We welcome Daniel Vitalis onto the pod today and might I just say stoke level is pretty high! Daniel is a forager, registered Maine Guide, writer, public speaker, interviewer, and lifestyle pioneer who is deeply passionate about helping others reconnect with wildness, both inside and outside of themselves. After learning to hunt, fish, and forage as an adult, Daniel created WildFed; a show, podcast, and lifestyle brand that integrates hunting, fishing, foraging, and ecology with nutrition, cooking, community, and outdoor adventure. 

 

"WildFed on its face is about food, but beneath the surface of that, it's about a lot more. It's about how we are in relationship with wild species and wild places." -  Daniel Vitalis

 

Daniel and Mason discuss:

-Daniel's WildFed food philosophy.

-The importance of becoming enmeshed into your ecosystem and utilising your local food shed.

-The hunting, gathering, collecting and foraging of wild foods.

-Staying grounded and undogmatic in your approach to living consciously, sustainably and in harmony with the earth.

-Applying traditional hunter gather philosophy and practice to modern day life.

-The significance of developing a relationship to the earth and to the species that inhabit it, especially in our modern era of artificial intelligence and disconnect.
