Her Wild Outdoors

SEASON 3 Begins with a BANG!

Jen Yates and I sat down last year and spoke about how she became the supporter of her husband as he learned how to hunt later in life. We discussed what it was like to not just support him but be able to encourage and grow with him in this new adventure. When asked if she would ever be interested in hunting the answer was not no but it was hesitant on how she would even feel. Turkey was a possibility.

Fast forward one year and here we are with the story of her first hunt. A turkey hunt and I got to be there! Join us as we recap the Michigan Opener of Turkey Season with some tags filled and memories made!

Daniel and I shared a meal of Sandhill Crane this week and in the moment recorded a spur of the moment hang out. Listen in as we talk about cooking wild game, temperatures to cook at, favorite utensils in the kitchen, favorite ingredients and how we can encourage trying new things. This is a fun conversation around a dinner table. Let us know your ideas, loves and suggestions. Thank you Daniel!

Rebeca Granillo and I had a great conversation one evening about fly fishing. Rebeca has a great story of how fly fishing changed her life and how it continues to do so. We also talk about how she is passing that on. It is so refreshing having these chats with people who love the fight and hunt of what we all do in a respectful and honest way. Listen in as we talk about a clubs she has for women in fly fishing in Utah, but also about The Mayfly Project that actually has been spread across our country. 

Kristin and I have been friends for over three years and yet have never met. We have supported each other and conversed but have not hugged each other, YET! Balance is often an issue of conversation but lets add on how we value ourselves and how that impacts our versions of success. As a business owner, leader, coach and teacher Kristin has done a great job of figuring out how to balance life. Now we aren't always perfect and we discuss that as well, but enjoy this candid conversation about that journey! Join us and let us know how you have walked that journey.

Jess is from Washington State. She found herself on an adventure of a year of outdoors adventures and building skills that would be beneficial for survival and the outdoors. She wrote Field Notes of 52 weeks of REWILDING! What I am sure she did not see coming was a complete shift in mind, body and spirit. Join us for this conversation how she not only grew herself but has inspired others to join in on this adventure through classes some pretty amazing people teach! 

This hunt was an intense hunt that lasted days on the east of the Bob Marshall Wilderness. This episode is the conversation mid hunt about how we had hunted so far. The things we were learning coming from the Eastern United States. The things I was emptying out of my pack hahaha as the week wore on. Driving from Tennessee to Montana and back I will say this was not a vacation it was work, hard work and worth it! I would go back in a heartbeat and I just may with my wolf tag I still need to fill. Thank you Jess and Keegan for taking me and Sam on as we toughen it out and pushed forward. I will never forget it.

Raylene joins the podcast to chat about Ditale Outdoors and how the passion for the outdoors and passion for all women in our community to be fitted correctly with her clothing. Listen in to who...aka over a thousand women, have had a say so in decisions along the way. How did this idea come to fruition? How difficult is it to stick to your standard of quality and how important is it to have a multitude of sizes. Listen to Raylene's history in the outdoors and the story of her first archery buck. IT is not one to miss! Thank you for listening and supporting Her Wild Outdoors!

William and I sat down and chatted about everything from getting shot as a 15 year old hunting turkeys all the way through his years as a Navy Seal and onto CBD and his Get NAKED mindset for his way out of a negative headspace. How do you recover? Mentally and physically? How do you set yourself up for success?

You have heard how CBD has worked for my family and me listen to his mission and his WHY! We all need our focus to be set. Take the time to listen and respect where William has come from and why he works so very hard with a passion to reach those in the military especially to recover mentally, emotionally and physically. 

Thank you William!

Today, our conversation is with Linda White. She resides in the northeast part of the States where she was a self proclaimed city girl! Instead of listening to those who had only one thought on trapping she ended up doing actual research and got to know a real trapper and the real reasons behind trapping. Linda is an educator and a passionate trapper who wants to bring light about the "red headed step child" of the outdoor community to the world. Listen in as we all grow in support for those who are a huge part of the outdoors. Trappers are land managers, habitat savers and animal conservationists. My world was opened up during this podcast and I believe yours will too. 

Dayna and I met at TAC here in Tennessee back in the early part of the summer. We chatted about getting a podcast on the books and it took us until now with both of our schedules and boy am I glad we did. Listen in as we talk about how archery had a huge impact on her life then became even so much more. We talk about how important the community has been to her. How inclusive and involved they are. Having a TRIBE is everything even if it is a small group. Thank you Dayna!
