What Happens When Women Stop Playing It Safe

Tana Grenda lives off the road system in remote Alaska, flying bush planes, hunting for food, and raising six kids where mistakes have real consequences.In this episode of The Wild Kitchen, Tiffany Bader sits down with Tana to talk about life without convenience and what that demands from the people living it. They get into fear, risk, and preparation, why skill matters more than confidence, and how time on the land changes the way people think, eat, and move through the world.The conversation spans subsistence food, women-only hunting retreats, physical training, health, and the realities of raising a family far from infrastructure. Tana also shares stories from recent hunts and trips, including time spent in Florida dealing with invasive species and the responsibility that comes with harvesting your own food.This episode is about capability, responsibility, and choosing a life that doesn’t offer many shortcuts.Guest Links🌿 Grenda’s Getaways (Wild Women’s Retreats & Adventures) — https://www.bristolbayretreats.com/🎙 Stuck N The Rut Podcast (Hosted by Adam & Tana Grenda) — https://stuckntherut.buzzsprout.com/📍 Wild Women’s Rendezvous (Event Info) — https://www.bristolbayretreats.com/wwridaho_____Silvercore is built on a lifetime spent outdoors, on ranges and in the company of people who live with skill, purpose and integrity.
