By Land Podcast
This podcast is about learning how to have better backcountry experiences and understanding why spending time outside matters in the first place.
I have conversations with people from diverse outdoor backgrounds to learn from them and hear their personal stories. I cover everything from backpacking, hiking, hunting, conservation, and outdoor skills to the broader role the outdoors can play in our health, perspective, and everyday lives.
Thanks for listening!

#56 - Going Feral with Jimmy Funkhouser
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Jimmy Funkhouser left the corporate world behind to start Feral. Fast forward just a few short years, and Feral is growing to the point where they’re opening a second location in Denver. Jimmy is doing things far differently than your average outdoor store - he meets the customer where they are in their journey and makes them feel at home and accepted no matter what.
