This episode is one of my podcast appearances on the Publicly Challenged Podcast hosted by Luke Oswald, who is an avid outdoorsman and foodie himself.Luke had me on his podcast to chat a bit about my background and how I got obsessed with wild food procurement. Along those lines, we talk about all things hunting in Germany and how the hunting system is structured over there. We also get into the many opportunities and freedoms of hunting, fishing, and foraging here in the United States.It was a pleasure to sit down with Luke on the Publicly Challenged Podcast and I hope to have him on this podcast soon. Definitely check out some of the episodes he has with other hunters and people in the wild food community.Use code “yearofplenty” for 15% OFF at www.mtblock.comLeave a review on Apple or Spotify and send a screenshot to theyearofplenty@gmail.com to receive a FREE EBOOK with my favorite food preservation recipes.NEW BLOG: ULTIMATE FORAGING GEAR LIST - Check it outSupport the podcast via donations:https://www.patreon.com/poldiwielandhttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/yearofplentySign up for the newsletter:www.theyearofplenty.com/newsletterSubscribe to the Youtube VLOG:https://www.youtube.com/@yearofplentypodcastDo you follow the podcast on social media yet?IG: https://www.instagram.com/poldiwieland/Twitter: https://twitter.com/theyearofplentyFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/theyearofplenty/Connect with Luke Oswald:https://www.instagram.com/publicly_challenged/Subscribe directly using your podcast app. The show is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, and many other platforms!Please rate and review the show in the Apple Podcast and Spotify apps.
