EP 24 – A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words with Adam Foss @fossman8

In this episode, I sat down with renowned outdoors photographer and bowhunter Adam Foss.  I have wanted to chat with Adam for some time because he embodies the intriguing combination of a hardcore back hunter and the sensitive aesthetic of an artist.  This is one of my favourite chats I’ve had the opportunity to have on this podcast.  We got a little deep and talked philosophy, gave some technical gear tips, and lots in between.  If you do not already, go give Adam a follow.
