Both of them are very much into the culinary exploration of wild game and fish. In fact, Shay actually used to go to culinary school and Shane worked at a wild game processor in his teens. So needless to say that they know their way around the kitchen and butcher station. Shane is also very involved in using donkeys (aka burrows) to pack into the backcountry for hunts and other adventures.

Episode Overview:

• Shane’s story of his recent Montana Moose hunt
• Why road hunting has a bad reputation and how you can do it effectively

This episode is a conversation with Dr. Miki Ben-Dor, a Paleoanthropologist at Tel Aviv University. His area of study examines the causal relationship between Paleolithic nutrition and human evolution. Figuring out what our ancestors ate can help inform us how we should eat in this day and age. 

Miki and I sat down to explore his findings on humans being much more adapted to eating meat than plants. Now I'm not against eating plants and Miki’s findings dont claim that we should only be eating animal foods…but he has uncovered a lot of evidence that points to humans being meateaters for a great length of our evolution.

Episode Overview:

• Human Trophic Level: Our position in the food chain compared to other living things
• How our bodies are much more designed to utilize animal vs plant foods  for energy
• Archeological and ethnographic evidence for humans evolving as carnivores
• How we can look back to our evolution to inform what we should eat today
• Why hunting larger animals was the most energetically efficient for our ancestors
• Why hunting small animals and the search for fat might have caused us to grow larger brains
