Show Notes
In this episode, I sit down with Robby Denning for a raw and honest conversation about storytelling, hunting, and what really matters.
We dive deep into how hunting stories shaped us growing up — from books and campfire tales to modern films and YouTube. Are we telling better stories today? Or have we lost something in the shift toward short-form content and constant cameras?
We talk about:
- Why written stories hit differently than video
- The evolution of hunting content over the last 15 years
- Ego, burnout, and the pressure to always create
- Finding balance between documenting the hunt and being present
- Mentorship, community, and the mistake of going it alone
- Recovery, masculinity, and how the outdoors can reshape a man
This isn’t a gear episode. It’s a conversation about identity, legacy, and why storytelling might be the most important thing hunters can do right now — especially as ballot initiatives and public perception continue to shape the future of our lifestyle.
