Chris and Kevin Harlander, Community Manger for First Lite, talk about how to avoid Monkey Butt, blisters, over heating (hyperthermia) and hypothermia by dressing properly in the field.

There is no doubt that houndsmen have a need for high performance clothes. We live extreme performance lives and need gear that can stand up to the elements and perform to meet the challenges of houndsmanship. 

First Lite is a technical clothing company that offers high performance clothing for the most serious outdoorsman and woman. This podcast will be a break from the traditional thinking of clothing for the houndsman that has been dominated for decades by cotton canvas and briar proof plastic clothing. Kevin lays out his thoughts on a complete high performance kit, explains the properties of high performance materials and the value they have in the field. Chris throws in his first hand experiences wearing First Lite as his primary hunting clothes for the last few years.

Lee Currens is one of the best-known personalities in the wide world of coonhounds. Noted for his big-winning Treeing Walkers at major coonhound shows, Currens is a strong proponent of dual-purpose hounds that hunt as good as they look. 
Growing up on a central Kentucky dairy farm, Currens developed a skill set for showing livestock early on with his family’s registered Jersey cattle. Always taking pride in the animals he presented, the transition to coonhound showing and winning big while doing so, was an easy transition. 

In this interview Chris and Steve cover myriad subjects with Currens including coon hunting as a boy on the Kentucky River, attending early competition hunts, meeting and hunting with many of coon hunting’s most famous personalities, John Monroe, Elmer Harrod and Billy Stinson to name a few, and his involvement in building foundations of popular strains of Treeing Walkers that endure today. Lee discusses his commitment to never hunt an ugly dog. Perhaps his crowning achievement is revealed in discussions about his mentoring several young people into the lifestyle. 

The interview spotlights a side of the guest that his extensive exposure as a show person has not revealed before. Currens’ experience with, and knowledge of hunting with hounds supersedes his many accomplishments in the show rings. His winsome personality, understanding of hounds and his longstanding involvement as an extreme houndsman is all here to enjoy in this episode.
