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.
