The First Responder Community always will be near and dear to us, and many times in the past we have shed light on our first responders through this show; tying in to our love and passion for the outdoors. However this episode hits a little closer to home. Joined by guest Gray Schneider from the Season of Stories organization (S.O.S.), our host Sam shares a mutual connection to Gray through a North Texas Firefighter named Wade Cannon. Wade passed away in 2022 from occupational colon cancer at the age of 31; leaving Gray and others with a burning passion to take action. Inspired by Wade, Gray and other's love for the outdoors, Season of Stories is a project that will initially take us on an adventure across North America this fall in dozens of waterfowl hunting camps with industry influencers using heirloom gear and a leather journal documenting the memories we all live and breathe for. The proceeds of S.O.S.'s project are dedicated to the mission of ensuring pre-cancer health screenings for as many first responders as possible. Tune in and hear the inspiring origins to this project, as Gray and Sam take us from start to finish through the story of Wade Cannon and the legacy that follows him.
