Embracing Outdoor Adventures
About The Wild Ways
Prioritizing God, Family, and Lifestyle Above All Else.
That’s the vision that pulled me out of the ordinary and into the wild—and it’s the fire behind everything here.
I’m Lyman Miller, trapper, hunter, forager, and full-time bush dweller in the rugged heart of North Central British Columbia. Years ago, I walked away from the city grind, the steady paycheck, and the endless distractions to build a life rooted in faith, family, and true freedom. It was brutal at times—cold mornings on the trapline, hard lessons from the land, failures that humbled me—but every challenge brought me closer to what matters: providing for my own, staying anchored in God’s creation, and living unapologetically free from the system’s chains.
The Wild Ways started as a way to share that journey. What began with raw stories from the bush has grown into a full platform for anyone hungry for the real outdoor life:
• YouTube channel (@lymanswildways): Unfiltered videos of trapping, hunting, fishing, foraging, bushcraft, and the mindset it takes to go all-in.
• The Wild Ways Podcast: Deep, no-BS talks on wilderness realities, faith in hard times, government overreach, self-reliance, and resisting the grind.
• Blog & Newsletter: Insightful posts and updates on full-time outdoor living, ethical harvesting, family legacy, and feeding your spirit first.
• Foraged Goods & Gear: Hand-harvested treasures like Diamond Willow Fungus and spruce tips, plus Wild Ways hats and merch to wear your freedom.
• Trapline Tours: Seasonal, hands-on experiences in the North—step onto the line, learn the craft, feel the wild for yourself.
• Public Speaking & Online Seminars: Live talks, workshops, and virtual sessions where I bring the bush wisdom straight to you. From community events and outdoor gatherings to online seminars on trapping techniques, breaking free from modern traps, faith-fueled resilience, and building a self-reliant life—these are opportunities to connect in person or from anywhere, ignite change, and equip others to prioritize what truly lasts.
Our mission is simple and God-centered: to be used by Him to help others do the same—put God first, protect and build family, and choose a lifestyle that nourishes the soul instead of starving it for temporary comforts.
If you’re tired of screens stealing your days, bills stealing your peace, and the world telling you comfort is king—this is your sign. The wild isn’t just out there in the forests and mountains; it’s a mindset, a calling, a path back to what’s real.

The adventure isn’t waiting—it’s roaring in North Central BC, and it’s open to anyone ready to answer.
God. Family. Lifestyle.
The Wild Ways.
