I've been aware of Ryan for a while, but somehow never realized until a couple of weeks ago that he was a fisherman. I was surprised to learn that he carries a rod into the backcountry. As someone that has been trying to lighten his pack but wants to fish, I believe I willed this episode into existence.

So rarely first at this stuff but this is a great listen. And I don’t even fish! 👍🏻👍🏻
