Pursuit Channel’s Backwoods Life Names Family Tradition As Show’s Official Treestand

HDHO--HOL20While hunting across North America, Backwoods Life hosts Michael Lee, Trey Wetherington, and Kevin Knighton exclusively use high-quality Family Tradition Treestands.

Hahira, GA (September 2, 2009) – Backwoods Life Television, the award winning outdoors reality hunting show airing on the Pursuit Channel, announced today it has named Family Tradition Treestands as the TV show’s official treestand manufacturer.

Michael Lee, Trey Wetherington, and Kevin Knighton, the hosts of Backwoods Life, first experience with Family Tradition Treestands was in 2008 while bowhunting for whitetails at CCW Outfitters in Marion, Ky. The popular hosts were immediately impressed, so much so that they have been exclusively using Family Tradition’s well-built products ever since.

Family Tradition Treestands are all about quality and performance. Their stands are 100% American made in the U.S. with high-quality galvanized tubular steel for added structural integrity and rust resistance.

“Family Tradition Treestands are by far the highest quality stands we have ever used.” said Michael Lee, host of Backwoods Life on the Pursuit Channel, “When hunters compare the quality and durability of Family Traditions to the stands of other manufacturers, the differences will be obvious. We recommend Family Tradition Treestands to everyone.”

With models to fit every type of hunter, Family Tradition Treestands has clearly set the standard for comfort in the woods. Family Tradition Treestands, LLC is also doing its part to preserve the true heritage of hunting by keeping our hunting customers safe, comfortable and passionate about hunting sports.

A passion that is rapidly disappearing from other businesses that rely on the sport of hunting.

With models to fit every type of hunter, Family Tradition Treestands clearly set the standard for comfort in the woods.

Bone Collector Co-Host Nick Mundt On Backwoods Life Radio

Bone Collector Nick Mundt with trophy whitetailBone Collector Co-Host Nick Mundt

Backwoods Life Radio, airing Wednesdays at 6:00PM EST locally on 105.9FM WVGA in Valdosta, GA and streamed live throughout the world over the internet, will have special guest Nick Mundt on the August 5th show.

Mundt, co-host of the Outdoor Channel hit show Bone Collector, will spend an hour live with Backwoods Life Radio hosts Michael Lee, Trey Wetherington, and Kevin Knighton. Listener’s questions are always welcome during the show by calling the WVGA phoneline at 229-241-1059.

Mundt spent his early years in life growing up in Spearfish, South Dakota and chasing big bucks in The Black Hills Area. He never imagined that his passion for hunting and the outdoors would turn into a full-time career as a TV co-host of a hunting show.

After graduating from Spearfish High School in 1991, Mundt attended barber college. He’s still licensed and cuts hair now for mainly family and friends, and time limits him from doing it more often.

A former hunting guide, Mundt met Michael Waddell and Travis T-Bone Turner while working 9 years as a Realtree cameraman and field producer. When Waddell started his own production company, Mundt went with him.

Mundt, when not traveling, hunting and filming around the world for Bone Collector, spends his off time in Brookings, SD – which is about 425 miles east of his hometown of Spearfish and near the Minnesota state line.
