Great talk. I spent decades in industrial construction. Pipelines in dangerous conditions. Hours up to our knees in mud with machine overhead. Our old crew was family. We kept each other safe. We made it fun under some tough conditions in the winter here in Alberta. Good times.

[@scottgsarmwrestling4639]

Rather do that than stand at a food line all day

[@ronmartin87]

Much respect to Evan say what you want you earned it. Thank you for your service. Giving us a right we don’t necessarily deserve currently.

[@ElvinMunoz]

What an awesome episode! I love Evan, he's generally a little too goofy but he got serious and gave a lot of gems; awesome episode!

[@frankgilley8421]

What a great episode! Thank you

[@bab9955]

Great story after being laid off this is encouraging to not let someone make you feel defeated or inferior because they are unhappy or that you're not good enough. The mantra to not quit is apart of who I am..you're coffee is awesome will ck out grand opening In Frisco you guys are an awesome group great company great members marketing is ontop and your dedication for 1st responders and military is top notch. Thank you❤

[@HumanN8ture]

This is great!!

This was great. I grew up in an area in central Texas that used to be pretty rural, and it’s now a super-suburb. Behind my parents house where there used to be a population of zero on the other side of their barbwire fence with wild land for miles, there is now multiple tens of thousands of people, and no more wild land. Every last trail that I explored on as a kid are gone. Over 95% of our wildlife is long gone. I watched the destruction of all of the wild land around me growing up. I watched fish and life-supporting creeks get filled in with dirt and concrete to be turned into drainage runoff areas. I don’t wish this in any natural area. It was better here when we had to watch every step for venomous snakes.

[@johnb7490]

That was so AWESOME.

[@mattpolinsky4234]

Really good episode. I think an important point missed while you guys were talking about hunting and how anti hunters don’t understand it. Often those people are vegans or vegetarian and they have some concept of the very little bad ranching and cattle working but then have zero concept of farming. They act as higher moral being that regular folk who hunt or even just eat meat when the crops they eat are covered in more blood than the steak from my deer. When the farmers plow that field it kills everything in its path. Every deer, mole, vole, toad, snake, or deer that just so happens to be in that field. Just some addition to a great section of the conversation.

[@robquinn9]

This was a great episode. Appreciated the perspectives offered on hunting (I am not a hunter; not opposed to hunting either) and being a meat eater (I am one). Similar to the part in "Endure."

[@chancecombs9076]

Best one yet totally believe it been saying the same for 10 years

[@ghaugsness]

Great episode. The part where you guys talk about the connection of hunting to your food should become a short!

[@blakewestcomb9541]

Baddass 👍

[@kukaliemikalie8157]
