    Outdoor Writer, Kristen Schmitt – Outdoor Feast Podcast (EP:026)

    Outdoor Writer, Kristen Schmitt - Outdoor Feast Podcast EP:026 On this episode of the Outdoor Feast Podcast, Todd Waldron has a great conversation with Kristen Schmitt.  Kristen is an author by trade but it has not always been that way.  She started, like many, in corporate America.  After working in this setting for many years she and her husband decided they had enough and they moved from Detroit, Michigan to a rural Vermont home.  One driver of this change was the desire to achieve a lifestyle focused more on the outdoors. She wanted to eat more naturally and to have a better connection with where her food comes from.  This was so important to her that she even started raising her own chickens and buying meat from a butcher that lives next door. In today's podcast Kristen also discusses her journey to becoming a writer.  It didn't come easy for her.  Writing used to just be a hobby of hers but with the support of her family and an adventurous spirit she worked hard to become the writer she is today.  Now writing is her full-time job.  She has been published in many notable journals and magazines.  Check out Kristen Schmitt's amazing work on her website.  Please listen in to the Outdoor Feast Podcast for an in-depth discussion on books, food, and the many challenges of getting outdoors with children.  This was definitely a fun conversation.

    Hunting Maine with Brent West – OFP (EP:023)

    Hunting Maine with Brent West - Outdoor Feast Podcast EP:23 On this episode of the Outdoor Feast Podcast, Todd sits down with Brent West.  Brent is the executive director of the High Peaks Alliance and a proud resident of Maine.  The High Peaks Alliance is a volunteer, non-profit organization founded in 2007 and made up of outdoor lovers of all types.  The Alliance comes from many different backgrounds, hunters and non-hunters alike.  In general, their main goal is to work together to ensure public access in the High Peaks region of Maine.  Maine has a remarkable 17 million acres of forest.  Previously, much of this land was private ground open for public access.  However, this access has been limited recently due to the land owners finding upkeep and maintenance with public use to be too big a task.  For this reason, Brent and the High Peak Alliance are working hard to open this land back up for public use.
