Over the last few days I listened to this episode. I think it is a podcast episode that could appeal to many different interests: Extreme Sheep Hunting, Archeology, Science, History, Philosophy. I really enjoyed it.

One thing that really got me thinking was Hal and Bill talking about how extended periods of time in wild places can make accessible a connection to alternate realities - realities that are just as real as those we live today in our modern civilized life, but we no longer see them, though it is not because they are gone. I know "alternate realities" is a woo-woo term, but it doesn't have to be. In the instance of Kwäday Dän Ts'ìnchi, an indigenous man, hundreds of years old, that 3 sheep hunters found in a melting glacier - his life lense allowed him to see the world through a different spectrum, and he knew things to be real that we can now only reach out for, and maybe feel for a while until it slips away into fog of modern life. Being hunters, we can connect to some personal alternate realities, and I think that is one of the great virtues of hunting.
When the podcast was over I was fired up to check out of life and take off into wild places, but I'm about finished with my coffee. Time to drop the kids off at daycare, and then I'll head to work.
