Summary

"Don't confuse me with being anything else other than proud. Proud to be a hunter. It's time we stop apologizing for how we get our protein. This is who we are. Unless you’re a small time rancher, small time farmer, a hunter or fishermen... you really have no idea where your food comes from. Most people don’t even think about it. Well, we think about it. ” —Donnie Vincent

Donnie Vincent — explorer, biologist, conservationist, and sportsman — explores some of the world’s most remote lands, sharing stories of his expeditions through a variety of films that inspire conservation and a love and respect for wild places. Donnie is here to share some insights on hunting that, for many of you, may be surprising. He sets the record straight on the stereotype of the “typical” hunter, and sheds light on the passion for ecology and conservation that most hunters possess. We also get into some helpful tips for getting started in hunting and the practicality of procuring meat for yourself and family through this avenue. No matter what your views on hunting, I think you’ll enjoy and resonate with Donnie’s message.

0:19.0	You're it instincts. Welcome back to the Rewild Yourself Podcast. I'm your host Daniel Vitalis. This show is brought
0:31.2	to you by Sir Thrival.com. Sir Thrival is a company I
0:35.0	started about eight years ago and I want to describe the challenge of what I do. People
0:40.3	often ask you know my girlfriend's in, so I cross that border a lot,
0:43.6	and that's a place where they always ask, what do you do for a living?
0:46.7	And that's a complicated answer for me.
0:49.6	So usually I'll say I run a nutritional supplement company. I don't like saying that because I don't really
0:54.8	when I think of nutritional supplements I think of like GNC I think of isolated chemical compounds I think about low quality
1:07.4	non nutritious I don't know chemical powders and pills and such what I think of my products as being our
1:16.2	Nutritional concentrates or whole food concentrates
1:19.5	But people don't really have associations to that in fact I guess what I really think of a lot of what we do is crude extracts,
1:25.4	but we found that that's not great marketing, crude extract.
1:29.5	But what it means is, you know, if we're gonna to take something like we do a crude extract of Rashi, for instance,
1:36.1	that means we're not trying to refine out one ingredient from there. We're not trying to just get out the
1:41.2	beta glucans. We're giving you the everything that can be
1:45.8	concentrated from that mushroom and alcohol and water. When we do an elk antler
1:49.6	extract we don't just trying to get just the IGF one the way you would find that in like a chemical isolated form
