Welcome to the Field Crafts of All podcast. I'm your host this time around. My name is Kevin Estella.

The lead survival instructor, media guy, kind of Jack of all trades. You guys are in for a really really really good time today because I get to interview someone else who is a kind of Jack of all trades master of every one of those trades or someone who I highly respect. But guys before we get to the interview with Jerry Young.

I want to talk about black rifle coffee, black rifle coffee is what I am currently consuming. I've got it in my coffee mug that I don't know.

I guess it was kind of like a like a beige coffee mug, but it's turned brown because I never wash it. People think it's really gross when you do that, but quite honestly it's just coffee, right? Like how bad could it be? And if it's germs, it's just my germs.

So right now I'm drinking just black. But I'll tell you, I think the flying elk is my new favorite black rifle coffee blend or brew whatever you want to call it.

And we have all of it over at field craft survival HQ and we drink it here at production and I'll tell you, it's pretty much in our veins. I think it's part of our DNA right now.

I don't know what Evan and the boys over there put into this coffee, but I'll tell you it's it's what keeps me flowing.

As long as it's flowing from my mug into my mouth, I'm good to go.

Oh Jesus, that was way too hot. My mouth is on fire. I think I just swallowed lava. All right. So this podcast is brought to you by our group.

We brought to you by our good friends over at black rifle coffee. They're in Salt Lake City. We stop by there all the time. They host some really cool events.

You know, my good friend Dana from Caffaro. She's over there now. And yeah, we enjoy hanging out with those folks. So please check them out. Get some of their ready to drink stuff.

Get their instant coffee, get their cake cups. They call them coffee rounds. Guys, you can find black rifle coffee pretty much everywhere.

They better known company. They employ a lot of veterans, solid solid people. They make all their own t-shirts. They do all sorts of stuff over there. Please, please support them.

As I mentioned, this podcast is going to feature one of our field crafts rival instructors Jerry Young. And I know he's a coffee drinker. So we're going to get to this podcast right now.

And I think you guys are in for a treat. So here we go.

Jerry Young, my good friend. My good friend of all these years. How the hell are you today?

Good to know how are you? Oh my god. Pretty good. You know, we just had a company meeting. I usually do these podcasts right afterwards. And you know, when we get all pumped up and you've been on those meetings, you know, I kind of get it excited for where the company is going.

And now I get to take that excitement and bring into this podcast, talking to you. And we get to talk about all sorts of stuff that I know people are going to want to hear because I mean, let's just face it. There's a lot of stuff in your history. That's quite interesting. And you are definitely the king of one liners. So, man, it's been a day.

Yeah.

So let's just start talking. Just shoot the proverbial. You know what? I'm trying to remember the first time we talked and I'm pretty sure I've got an idea. And I'm pretty sure it was before a winter trip in 2006.

Was it slush pond? No, I think we might have actually met at the original war. Were you with the original war at the Wilderness Learning Center? Yeah, that so that was that September.
