Robin and Dan take to Lake Sonoma in search of pigs, but discover far more edible treats than either of them anticipated.

Thank you again to Dan Romo for putting up with my dumb jokes.

What better place to hear Dan Romo's story than in Lake Sonoma, where he and Robin first met. Through their unfaltering pursuit of pigs together, good times soon followed. This is a prime example of one of those good times: Successes, failures, and near misses, this one has them all.

Thanks again to Dan for being such a high-caliber hunting buddy.

For most, bow-building comes from a desire to feel closer to the hunting experience. Eric Clem took a different path: Part of an underground archery competition, held after-hours in New York offices, Eric felt driven to create better performing equipment. Soon after the Brooklyn Bowyer was born. But it was only after a life changing accident, that a move to LA and a new world of hunting opportunities appeared. As strange as it sounds, it's actually possible to hunt deer at first light while the busy world of Los Angeles twinkles below.

A huge thank you again to Eric for sharing his time and stories with us today!

In this Episode Robin and William head off into the mushroom woods to celebrate what has been arguably the GOAT of all seasons. Not only do they fill their packs, but as usual William drops a metric ton of wisdom about finding our quarry, black trumpets and giant hedgehogs. Not only do they manage to make a few observations about life and the natural world, they also discover a strange shroom variant that neither have ever seen before.

A huge thankyou again to William for his time and friendship!
