The Faces Behind ColdStrike

Hello there! We are the Clark Family, just your average family that loves to hunt together! We have chosen to brave the mountains with our kids and this is our journey.

Our story began in 2016 when I saw the love my kids had for hunting!

On this journey we hope to teach you how to include your kids in all things hunting as well as teach you how we do things around here! Everyone does things a little differently so we hope you might pick up a thing or two + we'd love to hear from you as well!

We are so grateful that you decided to be a part of this journey and continue to support us as we grow!

After two hunting seasons of frustration, we put our heads together, got to work, and here we are today. Our goal was to serve the families that brave the mountains together with gear that will last through many hunts and several kids!

I'm Dustin, the leader of the pack. My love for hunting began when I was a kid. I loved going hunting with my dad and brother. later in life, some buddies at work introduced me to the hound hunting world.

I got my first hound shortly before Amanda and I got married and the rest is history as far as hunting with dogs goes! I get excited for snow and I love being on the mountain.

My favorite thing is when my family joins me on a hunt. I love being able to teach them why hunting is necessary and how to be good outdoorsmen.

Hi, I'm Amanda, the mama bear of this pack! Speaking of bears, I dislike the cold so you generally won't find me on the mountain in the winter with Dustin. I am the housewife at home in survival mode with the four crazies!

I love to chase bears in the spring and summer months with the kids! Camping and hiking are two loves of mine + there is nothing more amazing than seeing a bear in a tree.

I love working out, smoothies, and Oreos dipped in Peanut Butter! I am always trying to find new healthy recipes that my kids will love as well.

Hello, I'm Kenna and you'll find me with this face in most photos! I'm a daddy's girl through and through, but like my mom... I don't love the cold!

I am an animal lover and my favorite thing to do is ride horses! I also enjoy spending some time at our friend's house in Tropic riding mules!

One of my favorite things to do is hang out with my friends!

I started hunting with my dad a couple years ago and loved it! Now, I hate it when I get left behind!

Hey there, I'm Ella and I love to give hugs! My family has actually deemed me the best hugger of all time! I am super friendly and love to meet new people and make new friends!

I am awesome at gymnastics! I have been doing it since I was almost five years old. My mom calls me a brick because I am small, but very strong!

I also like to hide around the house and scare people as they walk past. My mom is the best one to scare because I can get her every time!

I love playing with all of my cousins and my siblings. Sometimes I pick on them until they scream, but I'm working on that!

My name is Jack Dustin Clark, but they call me "Nasty!" A nickname my daddy gave me before I was even born and I quickly embraced it even though my mom hasn't! Now I introduce myself like that to everyone, including the people in every, drive through.

I eat, sleep, and breathe all things hunting. My mom thinks I morph into some crazy quiet kid while hunting! We can't scare the "amimals" away!

One time I got car sick in the truck and puked all down the side of it, but I did not want to go home! I toughed it out so I could hunt all day with my dad.

This year I got to go with my dad and uncles to help my Grandpa hunt for his deer on the Paunsaugunt.

Hiya, I'm Khloe, aka "Sneaky Sweet!" I'm the spunk of this clan and I keep my mom and dad on their toes!

I love to play hunting with Jack everyday while sisters are at school. I'm usually the animal while Jack pretends to hunt me!

This year I went to bear camp with the family and I loved it! We spent a lot of time in the truck and I asked a lot of questions. Mainly, "When are we going back to camp." I love to play at camp and get as dirty as I want!

I also love going outside and petting our dogs... except for when they tip me over in the snow!

I am good at making messes and equally as good at cleaning them up! don't worry, one day my love for cleaning might disappear!

I keep everyone hopping + always laughing with my spunky attitude!

Thanks so much for being here!
