And on today's episode we travel down under to chat with Bort as he shares his experiences both in the States and in Australia. While we recorded this episode while he was still living in Australia, he recently moved back to the States, on Instagram you can follow him, @drbortedwards

We talk with Bort about his travels and hikes across the states from National Parks to National Forest and State Parks. We do some deep dives on some of the beautiful yet invasive flowering plants in the states.  He also shares with us some of the unique bushwhacking opportunities in and around Australia, while also sharing some best practices and advice when out in Dropbear country!
