Summary
Ron and Theresa Miskin from the Buffalo Wool Company join Fieldcraft Survival Director of Training Kevin Estela to discuss their line of products made from the American Buffalo. Estela has used the BWC products since 2015 and swears by them for warmth. The Miskins took their passion for producing thread and turned it into their company that has become the standard for Iditarod racers, explorers, hunters, and outdoorsmen. Some products are even sold at the Fieldcraft Survival HQ and can be found on Mike Glover's feet.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Fieldcast for a while, podcast. I'm your host for this episode and I am currently |
| 0:18.2 | sitting in a pair of socks and other clothes, by the way, not just socks. And I want to tell |
| 0:23.8 | you that this is the podcast that, you know, people are going to say, oh, you know, there |
| 0:28.0 | might be other podcasts that are really interesting about gear or survival training or all the other |
| 0:32.0 | stuff that I do. And I always tell people like, look, you know, there's some basics that you |
| 0:36.0 | got to cover before you go out in the field. And one of them is, you know, take care of your feet. |
| 0:39.7 | So here's a quick little tale about this guest that I've got on. In 2015, I, 2015 or late, or |
| 0:48.4 | early 2016, I'm walking around the Harrisburg grid American on door show. And a buddy of mine is |
| 0:53.4 | like, oh, you got to go check out that operation. And I check them out and, you know, we start talking and |
| 0:58.1 | the owner of the company, he and his wife are like, oh, we'll take care of you when you go up to Alaska. |

| 1:13.0 | I'm like, without fail, Buffalo will company. And they'll say, well, why do you believe that? And I can |
| 1:18.8 | tell you and I'm going to tell you throughout the podcast. These are my favorite. But I'm going to |
| 1:23.2 | let the owner tell you. And it's a really interesting company with regard to how they do it, how they |
| 1:29.3 | got started, all the different things that they branched off into, I mean, Glover wears the socks. |
| 1:34.6 | I mean, he, you know, if you know Glover, he shows his toes a lot, which his toes are like my toes. |
| 1:39.9 | They're kind of weird in that like he could probably hang upside down by his feet. So I like it when |
| 1:44.2 | he shows his toes covered. And they're usually in the Buffalo will sock. So with that really long |
| 1:50.7 | overdrawn introduction, that's a little strange because I'm highly, highly caffeinated right now. |
| 1:55.6 | I present to you my guest today, Ron Miskin of the Buffalo will company. Ron, how are you doing, buddy? |
| 2:01.0 | I have to do it great, sir. And it is wonderful to hear that you're wearing other clothes in |
