    Episode 16 - Austin Nicholas - @wilderness_father

    I'm thrilled to have a guest who embodies the true spirit of embracing the outdoors. This man walks the walk with unwavering dedication. I've been captivated by the journey of a person who rises at 4 a.m. without fail, does cold plunges, engages in intense workouts, goes hunting, fishing, and relentlessly pursues his dreams in the outdoors. What sets him apart is not just his personal quest for adventure but his commitment to sharing these invaluable experiences with his family and especially with his daughter.  I first noticed him when he had just a couple of hundred followers on social media, and yet, he persisted in creating content that resonated deeply with his audience. Fast forward, and he's become a sensation with over 65,000 followers on Instagram practically overnight, and his influence continues to grow. Without further ado, let me introduce you to the one and only Austin Nicholas, widely known as @wilderness_father.

Many of you might know Benji from Season 9 of the thrilling survival series "Alone," and we are thrilled to have him here once again to share his awe-inspiring and life-altering experiences from the show.

    Episode 11 - Eric Haywood - Passionate Outdoorsman and Mentor

    In this episode, we welcome Eric Haywood to the podcast! Eric is an experienced hunter and fisherman who grew up in Jackson, Wyoming. He started fly fishing at the age of 3 with his dad, and grew up doing that until he started hunting at the age of 13. He loves what he does, and always strives to provide a memorable experience to everyone he hunts with, and loves teaching the craft to others. He oftentimes gets more joy through others' success, rather than his own. If you're wanting to support young aspiring outdoorsmen, look no further than HUNT OF A LIFETIME!!! A nonprofit organization that provides hunting and outdoor experiences to children and young adults that have been diagnosed with life threatening illnesses or disabilities. I can not express enough how amazing this organization is and what they do for these kids in order to make their dreams come true!! Thank you!

    Episode 10 - John Huber - World Renowned Author and Fly Fisherman

    I do not have enough good words to say about Mr. John Huber. This guy eats, sleeps, and breathes fly fishing and bird hunting. He truly exemplifies the purest version of this lifestyle in a modern way. With the skillset he has and his ability to share it with those around him, he could literally be anywhere, yet he chooses a quiet, simple life in small-town Picabo, ID. Here he finds peace, and a life he can be proud of, fishing for browns and rainbows on the world famous Silver Creek, and hunting birds throughout the changing seasons.
