Kevin Estela is the Director of Survival for Fieldcraft Survival and the Author of the best-selling book,101 Skills You Need to Survive in the Woods. A lifelong educator and the founder of the Estela Wilderness Education Fund, Estela is an avid bushcrafter, hunter, fisherman, and self-admitted firearms training junkie. Follow his exploits on Twitter/Instagram at @estelawilded.
In this episode, Kevin and I discuss strong minds versus weak minds and how it relates to the state of our current society. How it affects the hunting world. We discuss his book (link below) and the difference between tinfoil hat preppers and living a prepared life. Bear hunting is talked about, as well as deer hunting in the Southeast versus the West.
Kevin is always a fantastic guest for this show. His "fear not" attitude towards sharing what he believes is refreshing in a world full of weak-minded pussies who hide in silence and pathetic apathy. Pick up a copy of Kevins' book, you won't regret it.
