Final Approach Podcast

Oregon, USA – Mario Friendy: this episode of the FA Podcast has us in a bit of a bind. The Covid19 virus is ramping up and staying home is asked of everyone. We talk to Brad Fenson—outdoor writer and definitely a survivalist on how he is spending his time and what we all can do to make the time pass in this rough time. We share some laughs, some hunting stories and try to help anyone bored out of their mind at home.
