Summary

Steven Rinella - Writer, author, host of MeatEater TV, expert outdoorsman, true conservationist, talented story teller and tons of other complementary traits, sits down with Jimmy and Mark to share some of his “highlight-reel” near-death experiences incurred along the way of this crazy thing we call life. From icy water, to icy roads, with a fair bit of humor (you can always laugh about it later if you live to tell the tale) and a whole lot more, this was a fun one you won’t want to miss! We also dive into Steve’s new book, “The MeatEater Guide to Wilderness Skills and Survival” – a must read for any seasoned or budding outdoorsman. This comprehensive book, packed with incredibly useful information gained through first-hand experience and lessons learned the hard way, is designed to get you into the wilderness safely and effectively. Death by selfie, moss myths, mountain lions, food, water, shelter, OCD packing and unpacking, and tons of other great topics - this book might just save your life. As always, we want to hear your feedback! Let us know if there are any topics you'd like covered on the Vortex Nation™ podcast by asking us on Instagram @vortexnationpodcast
