Last year, Chris and Ashley spoke with Daniel Winkler and had an awesome conversation about all things mushrooms! We wanted to revisit that conversation now that more activities are opening up and people are getting together and getting outside. The original episode description is below including links to all that was talked about.
We should say this first and foremost NEVER eat anything in the wild unless you are 100% certain of what you are eating.
Chris and Ashley discuss all things Mushrooms with Daniel Winkler. Daniel is a world renowned expert on Mushrooms. He travels to different parts of the world studying mushrooms and guiding mushroom eco-tours. He has written field guides which we find really useful and has been very involved in the Puget Sound Mycological Society, one of the largest mushroom societies in North America. Funny story, once when we were out foraging with Daniel in the woods we ran into a woman and her son who were also foraging mushrooms. She right away recognized Daniel and even told her son, “This is one of mommy’s heroes!” He’s also just an all around good guy and easy to talk to about all things mushrooms. We love his approach to getting out and learning. And to not forage out of fear.

In this episode, Chris and Ashley talk to Lyanda about the intersection of faith and nature, small steps people can take to be more connected with the outdoors, and about Lyanda's unique strategy for getting outside daily. You'll also get to hear an amazing recipe for pocket stew, so be ready for a new recipe to add to your outdoor repertoire!
Before they headed out to the waters in Alaska we chatted with Claire and Emma, The Salmon Sisters. In this episode we talked about their magical childhood spent mostly outdoors and what led them to a life that “responds to the tide”.
As you know we’re big fans of the show Alone (History Channel, first two seasons currently available to watch on Amazon Prime). One of our favorites from the show is Callie from Season three. She has inspired us in our outdoor pursuits and even more so emotionally and spiritually. Join us in conversation about finding and creating a home with nature, healing through plants and lessons from living off the grid
Kayla Lockhart is an inspiration for us in our fly fishing endeavors. In this episode we chat with her about fly fishing, her amazing permit story, catch-and-release, as well as anxiety and how fly fishing helps.
A long distance chat with our friend (and guide from our two-part Alaksan episodes) Raven Madison. Raven is a lifetime Cordovan, an expert forager and an advocate for the health and success of her community. She has self published a book to help familiarize with Alaskan wild plants in the Chugach region.
Nicole Apelian is an herbalist, biologist, anthropologist, researcher, mother, in addition to being a survival TV celebrity, traditional skills instructor, and author. We were first introduced to her through Season 2 and Season 5 of Alone (our latest binge worthy tv show produced by the History Channel). Currently you can stream the first two seasons through Amazon Prime.
In our conversation, Nicole indulges our curiosity about her experience on the TV show and touches on how she manages her Multiple Sclerosis. She's strong and brave and also down to earth when it comes to enjoying nature and getting outdoors. We think you'll be inspired to get outside after listening to our conversation.
