3: Stories About Camping - Part I (ft. Isaac)

This week on Story Traders, Caleb and Josiah welcome their longtime friend Isaac—who comes prepared with plenty of wild stories of his own. Together, the trio takes a hilarious and nostalgic trip through past adventures, proving once again that the best stories come from unexpected moments.
 
Caleb kicks things off with a legendary Yellowstone mishap involving bear spray—because what’s a national park visit without a little self-inflicted chaos? Josiah follows up with the tale of a late-night campground setup in New York that turned into an exhausting (and slightly ridiculous) challenge.
 
But the real highlight? Isaac brings back the memory of that same New York trip, where he and Caleb conspired to get Josiah to make an important phone call to a girl… from the top of a mountain. Let’s just say, peer pressure and high altitudes make for a story worth telling.
 
And just when they think they’re done, one last adventure surfaces—a canoe excursion that led to some epic drone-shot Instagram pictures, proving that even the simplest trips can turn into unforgettable moments.
 
Packed with adventure, laughs, and the kind of memories that only close friends can create, this episode of Story Traders is one for the books!

2: Stories About Our Bachelor Parties

In this episode of Story Traders, Caleb and Josiah take a trip down memory lane to relive their unforgettable bachelor parties—each chaotic in its own way.
 
Josiah kicks things off with the wild tale of his bachelor party, proving that even a group of mostly homeschooled groomsmen can get way out of hand when firecrackers are involved. What started as a seemingly tame celebration turned into a night full of unexpected chaos, leaving Josiah questioning how they all made it out in one piece.
 
Caleb follows up with stories from his own bachelor party and a realization that hit him years after his wedding—one that adds a surprising twist to his celebration. As the brothers swap stories, they quickly realize that their groomsmen—almost identical between both weddings—had a knack for making things both memorable and mildly ridiculous.
 
With plenty of laughter, embarrassing moments, and a few lessons learned along the way, this episode is all about brotherhood, friendship, and the unpredictable nature of pre-wedding celebrations.

From childhood antics to moments of quiet wisdom, Caleb paints a picture of a brother who knew what mattered most (even if it meant counting every penny).
But Josiah doesn’t hold back either. He dives into Caleb’s unwavering determination when it comes to finishing projects—whether they were necessary or not—along with some tales of Caleb’s unique sense of humor, including the unforgettable birthday cards he’s written over the years.
