Chris Cobbett, a contributing writer for U.S. Hunting Today and Skinny Moose Media and his partner Nate Fenderson of Northwoods Outdoors, are very pleased to find their cable television program, Northwoods Adventures TV, ranked among the top 50 outdoor programs.
Chris, a full-time teacher in the Oxford Hills region of Maine, and Nate, a Quality supervisor for Georgia Pacific, travel all across the country on hunting and outdoor adventures. They film what they do and put together quality programming that airs on many cable television networks across North America.
This past fall, Chris and Nate volunteered their time to work with Aubrey Olson in helping to grant her a “Hunt of a Lifetime” in bagging a Maine bull moose. You can read that story and watch video here.
Skinny Moose Media contacted Chris at his home in Norway, Maine and asked him if this was a goal of his and Nate’s from the beginning. This was his comment:
” As Nate and I look back at the past 5 years and reflect on the growth of the show, we are filled with pride. Very few people gave us a snowball’s chance. After all, look at the concept. Two rednecks from yahoo Maine trying to produce a show for a national audience. When we started we knew nothing about the cameras, editing, or marketing. I would not have wanted the Vegas odds on our little show surviving the first year.
Somehow we have made a go of it. We attribute our success to two factors. One, a strong viewer base that likes to see working class people in the outdoors. And secondly, the support of other media helping draw viewers to the show. We are thankful to all the outdoors writers , web support, and Skinny Moose Media for all the help along the way.
In the future we look to expand the show to include our families more . Our goal is to showcase the camaraderie and excitement of the outdoor sports.”
The program ranking was done by Back Channel Media out of Boston.

Northwoods Adventures TV is now ranked among some of the very best of outdoor programming in America.
