How to up your game with dry-aging wild meat. In this episode I get to meet Matthew Ochoa (@rockyred86 on Instagram). Matthew is a dry-age meat magician and we talk about some preliminary ideas on how and why to dry age your own wild game at home...or not. At the end of the show, I introduce a new segment called “Guide Tales” and share perhaps my most memorable story from days spent professionally guiding on Great Slave Lake in the Northwest Territories, Canada.

A few Spring days were spent in Bear Camp while filming another episode of "From The Wild" with Jeff Senger and Kevin Kossowan. There is a pretty strong vegetarian vibe in this episode as we explore Fiddleheads and Marsh Marigold, Fireweed, and other edible plants from the northern Boreal forest. From salads and broths to braise liquids and cocktail ingredients, there is so much to learn about the herbs and plants that add variety to our wild diet. Excited to have you along again on my wild Food Afield journey! Jeff gets a little colourful with his language describing things, but that is what we love about him! When Jeff gets rolling, just hit record and stay out of the way. lol

In this episode, I am back on the set of the award-nominated series “From The Wild” with Kevin Kossowan and Jeff Senger. We are camped in the boreal forest of northern Alberta hunting Black Bear. One night, after getting back from a successful hunt, we were enjoying some drinks in the wall tent around the wood stove and we got to talking about taboo meats and some other meat-related topics. In the back audio, you can hear the fire crackling in the wood stove. In camp the next day, Kevin goes through the process of preparing a beautiful dish, Braised Rabbit in Garlic Cream! The From the Wild video series can be found at www.fromthewild.ca

I get the chance to sit in Blair's restaurant RGE RD in Edmonton. RGE RD is one of Canada's top restaurants and Blair has a special focus on "untamed cuisine". We have a couple of laughs reliving last November's memorable Whitetail hunt on our farm, where he knocked over his first big game animal. Listen all the way to the end to catch Blair's invaluable advice on properly preparing venison and what to drink with it!

2022 Update. This was the second episode ever...and it shows! I cannot believe how much I've improved. A combination of better gear and technique. Still though, the content is good. Blair is a gold mine of culinary information!
