Field Ethos Journal

Through rich content across platforms in print, online, film, social media and conversations on the Field Ethos podcast, we’re making you, our audience, the story tellers.

This is Field Ethos.

Most people see me as a businessman, a figure in the political world and a family man. While I certainly love all of these things I also felt the need to work on a passion project in the world of hunting, fishing and adventure.

Myself along with several friends launched Field Ethos Journal as a small business dedicated to telling the stories of time in the field. Our brand focuses on the things that truly matter to us: the places we go, the people we meet, the cultures we experience, the adventures that lie in wait for anyone willing to take a step into the unknown and the global successes of conservation that preserve all of these things for generations to come. 

I hope you’ll follow along and even take part in what we’re doing. Life’s greatest adventures are ahead of us all.

Dayna Monroe recently completed her first course with Sheepdog Response.  She joins the podcast to detail her experience.

Sheepdog Response

Sheepdog Response was founded by Green Beret, Special Forces, Sniper, and former top 5 UFC Middleweight, Tim Kennedy. Tim was also the co-star of Hunting Hitler on the History Channel, and more recently, Hard To Kill, on the Discovery Channel.

People face threats of violence every day, ranging from large-scale terrorism to one-on-one assaults. Most people are unprepared, unequipped, and untrained to respond effectively. This weakness in the flock allows the wolves to attack with great ease and success.

The answer is not more laws. The wolves don’t follow them. We must give the good guys the tools they need to effectively respond to violence. The more Sheepdogs we can train to be truly ready to respond to a mass shooting, terrorist attack, violent mugging or home invasion, the better the chances are that the bad guys will get what they deserve and the good guys will survive. Most people sign up for martial arts or weapons training expecting to learn realistic self-defense, and few get it…

We have developed a curriculum that addresses the skills you need to successfully respond to threats.

Daniel Colloms is in town for a local archery tournament.  Be sure to listen to find out his setup for tournament archery, as well as what other pros are using successfully.

Hiking late spring in the high country of Colorado can be a challenging mix of fast running stream crossings, post holing through snow, freezing temperatures at night, and t-shirt weather during the day.  This makes gear selection a challenge.  Aron, Frank, David, and Kevin Estella talk about their recent adventure (or misadventure into the backcountry) and what gear they brought, as well as what they would have changed based on the conditions.

Kevin Estella is a well versed outdoor survivalist/author and instructor at Fieldcraft Survival.

Rod Jenkins joins the podcast to discuss shooting basics and the importance of shot process.  Also discussed in this episode...the clicker.

Rod Jenkins is an archer that has always examined and explored the technical aspects of shooting technique. Through decades of experience and research he has acquired a wealth of knowledge to share on form as well as the mental side of the shot. Rod is not only a good shooter; he has the unique ability to transfer his knowledge to others and inspire them to work toward their goals. This is the mark of a great coach, Rod doesn’t try to force his students into a single one size fits all mold and nothing gives him greater pleasure than to see his students improve and excel.

From Alone:

CLAY HAYES

Hometown: Milton, FL

Profession: Professional Bowyer & Hunter

Clay Hayes has been a lifelong student of the woods. Growing up in the rural pine woods of northwest Florida, he honed the skills in hunting, fishing and trapping that would serve him for the rest of his life. He has always been drawn to hunter/gatherer cultures and the self-reliant lifestyle they embody. As a child in the Florida backwoods, he practiced the primitive skills he admired in those self-reliant cultures and dreamed of someday living a similar life in the Rocky Mountains.

Those childhood dreams eventually led him into a career as a wildlife biologist, where he got to work in some of the most remote and beautiful landscapes in the lower 48. But despite investing seven years of college and ten years in the job, his true passion was always primitive and traditional archery. In 2017, he left the biology career behind to focus on teaching primitive bow building and archery through online videos and in-person classes.

Since building his first successful bow in 1999, Clay has introduced tens of thousands of people to traditional and primitive archery through his books, magazine articles and online videos.

Clay lives with his wife Liz and two sons, Coye and Fen, on their homestead in North Idaho. Together they hunt, fish, forage and grow a large garden. Raising their two boys in close connection with the earth, with a practical understanding of nature and a sense of self-reliance, is important to both Clay and Liz.

Here are the ten items Clay selected to bring on his survival journey to Grizzly Mountain:

1. Sleeping bag

2. Pot

3. Axe

4. Saw

5. Multitool

6. Bow and arrows

7. Paracord

8. Fishing line and hooks

9. Snare wire

10. Ferro rods

World Archery Champion, Dewayne Martin, joins the podcast to discuss how he prepares for competition.

Much needed info in this episode if you're planning on backpacking this summer and prepping gear for the season.

Hunting and fishing are forms of outdoor recreation as are hiking, rock climbing, biking, and 4-wheeling. Not everyone however, participates in outdoor recreation activities but those that do are often passionate about their involvement.

Bowhunters can probably be characterized as one of the more passionate groups of outdoor enthusiasts. We dearly love the outdoors and the wild things that reside within it. We are a diverse and extended family who regards bow hunting as a perfect union of man and the natural world. Our love for bow hunting and the scenes that accompany the privilege can only be understood by those that relish the environs as deeply as we do. We are literally drawn to nature…autumn arriving like a golden chariot piercing the pure air and azure sky on contrails of yesterday’s dreams and tomorrow’s promises. Our treks into the tall grasses and deep forest quench an ancient urge that others cannot apprehend. Yet, defeating our quarry isn't nearly as important as having had the opportunity to be among them… having had the opportunity to be part of something greater than ourselves.

There are those however, that totally disregard our passion for the outdoors and are financially motivated to take those freedoms from us. Organizations like HSUS, PETA, and others are determined to destroy hunting starting with archers…and will go to any means to accomplish their goals.

If you bowhunt in Colorado and are not currently a member of the CBA ... please consider joining today. We need your support to protect the privilege so many enjoy. Here are some other reasons to join:
