Stellar guests and stories on why valuing the outdoors has built amazing successes!
When tragedies or disasters strike close to home, we look for ways to avoid the anxiety they produce — sometimes by withdrawing or tuning out, and sometimes by turning our attention to lurid or unimportant details. But that sort of avoidance doesn’t help the victims of a tragedy, or the community, heal. In the aftermath of an event that shakes up our confidence in the order of things — such as what happened here at Reelfoot Lake — it’s vital for communities to come together to reestablish a sense of trust and collective efficacy. Being present to confront the difficult reality of loss, undertaking the necessary task of “gathering round,” and offering of ourselves, is what matters. It’s part of the reason we live in communities.

"If you have a nonprofit or you're thinking about doing a nonprofit, your number one goal is to raise funds. Without funds, you don't have operations, you don't have overhead, you cannot justify getting more funds without having funds. So it takes money to make money.”

“If you're trying to genuinely learn a talent or try to get into something, you always gotta begin somewhere. So you could either be one of those that just pick it up. Like it's no big deal or you might have to have some practice. Music is my life. I know that's a cliché thing to say.”

In an era where smartphones are weapons powerful enough to ruin one’s life physically or emotionally, hunters are no exception to being hunted. From the methods they practice, the camo patterns they wear, the gear they use or the way they portray success, hunters are being attacked and publicly shamed in every angle they are exposed to.
Today’s episode of Back To The Lodge Podcast, Patrick will express his outrage on how people shame hunters and fishers on social media. He will also voice out his sentiment on how freedom of speech is being abused especially in the world of outdoor hunting and fishing. Deeply-rooted from a family of hunters, Patrick knows the ropes of the outdoors and strongly calls that outdoor culture shaming should never be normalized - it has to STOP.
Enjoy!

“America is supposed to be freedom of speech and respecting other people's views. You can't scream fire in a full theater. Stop shaming people. If they're not hurting you, if you don't know true facts and numbers, you have zero credibility. If you're criticizing somebody for they were out there and they were part of the sport, shame on you!”

In parallel to the widely-known fact that food from farm to table provides optimal health and nutritional benefits, embracing this concept also protects biodiversity and allows healthy ecosystems to flourish. Not just that people become mindful of the generations to follow but also creates a viable food supply chain.
Today’s episode of Back To The Lodge Podcast, our hosts will talk about the concept of providing food from farm to table over a can of beer and smoked venison. From Patrick’s previous deer hunting escapade, he will now share his very own smoked venison and how this meat has been feeding hundreds of families. Patrick will also speak about the importance of keeping the culture of hunting alive for the next generations to come not only for the interest itself but for the environment as well.
Plus, check out Nick’s new ink as he got his sleeves started.

"Get an adult out who's never hunted before. If we don't do it, we don't pass down these recipes and get people outdoors, it's going to die. You're going to watch your freshwater systems go to crap, too. You can't say you want environmental cleanliness and then anti-outdoor hunting and fishing."
