Who would have thought years ago, having a typical lunch off the . We'd find a vendor at one of the kiosks that had fun, and quirky t-shirts. Aimed at St. Pete and the Floridian lifestyle.

MANY entertaining purchases later, over a couple years time. We built a friendship with Sara from . Around that same time, brought rare n8tiv to life and the stars seemed to align.

Sara has always been so fantastic, and quickly responsive to work with. Because of her we can all now, "wear our wild"! Her meticulous attention to detail, printing every
t-shirt by hand has created eye catching and quality apparel.

We cannot thank you enough Sara! For all of the hard work and the laughs. And as a true BONUS, the friendships we have made.

All thanks to Dug and his dope, "Cats. Apparel. Debauchery." brand. We bought one of his hats long ago, and he gave the artwork credit of that hat, to .

Fast forward years later. We never in our wildest dreams, thought we'd have the privilege of working with such a fantastic and talented muralist. That has literally brought our rare n8tiv brand, and animals to life.

We will never be able to thank you enough Arrielle! And truly enjoy every collaboration, and adventure spent together.

Driving across Tamiami Trail in the 70's & 80's was so fascinating as a kid.

Where did those dirt roads go to? Airboat rides via the Miccosukee Tribe, that sounded fun! And what was the Skunk Ape Headquarters about?

Then in the late 90's - early 2000's, we heard multiple interviews on a local radio morning show in Tampa. With the head of the Skunk Ape Research Headquarters, Dave Shealy. We were hooked by his sightings, and research!

Fast forward, it's been amazing to be able to experience it all in person in the Everglades. Get to know the folks on property, and we always look forward to every trip being an exciting and new adventure.

The best place to be was "together" at Joanie's Blue Crab Cafe. We were like kids in a candy store over the beer selection.

Then the grouper, shrimp, and gator baskets were over the moon. We're saying that having caught our own seafood for over 40 years in FL.

Some call it rustic, we call it our old Florida. Can't wait to go back!

It was so great to escape back to the Everglades, and unwind for a weekend. 🥰

Always brings back fond memories of our old FL.

First stop that night had to be for the amazing pizza we crave at Wildman's pizza, pasta and pythons. We inhaled it so fast, forgot to take a picture until the last piece!

Plus of course we had to find some more Wildman merch.
