Ep. 95 Made In America with Andy Techmanski of FORLOH

Practicing conservation can take many forms. Buying a hunting license, joining an ecological advocacy organization, volunteering to help with habitat improvement projects, or even taking political action. One additional way you can participate in conserving the health of our favorite planet is by purchasing products that are made in America. By doing so, the materials used to make the products, and the products themselves have a much smaller carbon footprint by not needing to be shipped all over the globe. This in turn means less resources are depleted, air and water quality are improved, and less disturbance to ecosystems is needed to ship the products to the consumers. FORLOH has stepped up to do just this within the hunting apparel market. Andy Techmanski is the one responsible for this vision, and for seeing it through to production. Andy joins Alex and me in this episode to talk about the history of FORLOH, the importance of buying domestic products, and supporting local businesses. We also get to hear a crazy story about a zombie buck encounter Andy survived. You will definitely want to tune into this one to hear about everything going on at FORLOH!   Follow FORLOH: @forloh_official Follow Andy: @andytechmanski Follow The Hunt Fish Life: @hntfsh_life Follow Alex: @alexg.hunt Follow East2West Hunts: @east2westhunts Follow Caleb: @allamerican_outdoorsman Check out the First Gen Hunter Website Follow First Gen Hunter Instagram: @first.gen.hunter GoWild: @Kent Boucher Facebook: @first.gen.hunter   Support First Gen Hunter by shopping at the following partners: Spartan Forge Camofire Black Ovis My Medic AlienGear Holsters FORLOH MTN OPS Fox River Socks East2West Hunts Use promo code: firstgen10 = 10% off any purchase
