In this first episode of the show I take the time to express why I believe there is a need for at least one more brand in outdoors media and why I feel I am capable of filling that void. I also get into my background as a sportsman before taking a deep dive into my personal values and morals when it comes to outdoor pursuits and natural resource conservation.

We also get into how health, fitness, and balanced relationships all have a direct impact on our effectiveness as hunters, fishermen, foragers, and wild folk. Lastly, I also touch on the intended format and future of Hunt for Health and discuss what types of content listeners should expect as our first season begins to roll out.

Not everything in this episode is for everyone, and it turns out it's a great representation of what I am all about because of just that. I know challenging long standing norms within the culture you love is never gonna make you the most popular guy in the woods. But bringing up largely unspoken issues and pushing sportsmen and women to better themselves is going to be a part of what we do here. As long as it's done while having fun and helping remind people how to enjoy their time engaged in the activities they love, it'll always be worth catching a little flack here and there as the guy that is sticking his neck out. I can promise this: I will always speak for the sake of the future of consumptive outdoor recreation and the preservation of the lifestyles these passions foster which we all cherish so very much.

Life guidance and sporting advice from a mediocre outdoorsman. Hunt for Health explores what is possible when we engage the landscape as stewards of our local ecology, work hard with what resources are at our disposal to excel at our craft, attempt to treat all life both taken and sustained with equal respect, and work to unravel the meaning of our relationships with wild foods and wild spaces as they are today... All the while improving our health in mind, body, and spirit.

Healthier, stronger, more connected and resourceful humans used to be a natural outcome of participating in outdoor activities such as hunting, fishing, foraging, gardening, and woodsmanship. Today, health and the outdoors lifestyle are several steps removed from one another. Ironically, when we improve our quality of life in other areas, the success rates and overall quality of our outdoor pursuits both inevitably improve.

Hunt for Health aims to bring leading a value-based lifestyle that improves the quality of our relationships back into the forefront of our focus as consumptive participants in our local ecosystems.
