GULF COAST

A field guide to the Gulf Coast: seafood shacks and dive bars, writers and cigar makers, secret beaches and salty small towns. Inside Wildsam Gulf Coast, you'll find stories from prize-winning writers, past and present; a detailed road trip plan and profiles of 10 idyllic towns; interviews with historians, mermaid performers, fishing guides and photographers; delightful miscellany from the archives, selective recommendations about authentic Gulf Coast experiences and a deep dive into the work, culture and recipes revolving around seafood.     Presented by Duck Camp. Duck Camp, much like Wildsam, is centered on getting people out to the wildest places. They make quality, elements-tested gear centered on getting out there. From base layers to rainwear to waders, products are designed to be worn, enjoyed and handed down to generations of outdoorspeople to come. A perfect compliment to the marshes, swamps, and coastal plains of the Gulf Coast.
