The Grey Range - Episode 32 w/ Kelsey Pelletier– “White Lightning"
If your life was a movie, would it be worth watching?There is a level of work and commitment that most of the couch-bound, screen scrolling masses will never understand. A level of achievement and satisfaction that will never be known by those who cower from the immensity of the task that is…

The Grey Range - Episode 31 – “It’s a Madhouse!"
The whole world is politics. It sucks, but it’s true. But I think there’s an antidote to the ragemob and the fear and loathing that permeates our brains, courtesy of the littlerage rectangle we so ubiquitously cling to these days. Put it down. Go outside. “Touch grass.” As the kids say. You don’t...

The Grey Range - Episode 30 – w/ Landon Mortensen - “Will Not Comply"
How much do you value your principles? How willing are you to lose everything based on the weight of your convictions, or your morals? Easy questions to ask. Harder questions to answer. Over the past few years, we have all been asked to take stock and measure what it is we truly value. It has…

The Grey Range - Episode 29 – w/ Chris Thiessen - “Daffodils"
There is a quote that has always stuck with me. It comes from a conversation between punk rock legend Iggy Pop and one of my favorite humans to ever exist, the late Anthony Bourdain (RIP), from Season 5, Episode 2 of his program on CNN “Parts Unknown”.“Curious is a good thing to be. Y’know. It...

The Grey Range - Episode 28 – w/ Charles Biegel - “Plastic Islands"
Some say that today’s youth are going to be feckless zombies programmed by AI algorithms and government and corporate propaganda. Plugged into the Virtual Reality, or Augmented Reality world, living off UBI and creating nothing of value. I think every generation thinks that the ones that come…

The Grey Range - Episode 27 – “Angels for Lions"
Well, 2025 has sure started off with a tailwind! By the time this episode airs, Donald Trump will have been the 47th President of the United States for a couple of weeks, The Canadian Liberal Party will be most of the way to choosing their new leader, and the rest of the world is likely trying to...

The Grey Range - Episode 26 - w/ Mike Davison - "Legendary"
What do you do when the world seems to push back at every effort you put forward? How do you reconcile your dreams, your plans, and your goals, when the very fabric of the reality you inhabit seems to resist your every move? How do you overcome the obstacles that seek to thwart your progress?…

The Grey Range - Episode 25 w/ Ernie Doble - "Community Homesteading and Preparedness"
The world is an uncertain place. These days it seems even more so. We inhabit a strangely dystopian present, where we no longer so easily carry the blind trust in our institutions and our social fabric that we once did. Some of this can be attributed to the downstream effects of the COVID…

The Grey Range - Episode 24 - w/ Kenton Osterlund - "Whiskey Painted Holocaust"
"Black death negative..." That's how it starts. Those are the first 3 words in my new collection titled, "Whiskey Painted Holocaust". And what better way to dive into the new book than to line up 3 bottles of fine whiskey and bourbon and get 2 of my homeboys to join me in reading a few pieces…

The Grey Range – Episode 23 – w/ Ben Brochu – “Hinterland Outdoors”
What does it mean to live a life full of adventure? What separates those who climb mountains, travel unnamed rivers, and leave the life they know behind to sail unknown seas, from those who seek the calm, secure comfort of hearth and home? Well, if anyone can give us a hint, it’s Ben Brochu of...
-
The Grey Range – Episode 22 – w/ Preston Tourigny – “Martial Controls”
Do you own a pistol? If you answered, “No”, then I am sad for you. Sad, and a little disappointed. I’m especially sad if you live in Canada, where the sale and transfer of ownership of pistols and numerous types of rifles, shotguns, and other firearms was recently banned. But that’s a topic for...

The Grey Range - Episode 21 - "Growing Season" and the "King of 2 Mile"

The Grey Range – Episode 20 w Pastor Travis Hansen – “A Lighthearted Chat With an Angel”
Hey, everybody. What is the point of struggle? Does God test us with pointless, horrible events in our lives, or is there truly a plan for us? In my life, I have learned that I wrestle with my own purpose and finding meaning in my life, not as a symptom of some illness that afflicts me, but…

The Grey Range – Episode 17 w/ Mel Siggelkow – “Rising Above”
You don’t have to look too hard to see that there’s something wrong with the world. Tent cities and hopeless addicts have become part of the urban landscape in every North American city, but I think we all share the uncomfortable knowledge that it goes deeper than that. Few people these days need...
-
The Grey Range – Episode 16 w/ Jeremy Durand – “Creative Vibes”
How important is it that we are connected digitally? Do the fiber optic cables that run into our homes, the cellular tower networks, and the fields of energy that carry our data entwine with our lives in ways we haven’t yet started to understand? Have these technological connections woven their…

The Grey Range – Episode 15 w/ Josh Pøpøvitch – “The Autodidact”
Self-made people intrigue us. Individuals who aren’t hemmed in by the gates and fences of the world, who indulge their seemingly insatiable curiosity to whatever ends may come, inspire us. The type of people who see possibilities and potential where others see barriers and obstacles are the kind…

The Grey Range – Episode 14 w/ Ken Orich - "The Forest Ranger"
There have been a few unexpected takeaways since I started doing “The Grey Range Podcast.” Maybe it’s the hours of editing footage and watching cuts over and over, but it has occurred to me that one of the biggest things that I have gained out of this whole exercise is an appreciation for the…

The Grey Range Podcast - Episode 13 w/ Dustin Goodheart - "A Smile on A Good Day"
Everyone has a path, and not all paths are clear and evident when one first starts down it. Such is the life of our most recent guest, Dustin Goodheart. Dustin has been a friend of mine since high school, and as it is with most folks, you drift apart and lose touch over time. But when we...

-
The Grey Range Podcast - Episode 11 w/ Laine Ingalls - "Play"

The Grey Range Podcast - Episode 10 - 2023 Year End Update - "Push"
Who drops their "Year in Review" episode in mid-February? Well, people who work in the Alberta energy industry for one. Okay, that's a cheap cop out. Time is precious and time management is something I'm going to be working on in 2024, as my co-host and most awesome homeboy, Lucas Orich and I...
-
The Grey Range Podcast – Ep. 09 w/ Mike Davison – “High Flyers and Deep Divers”
In this world, there are all kinds of people. Most live in pursuit of some form of relative safety and comfort, slowly building on past successes and trying not to mess things up too bad. Then there are the outliers, those who look at their lives and see their place in the world and think, “Why?”...

The Grey Range Podcast – Ep. 08 w/ Steve “Stevo” Fitchie – “Mighty Peace 3-Gun”
Sometimes in life, you meet a truly unique individual. They are someone who sees the world a little clearer than most. Their mind seems to grasp ideas in their fullness, and their curiosity and drive to understand knows no bounds. Steve “Stevo” Fitchie is such an individual, and we are happy to...
-
The Grey Range Podcast – Ep. 07 w/ Ben Bauce – “The Comedian”
Well, this one was almost a “lost episode.” Time constraints, bad memory cards, sloppy camera positioning, all contributed to making this the most challenging episode to produce so far, but we persevered, and we are happy to bring to you our funniest episode yet! Ben Bauce spends his daylight…

The Grey Range Podcast - Ep. 0.5 w/ Lucas Orich
This is the first, sort of "Pilot" episode of my new podcast, "The Grey Range Podcast." I was fortunate to have Lucas Orich, a good friend of mine, stop in and be my first interview. This video recording/editing was all done in house, by me, so it's rough, but it's the beginning of what I hope…
