We all have a passion for something. Mine is cooking and hunting. Others may be motorcycles, Golfing, hiking, fishing or really anything else that makes someone happy and fulfilled doing. One thing that is remarkable about finding ones passion is it can happen anytime in life, passions change as we age. So it's never to late to find that one thing you are absolute obsessed with.  My guest today found her passion for Archery and hunting after retirement and has really taken to it. Karen is an advocate for women in the outdoors and helps with different women based events and courses teaching other women about the wonderful sport of Archery and hunting. Let me tell you...she is one hell of a shot!! I hope you all enjoy this conversation as much as I did.  Don't forget to follow us on Instagram, Facebook and Youtube for more content.  Cheers! 

As a society we have lost touch with our food. When I say that I mean we have lost touch with the understanding of were our food comes from and what really goes into putting meat and vegetables on your plate. We have stopped putting in the hard work required to raise, hunt, and grow our own food. We have stopped showing our children the true meaning of the food chain and circle of life. A lot of children don't even know how hamburgers are made.  In today's episode we talk about kids in the kitchen, lessons learned from the kitchen and how to raise unpicky eaters.

There is something special about being able to harvest, grow and forage your own food. Mother Nature has so many beneficial products to offer if you just know what you are looking for. My guest today has really adopted the outdoor lifestyle and tries to utilize Mother Natures gifts as much as she can. Safiyyah is an avid outdoors woman, hunter, fisher and forager. She talks about her journey into the outdoor lifestyle and the benefits of self harvested meat, natural plants and other topics. This is a great conversation. Check it out.

As a parent - one of our biggest responsibilities is insuring our children are safe.Unfortunately, we can not always be with our children to protect them. So, we need to make sure they are raised properly and understand how to avoid dangerous situations if at all possible. We also need to make sure they know the difference between right and wrong. That way they don't put them selves or others in danger. In todays episode we discuss the growing trend in our community of children taking guns to school, our opinions of how to avoid this, what to do at home, and other topics as well.  This is a touchy subject for a lot of us and I know that my opinions are not going to resinate with some and that's okay. I hope you enjoy the episode and find our opinions helpful or insightful. 

Being able to make something out of nothing is a valuable and impressive skill to have. Especially when that skill is making a useful tool (such as a knife) out of hard steal. Blade smithing has been around for many,many years and it is an amazing craft. With the type of work I do knifes play a very important role in my day to day operations and I have grown to really appreciate the craftsmanship and detail that goes into high end knives.  My guest today has mastered this craft and has made some really stunning knives over the years. Martin Seck owner of Panda Bear Forge is a local North Carolina blade smith who has taken his skills to Forged in Fire during season 8 of the show. During our conversation we discuss blade smithing, Forged in Fire, martial arts, bow making and much more. I know you are going to enjoy this conversation just as much as I did. Make sure to check Martin out and follow him at: Forged in Fire Season 8 Episode 21 ( Fire and Water) on Netflix https://pandabearforge.com/ https://www.instagram.com/pandabearforge/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClZYxNn7bq9v9R_CRJJb_Mg https://www.facebook.com/pandabearforge 

We all do it! We are all guilty! We all talk down to ourselves and put ourselves in a less than favolable mental position from time to time. This negative talk can push us forward, but it can also drag us down into the mud if we let it. That is what happened to me this year and man it sucks.  In this conversation, we talk about how negative talk hinders your performance, why it is important to know when to call it quits and the power of flexibility.  I hope you all enjoy the conversation and hope this helps some new hunters out there.  Lastly here are a few affiliate links, in case you are looking for a new firearm. You will understand why this is there, if you listen to the whole episode.

I have been asked several times " Why do I hunt Coyotes?' another question I get that usually follows the first one is "Do you eat them?" Well...I do not eat them for a couple different reasons, but primarily because they are wild dogs - flea infested dogs. To be honest, I think it's more mental than anything but that's besides the point.  There are times that we hunt for other reasons besides food. Predator control is one of those reasons. Today's episode goes over some of the reasons why we should hunt coyotes and why it's important to manage them properly. I hope you enjoy this episode and hopefully this will give a little more insight to why coyotes should be hunted and managed. Enjoy!!  https://abc13.com/2-year-old-attacked-by-coyote-attacks-child-in-dallas-critical-condition-wild-animals/11817443/ https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-04-29/coyote-attacks-seriously-injures-girl-in-huntington-beach https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/coyote-attacks-calgary-1.6082501

God works in mysteries ways! He provides us with so much and it is up to us to see this and follow the path intended for us.

This is a conversation worth listening to.
