A Chesapeake crabber turns scrap boats into floating camps, proving grit and creativity still rule the water.
What happens when a first-generation waterman applies backcountry thinking to tidewater living? In this episode, Sam sits down with Chesapeake Bay crabber and boat captain Luke McFadden to unpack a mindset rooted in self-reliance, problem-solving, and life on the water. From building a camper atop a 12-foot jon boat to engineering pontoon stability and walk-around decks, Luke explains how minimalist design and reclaimed materials can unlock serious capability for hunting, fishing, and extended time outdoors.
Hear how these DIY watercraft become functional tools for real pursuits, including float-based deer hunting, coastal fishing, and overnight camps in unpredictable weather. Luke breaks down the gear decisions that matter when space is tight, why every item must earn its place, and how safety planning changes on big water like the Chesapeake Bay.
The conversation also explores Luke’s path into commercial crabbing, what it takes to survive as a young waterman today, and how direct-to-consumer thinking led to building a crab stand from a salvaged wooden workboat. Along the way, we dig into content creation, long-form storytelling, and why hands-on outdoor skills still resonate in a digital age.
This is an insider conversation about working waterfronts, adaptive hunting strategies, and the satisfaction of building something that works because you need it to.
