[Field Ethos] I stood at the open tailgate of the ’64 County Squire station wagon—Ford’s next-gen answer to the iconic Woody. The vinyl wood grain along the wagon’s flanks looked like real wood...from about 20 paces.

But for the crickets who’s cadence had begun to slow as the season eased toward fall, all was quiet in the neighborhood. I was dressed in my Levi’s and a pair of roughout boots. Size all that to a boy of only eight years.

Dad slid the dinged up metal Coleman cooler into the back of the wagon and swung the huge tailgate shut.

"Ok son, lets go"

It was opening day of dove season, September 1st, 1966, 1:30 A.M.

The drive to Coachella took about two-and-a-half hours. Though groggy from a lack of sleep, I was wide-eyed. Dad and I talked intermittently about this and that. I was one of those kids that asked a lot of questions. He never really seemed to mind.

DONALD J. TRUMP, JR. – CO-FOUNDER, PUBLISHER
Most people see me as a businessman, a figure in the political world and a family man. While I certainly love all of these things I also felt the need to work on a passion project in the world of hunting, fishing and adventure. Myself along with several friends launched Field Ethos Journal as a small business dedicated to telling the stories of time in the field. Our brand focuses on the things that truly matter to us: the places we go, the people we meet, the cultures we experience, the adventures that lie in wait for anyone willing to take a step into the unknown and the global successes of conservation that preserve all of these things for generations to come. I hope you’ll follow along and even take part in what we’re doing. Life’s greatest adventures are ahead of us all.
