    In Pursuit of Wild Foods From Germany to America | My Appearance on the Publicly Challenged Podcast

    This episode is one of my podcast appearances on the Publicly Challenged Podcast hosted by Luke Oswald, who is an avid outdoorsman and foodie himself.

    Luke had me on his podcast to chat a bit about my background and how I got obsessed with wild food procurement. Along those lines, we talk about all things hunting in Germany and how the hunting system is structured over there. We also get into the many opportunities and freedoms of hunting, fishing, and foraging here in the United States.

    It was a pleasure to sit down with Luke on the Publicly Challenged Podcast and I hope to have him on this podcast soon. Definitely check out some of the episodes he has with other hunters and people in the wild food community.
