This is a deep, grounded conversation with Bruce McGlenn, founder of Human Nature Hunting, whose life has been shaped by four decades of hunting, ancestral knowledge, and an uncompromising relationship with the land. This episode goes far beyond hunting as a skill or sport and enters the terrain of initiation, masculinity, responsibility, and what it means to participate directly in life and death. Bruce speaks with rare clarity about the psychological and spiritual cost of modern disconnection—from food, from nature, and from our role as participants rather than consumers—and how the hunt restores something ancient and intact within the human nervous system. Drawing from lived experience, not ideology, this conversation explores why so many men feel uninitiated, why comfort has not delivered fulfillment, and how hunting reveals a forgotten way of being human that still lives beneath the surface.
