What's up everybody? Welcome back. Another Knock-On Podcast. This version of the podcast brought to you by you. You are sponsoring the podcast by being awesome and giving me questions and all kinds of cool topics.

Um, well, it's unfortunate some of my topics are people that maybe aren't doing it right. So sorry if that's you, but I'll help you out. I'll make sure you're, you're good to go.

Um, been a few weeks for the podcast, but I've been busy. Been in Alberta. I was up at Red Willow Outfitters. Um, man, what an epic trip. Super fun.

Uh, amazingly. Very last minute. Um, a hunter who had booked dropped out. So they called me and said that they wanted to try to fill one slot with a hunter.

So I called Andy Stump and I said, hey bro. Uh, you're in Montana. You're not that far. How about you pick me up the airport and save me rental car.

And he asked his wife and she said yes. Next thing you know, we had an adventure of lifetime. It was amazing. Got his first, uh, bowkills.

And we had an awesome time. It's always what I, what I say is if you go on a hunting trip with someone, especially one where you're putting on a lot of miles and wearing yourself out, uh, beating yourself up, everybody's got to do a lot of work for the other people there.

Whenever you're doing that, true colors come out and you're either friends with someone for life or you kind of recognize that maybe they're not your style. But yeah, we, uh, we had an awesome trip. It was super fun.

So many different stories to tell. I don't know. Some of you, um, when I asked what you wanted to hear about on this podcast, you said you wanted to hear about the trip.

Uh, we had some pretty cool stories about the trip on Andy's podcast, which is called cleared hot, uh, a really, really great podcast for any of you listen to mine and like the different, uh, different subjects that I talk about regarding integrity.

Uh, pretty much just being an all around good person and a lot of really cool subjects that, you know, make you a better person. Then make sure you check out Andy's and we've got a story on there, a couple stories that are hilarious.

Um, I actually listened to it on my plane ride home, even though I did the podcast a lot of times when I'm doing it with a friend, it's just like having a conversation. There's things I remember us talking about, but don't really remember.

So I did listen to it and that last 25 minutes, I was actually laughing out loud on the plane and literally crying out of my eyes. I don't know if it could have been from lack of sleep because four hours at the most average times 10 days.

Yeah, I was a little wore out, but it was an awesome trip and, um, yeah, it was just a perfect example of what it, you know, if you take a little bit of time and give a few days to someone who wants to get into archery wants to learn how to either shoot a target bow or learn how to be a hunter, um, dedicate some of your time.

And, you know, go out and mentor him and teach him. And in this case, uh, pretty much now I've got Andy who is, um, totally one up and me about every other day was something that he's hunting and with his resources, he's going crazy and put more in the freezer than I have already. So, um, I don't know, we're going to have a friendly competition with this deal.

But, uh, and I guess I can't really one up him because that means I'm going to have to get in a wing suit and start base jumping better than him, which isn't going to happen.

I jump from about three feet out of my, my bathroom onto my bed and that's about it. So that's as far as I'm going. I might do a, maybe I'll skydive with him, but I don't know, sharing could hang me for that.

But anyway, let's get into some of your questions here. There's a lot of them. I've kind of scrolled through some, um, just so I somewhat know the subjects that I'm talking about.

Um, I haven't really looked at them in too much detail other than just highlighting the ones, um, that are actual questions that I can ask, uh, or answer, I should say.
