Welcome to the VET S.O.S. Network, where we bring you powerful conversations that help veterans, service members, and their families thrive beyond the uniform. In this episode of the Military Transition Resources Show, hosts Shawn Welsh and Keith Cassant sit down with Gene Campbell, founder of True Patriot Outfitters and host of the Double S Podcast.

Gene’s journey from a 20+ year IT career and youth coaching to launching a nonprofit focused on outdoor recreational therapy is nothing short of inspiring. His story begins with volunteering at an event for Purple Heart recipients—a life-changing week that sparked the creation of True Patriot Outfitters, an organization dedicated to helping veterans and first responders heal through kayak fishing, hiking, and camping.

Discover how “fishing with a mission” provides more than recreation—it builds camaraderie, fosters mental health, and creates a safe space for veterans to recharge. Gene also shares insights into nationwide outreach, collaborations, and why structured outdoor recreation is a powerful tool for veteran support.
