Episode 235: Can Hunting Save Our Connection to Nature?

One cousin grew up in the city. The other grew up hunting, fishing and living off the land. Together, Joel and Ryan Primus created Finding Nowhere, a raw Canadian adventure series that climbed all the way to #4 on Prime Video.On Episode 235 of Outdoor Journal Radio, Angelo Viola and Pete Bowman sit down with Joel and Ryan to uncover how Finding Nowhere began almost by accident and became one of the most compelling new outdoor productions in Canada.They discuss why Joel’s first hunt happened on camera, how Ryan introduced his city-raised cousin to wilderness life, and why the show connects with hunters, non-hunters and anyone curious about living closer to the land. From sleeping in a century-old cabin filled with critters to fishing disasters, banana superstitions, post-hunt rituals and the responsibility of portraying hunting honestly, nothing is off the table.The cousins also reveal what is coming next for Finding Nowhere, how their families are becoming part of the journey and why they refuse to sacrifice the show’s authenticity as its audience and sponsor support continue to grow.Plus:• New research suggesting Great Lakes bass may live more than 20 years• Whether gobies, genetics and longer growing seasons are producing bigger bass• The right way to handle unpredictable fish without taking a hook to the hand• Ontario’s move toward digital fishing and hunting licences• The spread of purple loosestrife and Canada’s invasive carp threat• The official winner of the Garmin ECHOMAP Ultra 2 GiveawayShop Fish’n Canada merchandise:https://shop.fishncanada.comSubscribe to Outdoor Journal Radio for weekly conversations about fishing, hunting, conservation and life in the Canadian outdoors.Listen to our Podcast, Outdoor Journal Radio: The Podcast► Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3J0klPY► Apple Music: https://apple.co/3CtzZkp► Subscribe  http://bit.ly/youtube-fishncanadaDon't forget to leave a COMMENT and give us a LIKE if you enjoyed what you saw.
