Calling the cops on yourself?!
Todays Podcast episode takes place 2 years ago in the mountain town of Mcall Idaho and highlights what its like to push the boundaries of law and order to maintain the wellbeing of me and my critters. To uphold and maintain personal autonomy against presumed authority that doesn't have your best interest at heart.
There are many nuances I cover in this episode that removes speculation as to how we juggle public and private lands. enjoy the inverted thought and paradigm shift we call everyday life.
