Each week, the Brannen Family and their guests remind us that spending time together in nature gives us the opportunity to make memories that last a lifetime."

Aaron's Outdoors, on air since 2005, follows the Brannen Family as they explore the great outdoors. The family consists of Jarrod, Leanne, and their 5 children - Cole, Hatcher, Toxey, Grey, and their youngest, a daughter, Mary Blake. The Brannens hunt and fish together and share with their audience how nature teaches many lessons that can be applied to everyday life.
