What does it mean to be a Provider? There are many different ideologies of how to provide. Do you provide for your family? Your kids? Your friends? Your co-workers? Do you work hard and shop for groceries? Do you have a garden and bring vegetables to the table? Do you forage? Do you can or pickle foods? Do you dish out fresh protein on the menu? Do you hunt and have a freezer full of perfect meat? Have you consistently honed your skill set to succeed in your hunting expeditions and safaris? We believe in living off the land! We believe in knowing where our food comes from! We believe in sharing our skills and telling the story of each and every hunt and fishing excursion. We are Providers! Yea, we are! Chad is solo this week to just talk a little food, a little drink, a little hunt, a little butcher, and a lot recipe! Our dry rubs and our cookbook and our wing sauce are so legit and we hope you get to try them all! Enjoy the episode! It’s The Provider Series right here at The Fowl Life Podcast!
