Good food. Good projects. Real life.

Hey, I’m Jason.

Welcome to Surviving Dad Life. This is where I share my love of cooking, cocktails, the outdoors, projects, and family—figuring it out as we go.

Here you’ll find recipes to try, videos from the channel, and projects to follow along with. From the smoker and griddle to the workshop and the water, there’s always something to make, fix, or figure out.

Make yourself at home
