Shawn James and I have recently connected on Instagram and I messaged him about being on the show. I'm honoured that he agreed to join us here on the Food Afield Podcast! 

A special episode, actually two episodes, as we sit and talk about Shawn's hit YouTube channel, My Self Reliance. For the most part throughout the conversation, we chat about the things that we both love doing in the outdoors, but a big part of Shawn's life is that channel so it enters the conversation often.

Shawn's love and devotion to his family and the outdoors became very clear the longer we spoke. The stories he has from decades of intense wilderness experiences are phenomenal and it was fun to hear of his hunting, fishing, and wild food beginnings as well as how the YouTube channel got its start. 

Please go ahead and share this episode with friends and family who know Shawn's channel, or anyone who loves the world of wild food ingredients, and how to collect them.
