I lost a steelhead and a crab pot yesterday, so I talk about that as well as the importance of being present and not so caught up in the result. I also talk about why I don't trust gear reviews by customers, but I do trust podcast reviews.

He is the school psychologist at Ketchikan Gateway Borough School District, so we talk the benefits of a community like Ketchikan for student growth, why people choose to come back to Ketchikan, mentoring opportunities, and mindfulness.

For the past few months I've been listening to the Right to Roam Podcast by four guys from Wyoming. It's not your typical hunting podcast as these guys have biology backgrounds so there's science and facts, not just anecdote, when they get into things. We talk about being good guests, hunting ethics, social norms, earning local status and figuring out the hunting regulations in different states.

I hadn't been on skis since I was a freshman in high school, but my first backcountry touring adventure in Wyomings Medicine Bow National Forest was a success.

Something like a misery index.

There's nothing wrong with asking yourself questions...think about why someone might hate hunting, why fly fishing is cruel or why the Alaska Marine Highway is just a luxury. When you digest those points of view you come out with a better understanding of what you believe, you change your world view, or end up really overwhelmed with the level of complexity of the issues. And that the Alaska Marine Highway is vital to Southeast Alaska.

What makes an expert, and the insanity of the Region V Basketball Tournament. I talk about some of the more notable aspects of athletic travel in southeast Alaska - circling rural airports, malfunctioning runway lights, 2-week trips, diverted flights to Seattle and game socks after six road games.

In the last two years I have paid much more attention to what it means to "love the outdoors" and the debates surrounding how that should best be done. In this episode I talk about social pressure for the government to regulate rather than preserve freedom, the freedom to define happiness, and the freedom to decide how much I want negativity to impact my mood and how I treat others.
