Summary
This show departs from our usual content in that we are sharing how to avoid one of the biggest and most dangerous pitfalls of adventure sports. No, not the bike or ski crash. Not getting lost in the wilderness. No sinking boats or parachute failures. None of that. This is how to avoid the most common and dangerous attacks of wildlife! Ya really. Not the big ones, though. The tiny, nefarious, forsaken, ticks and mosquitoes, and biting flies, and the rest. Seriously, this is probably the biggest nuisance and deterrent to people getting out into nature and having fun. Emily Dix joins us to share her love of the outdoors and how her family business is solving the problems of vector born illnesses. No more excuses!

| 1:07.2 | combat against illnesses that are brought on by things like ticks and mosquitoes, insects, |
| 1:14.5 | bugs. This is a big deal for adventurers. And, you know, we like to not talk a whole lot about |
