Really great podcast!!!

Just found this amazing podcast and as fellow nature enthusiast and lover of the fact that our children are being raised In a nature deficient world. Our children need to unplug and this podcast will help you think of new and amazing things to do with your family. As a scoutmaster I sometime get where if I haven't been in the woods in a few weeks I get moody and need some time on the trial. Nature is truly amazing and full of wonders. God has blessed us with an awesome world just waiting to explore.
Thanks for Sharing Brett
