We're back today and joining us is Paul Forward, a passionate traditional archer and conservation advocate. We discuss Paul's journey in the outdoors, his experiences with Sitka's film 'The Hard Way', and the challenges facing wildlife in Alaska. Paul shares his early beginnings with archery, the allure of longbows, and the balance between high adventure and responsibility in hunting, the importance of stepping away from constant information consumption, the value of allowing children to experience life and learn through risk, and the challenges of introducing kids to outdoor activities like hunting.

For most of y'all around the country, its game time now. In our conversation today we're diving into what the phrase 'Opening Day' means to us and our excitement for the hunt season that is now upon us.

We also dive into our current gear set ups as we head into our hunts make some other recommendations for the trad gear we really like.

Then as usual, we finish with some music talk at the end of the episode after both of us saw some pretty amazing live shows recently.

Go check out the companies that make this show possible and show them some love;

Back at it today, folks. We're going over a lot of things and realize it'd all just be easier if we went up to the woods for a while.

We go the impact of social media on communication, and the isolation many feel in their personal growth journeys, the importance of community, the struggle for balance in life, and the role of hobbies in achieving mental clarity. As usual we have some music chat as well.
