Brian Flynn has dedicated over 18 years to the U.S. Army and Department of Defense, both as a Soldier and a civilian. While serving with the Army's 5th Special Forces Group, he trained in military mountaineering and discovered a love for rugged landscapes. Brian's experience transitioning out of military life, and his strong connection to the healing power of the outdoors led him to form Two Wolf Foundation. This new non-profit is dedicated to promoting post-traumatic growth, healing, and purpose in the lives of combat veterans and first responders through service-based land stewardship programs and conservation projects. The transition to civilian life is never easy. Two Wolf Foundation makes it easier by helping veterans find new purpose and community in caring for wild places.

What is our microbiome and what does it do for us? As it turns out, everything! Humans couldn't survive without microbes in our body. From regulating our immune system and metabolism, to producing serotonin and maintaining mental health, a healthy gut microbiome is the key to a healthy body. This week, I'm chatting with Dr. Catherine Moring. Catherine has an impressive number of letters after her name. She's a licensed dietician and expert in diabetes care, who started a wellness center, online diabetes coaching program, and private nutrition practice. From physical pain and inflammation to depression and anxiety, Catherine feels that eating healthy, whole foods will quickly lead to healing.

Jordan Budd has now been on every type of sheep hunt North America has to offer. Last August, she killed a Dall sheep in Alaska. Dall sheep hunting requires a tremendous amount of mental and physical toughness, and this hunt took that to the extreme. Jordan’s hunt showcased the worst weather her guide had ever seen, resulting in days spent alone in a tent. The terrain was steep and nearly shredded her boots, and the pack out was grueling. But she stuck it out and got the job done. In this episode, Jordan relives her Dall sheep hunt. This story will either help you realize that this type of experience isn’t for you, or make you want a Dall sheep more than ever.

Oregon Hunters Association (OHA) is dedicated to protecting Oregon’s wildlife, habitat, and hunting heritage. As Oregon's largest state centric hunting organization, OHA works closely with Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, and other groups to protect the interests of hunters and trappers. This week, I'm joined by Amy Patrick, OHA's Policy Director. Amy works tirelessly advocating for Oregon hunters. In this episode, we discuss some of the big issues she's facing, such as IP13, trapping beavers, and wolves, that have the most potential to impact Oregon hunters.

A lot of people romanticize the idea of becoming a SEAL— they don't know what it takes to get there. It's years of training before you're even operational. Payden Armstrong is one of the few people who's lived through that experience. As a former SEAL himself, Payden walks me through what it took to join SEAL Team 3, as well as some of his deployments. Now Payden is a co-founder of the companies Norden Knives and Norden Outdoors. We discuss gear and how to innovate a tool that's been used for thousands of years.

Andrei Stsiapanau's story is absolutely incredible. He was born and raised in Belarus, which was a part of the Soviet Union at the time.  As a child, Andrei lived just 70 miles as the crow flies  from the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, and was only 2 when the worst nuclear disaster in history, both in cost and casualties, struck. At the age of 7, he watched the fall of the Soviet Union. All through elementary and middle school, Andrei had to wear a device that measured and monitored his internal body radiation. Now, living the American Dream here in the states as an electrical engineer and contractor,  his life and access to hunting looks very different than it once did. A lot of people have been asking me to share my opinion on the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and at this point in time, I feel like I don't yet know enough to say. So, I wanted to have Andrei on the show to share his life experiences and feelings about what's happening right now. To give us all a little more context and insight into the places and people that are living through this war.

Dr. Brian Tallerico has been a practicing orthopedic surgeon for the past 20 years. He also served as a surgeon in the Navy and has seen his fair share of medical trauma. Brian has spent the past 15-20 years hunting international game, often in rugged, hostile environments. So often, hunters will spend money and time on equipment and training to up their game, but they don't put enough value on buying a proper med kit and knowing how to use it. Brain wants hunters and outdoorsman to be prepared for any medical emergency with a good kit and some knowledge, so that they can save their hunt from ending early, or, more importantly, save a life. That's why he created Safari Medic, a company that sells med kits tailored to fit your personal needs and environments. If you're going to go on a hunt of a lifetime, don't let it end early if you can help it.
