So through a lot of conversation with my wife, living in one of the "greenest" cities in America, and also in one of the most beautiful and natural resource rich areas of the country, I've decided it's time to take better care of this wonderful world around me.
I was watching as episode of Anthony Bourdain the other night. He was in the UK talking to chefs about England losing it's identity as a brilliant culinary nation. One of the chefs said something that keeps resonating with me. He said there's a wonderful menu flying above our heads all the time. I think here in the Northwest and in alot of other parts of the country we have a wonderful, sustainable, organic menu flying over our heads, walking through our forests, swimming in our lakes and rivers, living on our beaches and swimming and crawling all over our shores.
With less and less people hunting and fishing we have even more opportunity to get outside alone, in the wild, hunting and gathering. Whether you believe that we were created to hunt and gather or that we evolved into hunters and gatherers, I think it's still in us. A strong desire to live off the "Fat of the Land".
This is an adventure in finding out just how much "Fat" is out there. Not taking anything that would do damage. Nothing that isn't sustainable. Nothing that isn't abundant. And going green like a man. With a rod and reel, a gun, crab pots, and possibly even with a carboy to brew beer. What's more manly than fishing, hunting and beer?
mmm....crab pots and beer...
