DOORS OPENING JUNE 13TH!
The Hidden Pine Lodge is a members-only extension of The Southern Blueprint—
A place for the curious. The restless. The ones who still believe there’s something worth discovering.
Whether you’re wading into a trout stream, following a forgotten trail through the pines, or digging into the truth behind old legends and lost fortunes, this is where it all converges.
It’s for explorers of all kinds—readers, ramblers, bourbon drinkers, and storytellers.
For only $4 a month-Here’s what you can expect when you step inside:
- Private Discord – Members get access to a private Lodge Discord, organized into rooms like Angler’s Rest (fly fishing & tying), The Trailhead (hiking & camping), The Treasure Vault (hidden history & legends), Porchlight Parables (folklore), The Hive (beekeeping), and more. It’s the kind of place where you might find a new book recommendation, a fishing tip, or a clue to an unsolved mystery—all before lunch.
- Dispatches from the Lodge – Weekly long-form pieces (not found on the website here) on Southern folklore, travel guides, local oddities, bourbon, cigars, and real-life treasure trails. This is where the rabbit holes lead somewhere.
- The Bookhouse – Step into a monthly reading circle built around my Southern Reads series—where we dig into Southern literature, true stories, overlooked gems, and the occasional strange, unforgettable find. No pretension, no fluff—just great books and better conversation. Once a month, I’ll host a live Bookhouse session on Discord to talk through the pick, swap thoughts, and hear your take.
- Bourbon & Smoke Chats – Monthly live sessions on Discord (with your drink of choice in hand) where we unwind, swap ideas, and talk bourbon, cigars, travel, and whatever else the conversation drifts toward.
The Hidden Pine Lodge will evolve, and you will play a key role in making it what it is.
Whether fly fishing in a cold mountain stream, planning your next backcountry trek, researching an old legend, or just pouring a bourbon and tuning in—The Hidden Pine Lodge is here to feed that quiet fire in your chest.
No politics or religion here. Just people doing cool shit.
Come on in. Your chair is waiting.
