Self-made people intrigue us. Individuals who aren’t
hemmed in by the gates and fences of the world, who indulge their seemingly insatiable curiosity to whatever ends may come, inspire us. The type of people who see possibilities and potential where others see barriers and obstacles are the kind of people whom we tend to want to imitate and follow. They’re generally positive people. Quick to laugh, and fun to be around, while not being too enamored with either themselves, or anyone else. To them, curiosity and discovery is their own reward.

On this episode of The Grey Range, we are fortunate to
sit down with Josh Pøpøvitch, a young man from Fairview, AB who makes his living in construction, but spends the rest of his time creating useful and beautiful pieces from steel, wood, leather, and bone. In addition to doing
custom knives, steelwork, leatherwork, furniture, and some light taxidermy for his company, Spartan Industries, Josh is also the creator behind the “this_tactical_redneck”
Instagram channel, where he showcases his creations, his love of the western lifestyle, fitness, and the ever present “Sunday Gunday” posts.

Thank you, Josh for coming into the studio! We had a great time!
