Summary

In this episode we have Clint Beckham in the 10x10x10 Tangent Cube of Science with us to discuss all things arrowheads and hunting and how to survive out in the desert with nothing but a goat skin and a single straw.
Clint does paid digs and hunts all over Texas and elsewhere and has been doing these things most of his life, so he has a lot of knowledge and experience and some fantastic stories to tell.

Anyone interested in going on one of Clint's hunts or digs, or if you're a land owner and are interested in having Clint run hunts or digs on your property, you can reach him at the following contacts:
