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.

In this episode I talk with Backcountry Hunters and Anglers board member Steve Shannon about the importance of making the most out of your voice since most politicians don’t read your Facebook feed to find out about important issues. We also talk about drawing tags, sharing information, and how best to represent our lifestyle as hunters and anglers.

Inspired by Mark Kurlansky's Cod, I wonder what the future holds for our fishing stocks. The book is about the history of cod and how the destructive efficiency of the commercial fishing industry (trawlers) has devastated populations of cod. I talk about king salmon in California, salmon in southeast Alaska, and amplifying your voice beyond Facebook posts by joining organizations that are attempting to do what's best going forward.

Last week of January coming up, I can almost smell the spring black bear... but hold on, patience is necessary. The last two years southeast Alaska has had crazy snow storms in March and even into April, so as excited as I am for spring steelhead and spring bear, I have to resist the temptation to get too stoke. Instead, more time in the gym getting into shape and more time shooting the bow.

For this episode I'm a total sucker because I'm promoting an article by reacting to it. Anyway, there's a list of 7 obsolete man skills that the 21st Century Man should abandon "if you’re at all interested in being ahead of the curve" that I think embodies the disjointed, unclear message regarding who men are and who they should be. Allowing societal norms or relying on societal approval to dictate a lifestyle might not be the best way to achieve individual or societal happiness.

Dry spells happen. My current dry spell is something unlike any dry spell I have experienced as a hunter and angler. Unfortunately it has coincided with two visits from my girlfriend. I hope she doesn't think I'm a bad Alaskan.
