and other treasures from the earth. He’s most interested in the critters, and finding different species of insects and animals. He loves building forts from nature as well, and I’m pretty sure he would live in the woods if I let him!
I don’t think I could say he has a specific favorite. He loves them all from domestic pets, to mammals and reptiles. Whatever critter is in front of him, that’s his favorite. I will say he has the most knowledge in fish. He is self taught in everything fishing and outdoors and watches a lot of educational videos on anything to do with the outdoors.
Waylon has many things he loves to do outdoors. All I have to do is take him to the woods and he could find a way to entertain himself for hours with his survival gear and whatever he finds on his adventures. I would say his most favorite thing is fishing. He knows almost every species of fish and is very self educated in what each species likes and how they survive. His dream job is to be a deep sea fisherman, and he teaches me something new about them every time we go!
