In this Field Notes Episode, Robin follows Jason through day 1 of bowhunting elk in the Colorado mountains. Amongst the many miles and close encounters, they find time to share stories over a few snacks. Warning: some snacks may come with a very unsavory nickname. All food in this episode came prepared by podcasting legend and well-loved ‘Camp Mom’ Michael Scrogan of The Hunting Stories Podcast. There’s even a surprise appearance from another hunter who goes by the name Jeremy.

Thanks again to Jason, Michael and Jeremy for a fantastic adventure.

Be sure to check out Jason’s outdoor brand, Catamount - he makes some tip-top stuff!

Dana Anderson is a hugger, but that's not the only way he's kept life's bubbles from ever going flat. Arguably the funnest person to know, Wild Mountain Man Dan got his nickname for a reason, and we're going to find out here today. From wilderness techniques, lessons about community, and even a run-in or two with the law, Dana shares some truly wild stories in this episode.

A huge thank you to Dana for sharing his time with us today!

Give him a follow on Instagram and Facebook, and find him at a wild skills gathering - he's likely to be there.

In this episode, Robin shares how square breathing helped him successfully arrow two fallow deer in just sixty seconds. The technique he demonstrates in this episode is one of the tools that helped him swing that day's result from failure to double-success.
