    Dave Hansen

    THIS WEEK ON THE ACCESSIBLE HUNTER PODCAST 🎣 This week we talk with Dave Hansen — “The Unstoppable Sportsman.” After a life-changing injury left him paralyzed, Dave refused to give up the outdoors lifestyle he loved. Instead of rolling away from fishing, he created adaptive equipment that’s helping anglers across the country stay independent on the water. We’ll talk about: 🎣 Life before and after injury 🎣 Refusing to quit fishing 🎣 The creation of the Grip n Rip 🎣 Adaptive fishing independence 🎣 Real-world trial and error 🎣 Encouraging others after injury 🎣 What’s next for adaptive outdoor innovation Dave’s story is about perseverance, problem solving, and proving that disability does not define what you’re capable of doing outdoors. You don’t want to miss this one.

    David Daw

    This week on the Accessible Hunter Podcast we’re joined by David Daw from Kingston, New York. David lives with muscular dystrophy and has become a powerful voice for accessibility, advocacy, and redefining independence. From navigating life after finally receiving a diagnosis, to learning to embrace the freedom his wheelchair gave him, David shares a raw and honest perspective that so many people need to hear. You may know David from his “Things My Wheelchair Saw Today” content, where he shines a light on the everyday accessibility barriers most people never even think about. He’s also a musician, guitar tech, creator, and advocate proving every day that disability does not define your purpose. We talk about:
🎙️ Living with muscular dystrophy
🎙️ The emotional journey of accepting a wheelchair
🎙️ Accessibility challenges in everyday life
🎙️ Fighting isolation and depression
🎙️ Advocacy and creating change in communities
🎙️ Redefining ability and finding purpose This is a real conversation about resilience, perspective, and pushing forward no matter what obstacles are in front of you. #AccessibleHunter #AccessibleHunterPodcast #MuscularDystrophy #AccessibilityMatters #DisabilityAdvocacy #AdaptiveLiving #KingstonNY #InclusiveOutdoors #RedefiningAbility #NoMatterHowYouGetThereGETTHERE #ALSOutdoorz #BeAdaptiveEquipment #BicknellBunchOutdoors #CampFreedom #HopeOutdoors #HuntersSharingTheHarvest #MrHeater #NevinsHuntingFriends #PerserveranceOutdoors #RedefiningOutdoorAbilityWorldwide #ROAROUTDOORS #RupertsRoostInPeaceTurkeyCalls #SpartanWheelChariots #TheOutdoorCallRadio #TraplineBeardOil #VaWheelinSportsmen #ActionTrackchair #MusculardystrophyAssociation #MagicMobility #MagicMobilityXT4

We also get into: • The rise of adaptive equipment like track wheelchairs • Barriers keeping people with mobility impairments from getting back outdoors • South Carolina’s lifetime license program • “Take One Make One” and growing participation • The shift toward more diversity, including women in outdoor careers This is a powerful conversation about breaking barriers and building access for ALL.
