Eustis Brothers Launch Podcast to Share Their Passion for Conservation and the Great Outdoors
Jordan & Will Crebs
For almost four years, brothers Will and Jordan Crebs have been sharing personal stories about their wilderness experiences while bolstering their commitment to Florida conservation on their weekly, veteran-run podcast “Under Pressure Outdoors” (UPO).
“Our passion for hunting and fishing came from our dad, and after joking around about doing a podcast, it occurred to me that we could actually do something positive and productive,” Will says.
The brothers and a cast of local characters have used the “UPO Nation” platform to educate the public about conservation, while also spending hundreds of hours raising money for multiple organizations.
“We like to help others who are interested in getting into the outdoors, and it helps that there are so many amazing Florida resources that we can harvest and consume,” Jordan says.
Speaking of consuming, on their website, they include an array of recipes that enhance the fish and game that they harvest.
Other conservation activities include the UPO Wood Duck Nesting Box Initiative, Suwanee River Fishing Expedition and garbage tonnage removal from the Ocala National Forest, which they completed March-May 2021.
Another passion project is the Mudbug Bash, which raises money for 10CAN (the Christian Adventure Network), a faith-based organization that serves military and first-responders with a goal of curing PTSD and preventing suicide.
But with all they give back, conservation is still their number one passion.
“Conservation is doing our part to give back to the resource more than we take from it in order to ensure it lasts in a sustainable and healthy manner for future generations,” Will says.
