If you have a chance I would certainly recommend the MOT as they call it underlying health issues don’t always show up

How does one transition from an urban upbringing in Johannesburg to becoming a key voice in the global hunting and conservation community? Join us as we unravel the compelling journey of Robbie, the brain behind Blood Origins. Robbie dives into his personal story, sharing how his family's hunting heritage shaped his passion for the outdoors and how he found his true calling after a career in wetland ecology. His narrative is a testament to the enduring importance of preserving hunting traditions and dispelling widespread misconceptions.

We shine a light on the diverse, global community of hunters and conservationists, underscoring the significance of learning from various practices worldwide. Our conversation touches on the untapped potential of regenerative agriculture and the detrimental effects of irresponsible hunting behaviors on public perception. Robbie's insights into creating positive, educational content are exemplified by the "Wine and Water" documentary, illustrating the benefits of hunting in places like Zimbabwe. This episode is a clarion call to present an accurate and respectful image of hunters and conservationists working in harmony for the planet's well-being.

Finally, we discuss the cultural nuances of hunting perceptions, particularly in the UK, and explore the roots and evolution of Blood Origins. With highlights on mainstream influencers like Jeremy Clarkson who have shifted public attitudes, we delve into the necessity of engaging non-hunting communities. Robbie's heartfelt storytelling aims to capture the essence of hunting, moving beyond stereotypes and fostering a deeper understanding. Don't miss out on this thought-provoking conversation that encourages listeners to actively participate and continue the dialogue through various interactive platforms.
