Join in as Stacy and I talk about diversity in the outdoors, hippies with rifles, why it’s never too late to start something, and the idea of measuring our lives in sunrises and sunsets. He shares his fascinating perspective on the fishing and hunting industries and may even change some views of the most die-hard vegans. An enlightening and necessary conversation about merging “environmentalism” with recreational outdoor activities, inclusivity and why taking congress camping, could potentially change the world.
