About Otter Creek Redneck

Otter Creek is a small rural township in northwest Wisconsin — the kind of place where the nights are quiet, the winters are long, where the people, fields and woods hold stories that deserve telling.

Otter Creek Redneck exists to preserve the quiet moments, hard-earned wisdom, and simple beauty of rural life in northern Wisconsin — through honest storytelling, reflection, and lived experience.

This blog isn’t about trends or headlines. It’s about place, memory, and the simple rhythm of life lived close to the land.

Here, you’ll find reflections from the woods, stories handed down through family, and moments that would otherwise slip past unnoticed. It’s a record of rural life as it is — sometimes hard, often quiet, always honest.

Because these stories matter.
And because someday, they may be all that’s left.

Welcome to Otter Creek.
