Hello Folks,

This evening I had the pleasure of sitting down to chat with a close friend of my fiancée to ask her about her short stay in Alaska, and how her introduction to the outdoors has changed her life. She is a motivated and inspiring person who is always supportive of both my fiancée and I in our outdoor endeavors.

Listen to me put my foot in my mouth as I forget which animals are endangered and protected while I try to make the argument that some protections should be reduced (obviously only where populations are robust enough to allow a reduction in ESA protection). Unfortunately, I didn't have time to write show notes and tried to wing it. Shouldn't have done that. Also, for any folks in Florida, reach out if you know whether or not Florida has white-tail deer, because I may have possibly put my foot in my mouth a second time.

Danella and I also chatted about her introduction to hunting & trapping and how she views the activity as empowering; her career in healthcare and as a traveling healthcare provider; her first winter in Fairbanks; coming to Alaska as a city girl from Miami, and her desire to inspire others to get outside and look around.

Again, she is super inspiring as a person, and if you'd like to get out and adventure, she'll help get you off of the couch.
