The Insurgent — Wanted: Dead or Playing Dead | Wolf & Steer
Every farm has one. That shadowy figure who waddles across the trail cam at 2 a.m., raids the cat food, and then — when caught red-handed — flops over like he's been hit by a sniper from three counties away. The possum. Nature's original tactical operator. We gave him the wanted poster he deserves.
The Insurgent reads Wanted: Dead or Playing Dead — because you genuinely cannot tell, and that's the whole point. It's farm humor dressed up in tactical gear, a quiet little joke for anyone who has ever tried to relocate a possum and watched him commit fully to the bit. The design sits front and center, wanted-poster style, clean enough to wear to town and weird enough that the right people will stop you in the grocery aisle to ask about it.
We print The Insurgent on the Bella + Canvas 3001, which is the unisex tee we keep coming back to. It's 100% ring-spun cotton, soft from the first wear, and it holds its shape instead of turning into a sad tent after two washes. The art is applied with direct-to-garment printing, so the ink soaks into the fibers — no heavy plastic feel, no cracked letters six months in. Just a shirt that looks like the shirt you bought.
Who it's for
This one's for the farm-humor crowd, the tactical-gear folks with a sense of humor about themselves, and anyone whose group chat has at least one possum meme pinned. It makes a solid gift for a homesteader, a hunter, a dad who reads trail-cam reports like the evening news, or the friend who insists possums are "actually really useful, did you know they eat ticks?" (They do. He's right.)

A note from the farm
Wolf & Steer is a small family operation on 30 acres in Ithaca, Michigan. We run Scottish Highland cattle, mini cows, goats, and — whether we like it or not — a rotating cast of possums. Every shirt in our Season 1 lineup started as an inside joke around the kitchen table before it became a design. The Insurgent is probably the most accurate to daily farm life. The possums really are always there. They really do play dead. They really are out here running a long con on all of us, and we respect it.
Shipping
Because every shirt is made to order, production takes about 2–5 business days before your order ships. Nothing sits in a warehouse collecting dust. Your Insurgent is printed for you, packed, and sent on its way from whichever US facility is closest. If sizing doesn't work out, reach out — we're real people and we'll help you sort it.
Pair it with The Crest, the Tactical Highland, or Barry the Goat for the full Wolf & Steer roll call. Or wear it solo and let the possum do the talking. He's good at it.
