Thinking About Going Full-Time Outdoors? Listen To This First | Wild Ways Podcast Ep 1

Thinking about ditching the 9-5 for full-time hunting, trapping, fishing, foraging, and wilderness living? In this Wild Ways Podcast episode, I share raw lessons from my chaotic first year making the leap in North Central BC.I jumped in without a solid plan—big mistake. Reality hit hard: constant discomfort (cold, wind, breakdowns), income drops, procrastination on content, and the humbling power of nature. But it's also freeing—no more phone distractions, politics, or being beholden to anyone but God, family, and yourself.Key tips covered:Build a clear vision/mission (mine: God, family, lifestyle first)Plan the transition—don't burn bridges impulsivelyCut expenses ruthlessly (fix your own gear, ditch subscriptions/eating out)Schedule like a job (show up daily, even for filming/editing)Embrace multiple revenue streams (trapping seasons, guiding, foraging sales, content, products)Study old masters (e.g., Johnny Thorp beaver videos)Handle ego, naysayers, and the learning curvePrioritize adventure over comfort—especially as you ageJoin Us on You Tube Lymans Wild Ways https://youtube.com/@lymanswildways?si=rQNtkQUJfU2MT59CWild Ways Podcast https://youtube.com/@wildwayspodcast?si=gLyEPnR9fumtFDftCheck Out Our Website for more info and products https://www.thewildways.caSupport the show
