    A part of me wishes I wasn't a solo hunter. There's something beautiful and magical about roaming for a harvest with someone you can joke with. Too often, a hunt becomes something we're forcing and, if we don't harvest any of nature's bounty, we feel a sense of failure from the experience. But with a friend, at least you can say you were spending time with someone, planning together, working together and even when you have nothing to show for the effort but time spent with someone, you've succeeded in fostering a bond with someone. And you can't call that experience a failure. And if you get a few laughs along the way, all the better.

      Same thing in the workshop. I have friends who work as a team, and we solo guys often feel they have it better than those of us who work alone. I've had someone work in my shop from time to time. The energy is almost always better for it.

    I really and truly think that these episodes should be closer to an hour long. Let’s be honest, not much is happening on television and most people either stream or watch on CZcams. There’s no reason that this show can’t have a season of 45+ minute episodes. Pretty sure the footage is there, especially shrimping, cooking, gutting, etc.

    As an old bugger from New Zealand it is nice to view a video where the guy actually hunts, instead of driving to a bind and waiting for a deer to show up. there is a place for the other type of hunting but it is a very small ,place usually reserved for old guys with a lack of fitness and big beer guts.

    One of my life's fitness goals it to be able to hike like Steve does. I wish Meateater would do an episode of Steve vs. Cal vs. Janis doing a full, overall health test on a treadmill with all of the necessary equipment like you see professional athletes do. That would be super interesting and a fun competition of sorts. The overall health of the modern mountain man.

    The opinions of Evan is funny. Thanks for keeping it real and not deleting it! The not drinking water thing that Steve did is relatable because I do the same thing probably with minor differences but for me it started because when I used to workout everyday I didn’t want to get used to drinking water because the more you drink the more you think you need to. Then eventually you just get bloated and heavy so I would rinse my mouth with water to get rid of that thick saliva from my mouth but I wouldn’t drink water until I know i was done running for the day
