(video above) We hiked the Middlesex Fells Reservation trails and heard the sound of an angry bee colony – which turned out to be a drone. Kind drone owner granted our request to film us as the drone flew up!

... Why "RoadKill" ?
My brand is “outdoors exploration” and a Davy Crockett hat symbolizes it. Local entrepreneur Pamela Paquin featured in the Boston Dig promoting her “Accidental Fur” or “Ethical Fur” – euphemisms for roadkill; rather than leaving pelts to rot and destruction, Pamela certifies roadkill through State Fish & Game authorities. She processes the salvaged pelts and uses them to create accessories like hats and mittens;
turning roadkill into fashion.
In 2014, a handsome raccoon did not survive
crossing Highway 30, near Newfane, VT.
His gorgeous pelt still keeps me warm,
and my brand cool.
