I'm Clint Emerson and welcome to season two of can you survive this podcast, where the interview is just as dangerous as the scenarios I put my guests through.

From hostage situations to natural disasters, car jackings, active shooters, and more,

if you're looking for the skills necessary to survive these situations,

then this is the show for you.

Thank you for listening to another episode of Can You Survive this podcast?

Today I have a contributing editor at Men's Health Magazine, a columnist for Outside magazine and professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

His work has appeared in more than 60 countries and can also

be found in Men's Journal, New York, Vice, Scientific American, Esquire, and others. He lives in Las Vegas

on the edge of the desert with his wife and their two dogs.

Michael Easter, thank you for coming to the show.

Thanks for having me.

Thanks for giving the dogs a shout out as well.

It's important.

Otherwise, they're eaten in other countries.

Great having you here.
