About the host
Hosted by Chris Behm

The Controlled Chaos crew consist of 6 friends who work and ride together for the past 20 years. We all grew up, live and work in the Madison WI area and love getting away to the base camp as much as possible!!
Why they chose this property
We bought this place because of its quiet and peaceful location with direct access to the Black River Falls snowmobile and ATV trail system. Its a great place to hangout and create memories with our families and friends.
What makes this property unique
You truly feel alone and away from the world up here. The stars are awesome at night and you never know what animal will be crossing the back yard next, we love it here!
