\"YUDU:<\/a>

YUDU, as in “What did you do this weekend”? Get it?<\/p><\/div>\n

YUDU Outdoors <\/a>is a new social media destination for outdoor enthusiasts. \u00a0At NRA 2017, we got a chance to talk to the guys behind this innovative project.<\/p>\n

Basically, they wanted to create an online environment where gun-friendly and pro-hunting people could virtually gather and communicate free of judgment, free of ridicule and free of all the B.S. we see today on the established social media outlets.<\/p>\n

I mean, let’s face it. \u00a0Over the years Facebook has devolved into a cesspool for hoplophobes, trolls, snowflakes, P.C. police, nannystaters\u00a0and other chuckleheads who have made becoming outraged a national pastime.<\/p>\n

So, the gentlemen of YUDU — Brian Senn, Christopher Merritt and Doug Caver — decided to start a social media destination that would embrace gun owners not vilify them.<\/p>\n

“It is the mission of YUDU Outdoors to connect and grow a community of outdoor enthusiasts by providing a superior social media platform that secures our freedoms while at the same time embracing the core values of Faith, Family, Heritage, Respect, Innovation and Fun,” states the company’s press release. “YUDU is for capturing, sharing, and exploring all that you do outdoors among a friendly and respectful community.”<\/p>\n

The company is launching its mobile app this weekend. \u00a0It’s free to download<\/a>. \u00a0It features an array of\u00a0tools including geo-location\/GPS tracking features, integrated weather, solunar charts and tables to help you not only navigate the great outdoors but to share the experience of being outdoors with all your friends and family.<\/p>\n
