Welcome to the ManAlive Fire gatherings in Conway, AR, where the only expectation is that you show up as yourself—no fronts, no performances, no need to impress. If you’ve been to a ManAlive Expedition, you know the kind of honesty and ease we’re talking about. If you haven’t, picture a place just outside the everyday grind: a warm fire, a few good men, and space to say what’s on your heart—or say nothing at all. This is the spot where stories flow naturally, hunts get recapped, and plans get made without anyone keeping score. It’s a break from the hustle, right here in central Arkansas. Just a short drive from downtown Conway, you’ll find us waiting by the flames.
Bring a Chair, Bring Yourself: Think of it like a comfortable tailgate: you provide your own seat, your own drink, and maybe a snack. There’s no potluck stress—though if you’ve got an extra jerky stick or something local to share, no one’s going to complain.
Unhurried Conversation: Whether it’s recounting that last duck hunt off the Arkansas River, talking through how you’re balancing work and family, or just listening—no one’s keeping score. This is your chance to settle in and breathe.
A Safe, Familiar Setting: Some nights it’s just quiet laughter, other nights it might get real and deep. Either way, it’s always genuine. The same spirit you felt at a ManAlive Expedition stands here—just a few rules, same structure, and the freedom to truly relax.
