Well friends, we made it through another year.

It wasn't easy but we did it.

We started to open up, get outside more, and spend more time with each other again.

One guest went trail running as a way to connect with his ancestors.

Others pursued incredible athletic endeavors, no matter their ability.

And many sought out the healing power of the great outdoors.

I found out this year that Annie, who's been a producer of Wild Ideas' Worth Living

since we launched the show, doesn't impersonation of me when she's writing the episodes.

In 2021, we expanded what it means to live wildly.

We talked to people with some seriously unique stories.

For example, Cliff Berrickman, one of the world's foremost experts on Bigfoot,

who's dedicated his life to proving that Sasquatches are real.

Here at the North American Bigfoot Center, we have a really nice Bigfoot statue in our exhibit hall.

It's very realistic.

And whenever I have someone like this guy who's seen a Sasquatch very close,

I invite him in the back and say, hey, here's our statue.
