Join Brad & Jess as we chat with Jenn McDonald.

Jenn is a passionate hunter and angler based in Ontario. Jenn is also an avid forager, passionate cook and is the host of Wild Cookhouse on Fishing the Wild West TV, where she shares her love of cooking and wild foods. Jenn ALSO hosts the Horrible People Podcast where she interviews people in the outdoor industry on their “misunderstood” lifestyles. 

It was hard to pick a title for this episode because we cover a lot including the criticism outdoorsmen face, her favourite fish brine recipe, cormoronts (Brad's favourite topic) and how YouTube can make a great mentor.

We have been getting a lot of questions about tariffs so we thought we would dedicate an episode to the topic of tariffs, manufacturing in Canada and a few personal thoughts on Canada/USA relations. For some added insight, we have invited our friend Dustin Rhodes (owner of Lucky Strike Bait Works) to be part of the discussion. This episode is a bit different than our usual content and format, but we hope you find the conversation interesting.
