The idea of escaping reality is a tricky one because not only do you have to define escape but also reality. I touch on those as well as being alone on hunts and the coming invasion of summer tourists, of which I will be one myself this summer, so I can't be judgmental.

Great points are often lost thanks to stupidity and anger. From the ethics of hunting contests to committing crimes in the name of human rights, there are always examples of extreme lengths some go when they believe they are wronged. The result, often times, is a loss of point validity and patience for others to listen.

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.

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.

You know when people like quotes because it represents a lifestyle they wish they led, and then you think, 'Wait a minute...is that me?' and you immediately head to the woods or river? In this episode I talk about distraction vs. happiness, getting a specific adventure spot dialed in vs. seeing new territory and personal development.

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. I learned that it's nothing like anything I've done before, that I'm pretty bad at it, but I got better and really had a good time. I also talk about the best places to offer and the worst. 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.
