Famed Kiwi outdoorsman Sam Gibson's found some more stories in the bush - and he's turned his findings into a new book. Sam is deeply passionate about hunting, foraging, trapping, fishing and conservation, and even spent some time working for the Department of Conservation.  A Bushman's Book of Yarns aims to teach readers about New Zealand's unique ecosystems and wildlife.  "Now that I'm a Gisborne District Councillor, I do speaking gigs around the country, I've got young kids - like, a bit of time in the bush just by myself would be amazing."  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
