Clawson Smith is the author of “Goonhood”, an incisive, insightful, furious, and often furiously funny book about one man’s awakening to the world. It’s about his transition from Bernie bro to outlaw pagan firebrand, and his reactions to the things he sees, the lies he’s been told, and the lies he told himself.

It's a helluva read, like "Catcher in the Rye" meets Hunter S. Thompson with Clint Eastwood thrown in for good measure.

In our three-hour conversation we discussed:

Christianity and Pagansim, Mormonism and Symbolism, Nietzche, Kant, Rosseau, and Burning Man

His experience with outdoorsmanship and backpacking, the transformative power of the outdoors, his own personal backpacking tricks, what novice men can do to get started

Clawson’s story behind writing "Goonhood", and some revealing details about the cover

The need for different families, tribes, nations and traditions to unify and push back in the face of the anti-spirit movement currently rising across the world

And we learned some important details about his upcoming book, the sequel to "Goonhood"

 

In the podcast, recorded prior to Jan 20th, Clawson relates the story of a backpacking trip he took recently, over a rough trail to an untouched piece of wilderness.

Our conversation was very much like that. It didn't start out like either of us expected, but we ended up right where I hoped.
