About Hunter X Bambino
Launched on Father’s Day June 19th, 2022 with love overflowing in my heart for my 8 year old boy Orlando Jonah Campbell. We will be together again Orlando, but until then, hang in there, you’ve found the spirit of your dad right here.

The deep earthy orange color palette chosen for HunterXBambino represents the hope and inspiration I feel inside as I create this project. Change is powerful, change is inevitable, change is about adaptation.
It was the day after Halloween 2021 when my son and I were last together absent the current obstructions. Autumn was upon us figuratively speaking, little did we know how hard people would try to separate us.
In autumn, the brilliant tones of maple leaves departing from their branches are a sign of seasonal changes that happens in a never ending cycle of death and then renewal. In the North, the crispness in the air before winter arrives is refreshing but hints at the bitterness of winter just around the corner.
There is a season for all things, so take heart my boy, for …”this too shall pass” and better times will come.

The bold, elegant, pleasant yet assertive confidence of the headline font used throughout HunterXBambino signifies the spirit required to go through this life with unrelenting principles in the face of adversity.
Personal & playful handwritten font style used here in all paragraph text represents the joy and honesty with which the body of the content on these pages is formed.

Continuous movement, fluidity, the unexpected changes in direction and rate of change are symbolic of the nature of life at it’s core.
We control nothing, we may only align with what is, and find peace in knowing that we are part of something much greater than what is observable through our filtered human experience.
Any attempt to control others is futile and goes against nature, which is the Tao. Freedom will reign in the end.

Music on the site is uplifting, epic and inspires perseverance. These are all for you my dear. I hope they make you feel what I feel. I listen to them constantly.
Mission Statement
To remain bonded with my one & only son, despite how life’s circumstances currently hinder us from being together as we once were.
The Vision
HunterXBambino is a project for you my son. It is a collection of sign posts pointing to a sturdy bridge of wisdom that comes from personal experiences, and continues to be reinforced with time. My intention is to provide a guided path to help you navigate this journey of life better because it has many twists and turns, dangerous cliffs and slippery slopes to avoid, but is also filled with wonderful sights to see, people to meet and adventures to have with them. I look forward to having many of these experiences with you once you are fully free to choose your own path. Cheers to this vision of a freedom filled future for you. I believe in you and think of you every day.

For Dads & Boys Who Miss Each Other
This website represents a glimpse of hope for things to come. Just like with the subtle signs of spring time where the seeds planted in the fall have taken root and begin to break through the surface. In time, our seeds become what they are destined to be. We will do well to water them appropriately and do it to the very best of our ability, then take a step back and give them room to grow. There is ancient wisdom in this which can guide us all. The most powerful resource I’ve ever come across in my life can be found here in the book Tao Te Ching and is widely available in various other formats.
I find great joy in watching an idea envisioned long before it manifests, finally come into sight on the horizon. This site is about and for my son Orlando Jonah Campbell, and my love for him, but it is also about and for all fathers who have lost access to their boys for one reason or another, and for every boy who is without a dad nearby for some portion of their journey.
Use HunterXBambino as a helpful resource map to find what you need most while you are walking your P.A.T.H.
