On this week's episode, Matty gets interviewed on his Friend Isaak Hyde’s Podcast.

The gentlemen go toe to toe in somewhat of a debate on differing opinions on whether you should eat meat or not… and if you do why you should hunt it with a bow and arrow.

The interview actually takes many twists and turns. Including but not limited to: 

• Why Matty hunts 
• You can still love animals and hunt them to 
• Meat processing
• Why meat is healthier than plant based alternatives 
• Going vegan still kills animal 
• Differing perspectives to show a vegetarian why his may of thinking might be somewhat backwards
• Hunters saved African wild life

And much, much more.

Imagine doing a job and getting paid to do what you absolutely love doing?

Well, that’s exactly the life Rob and Tracy from The Blonde Nomads have been able to build for themselves. 

What started out as a hobby of capturing the moment while out adventuring… Overtime moulded the life that the Morris family now live and enjoys.

It hasn’t come without hard work, dedication and gambling the comfort provided by regular full-time work and expectations of a “regular life.” 

However Rob, Tracy and the kids now often enjoy family holidaying around Australia. 

If you’re in need of a new family holiday destination, some trusted advice on gear for 4WD, camping or caravanning or travelling with a young family… Fair chance The Blonde Nomads have the content created that you need to see.

Rob being an adventurer and hunter for the majority of his life, it only makes sense that the bowhunting world drew him in. And although green to the space rob has the persistence and humility needed to do great things in bowhunting. 

For the rest of the insights, you’ll have to listen to the full episode.
