“Here comes this caribou and my gun is still in the tent. Caribou season just started. I couldn’t get set up and it was going so fast. I’ve never seen a caribou run that fast. It goes away. And not even five minutes later, we spot another one doing the same thing. And it turns, and comes right towards basecamp.”— Lacey HoffmanThese guests left, and a few hours later, I got a text saying, “Dude, I forgot to mention being charged by a musk ox!”You know you have good stories when you forgot about the musk ox charge. Two of my favorite guests are back on the show today. All the way from Alaska down to the studio in Kentucky, we have Lyn and Lacey Hoffman.If you heard my three hour podcast with them last year, then you know it’s going to be good. Lyn and Lacey show up with a host of stories. Unfortunately they got stuck in a snow storm while traveling down to Louisville, so we didn’t get as much time for chatting as we’d hopped. A few hours after they left, Lyn started texting me, telling me about the musk ox and a whole host of other things he forgot to mention.I love these two. I came home this night and told my wife that it actually makes me sad that I don’t get to see them any more than I do. I see so many people doing things to try and be influencers. But it almost always feels disingenuous. Then you have Lyn and Lacey, who are living the life they want, and as a byproduct, you have inspiration. That, to me, defines being an influencer. They motivate me far more than some platitude written across a sunset photo. To actually chase a dream takes courage. I don’t know anyone who is living a more adventurous life than them. I’ve met a lot of folks through GoWild and they are among my favorite. Their story inspires me. Lyn has been in the hunting industry for years, working as a hunting guid. Despite a highly seasonal career, he sticks with what he loves. Lacey quit her job as a teacher to join Lyn on his trips last year. She packs, transporting hundreds of pounds of meat in bear and wolf country. And they have shaped their entire lifestyle around being mobile, flexible and truly chasing a dream. The duo does a lower 48 tour each year, and I’ve been lucky enough to be a stop on their list for the last three years. For the last two years we’ve done podcasts. This one does not disappoint.Show Notes(I did incorrectly state that Chris Kresser is a doctor. He’s a M.S., L.Ac, which means he has his masters in acupuncture. It’s a 4 year program which focuses on natural health, diet, etc. I am still a huge fan of his, despite misquoting his title.)WSI Hoffman Partnership – Code: LHAK10 gets 10% offInstagramFacebookFind them on GoWild: Lyn Hoffman, Lacey HoffmanSponsored by Houston Safari Club FoundationRestless Native is brought to you by Houston Safari Club Foundation. This organization is a great supporter of hunters and conservation.Last year I got the chance to attend Houston Safari Club Foundation’s Worldwide Hunting Expo & Convention, and I honestly had the time of my life. This family-friendly event celebrates wildlife, wild places and the hunting lifestyle we all love. Thousands of visitors and exhibitors come from all over the WORLD for a three day exposition. One thing that will surprise some of you is the entertainment. Fellow Eagles fans will love this one: Don Felder, renowned as a former lead guitarist of The Eagles, is the entertainment on Friday. Saturday features comedian Tom Papa.One thing I want to mention is what a great opportunity this is to find big game hunts. Obviously the floor is loaded with great outfitters, and another opportunity to score great hunts are the banquets. When you buy a hunt at the banquet, you’re helping raise money for conservation by donating to Houston Safari Club Foundation. Actually, every step of the way raises money for conservation.
