We are three friends who spend a lot of time outdoors riding ATVs, cooking, hunting, homesteading, camping, and drinking a lot of beer. We’d like to get better at all of it, but we don’t learn so good. So each week we try to get good learned folks on a podcast (which we also don’t know how to do) to tell us we’re dumb. Basically, we're city folk, trying to cow poke. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
