Nothing short of inspirational, Martin Gerdin's journey through crafting wild fish in hot glass is inextricably tangled with his evolution to mental health and sobriety. Beginning during the pandemic, the artist has hand-blown dozens of meticulously detailed trout, salmon, redfish, and other revered gamefish from his glassblowing studio, Gerdin Glass in Crawford, Colorado. The dangers, volatility, and physical labor of blowing glass are symbolic of the challenges he faced and conquered on his pathway to sober living.  For some, fly fishing is a pastime, something fun to pursue on a long weekend or camping trip with friends and family. For others, it's a calling, a religion, lionized in the literary creations of Ernest Hemingway and Norman Maclean among many others. Gerdin clearly falls into the latter category. He states: “Some say fly fishing is an art. I spend my days on our stunning Colorado river systems catching beautiful wild trout, and I spend my nights in the studio recreating them in glass. My life is a confluence of passion.” Gerdin's father, a professional skier for most of his career, decided to raise his family as far away from civilization as possible. In the Rocky Mountains, some 8,500 feet above sea level, his son's community was built around skiing, conventional fishing, and dirt bikes. Gerdin's mother played a central role in his early angling and artistic exploits. “There were two archetypes in my home growing up — the super athletes and the artist fishermen, and nothing in between,” he states. Gerdin and his mother connected through time spent fishing their local waterways while other members of the family were focused on more physically demanding recreation on the mountain. When not on the water, his mother would create complex beaded and woven patterns in her home art studio. Raised in the wilderness, Gerdin's childhood fostered a love for the natural forms and colors that surrounded him during his youth, especially those in the rivers. He began blowing glass in 2008, when he discovered the hot shop at his high school, Colorado Rocky Mountain School in Basalt, Colorado, headed by Dave Powers and after Gerdin graduated by Jose Chardiet. Fascinated by the material, he spent every spare moment learning and absorbing as much as he could. Being an avid fisherman, blown glass fish were a natural progression in his artistic journey. As Gerdin grew, he lost his way. Addiction clawed its way into every aspect of his life, and he lost his vision for the future. Doing craft shows and drinking enough to prevent seizures due to alcoholism became the norm. On May 13, 2020, he decided enough was enough. After addiction treatment he fell into a crowd of young, sober fly fishermen. With a clear head and a fresh perspective, the artist strived to bring the beautiful wild salmonids he saw to life in glass. Since his sobriety date, Gerdin has made more than 700 fish, making his own tools and trying to push the limits in sculpting realism. His collectors are many and include the likes of other fly fishermen such as Kevin Costner and Jimmy Kimmel.  Moving into the next iteration of his craft, Gerdin is pushing his technical and creative skills to realize a new series of trout, which he calls Naturalisms, stemming from the philosophical idea that everything arises from natural properties and causes. At age 31, his journey is just beginning. From March 7 -9, Gerdin will demonstrate his processes and techniques at Third Degree Glass Factory, St. Louis, Missouri. Founded in 2002, it is a multifaceted venue for year-round exhibitions, classes, events and studio rental. Register for the Glasma Conference at studioglassbatch.com.

If you're a longtime Mountain & Prairie listener, then you'll definitely remember Pete McBride. He's a renowned photographer, filmmaker, and author, and he's joined me on the podcast twice before– once to discuss his epic hike of the length of the Grand Canyon, and then to chat about his global search for silence in a very loud world. I'm glad to say that he's back again, and this time, we're chatting about his backyard river– the mighty Colorado– and the challenges, opportunities, and realities facing the people and wildlife that depend on it. - Pete's newest book is titled “The Colorado River: Chasing Water,” and it features Pete's stunning photography and insightful essays, along with a foreword by Nick Paumgarten and an introduction by Kevin Fedarko. The book follows the Colorado River from its headwaters in the Rocky Mountains all the way down to the Colorado River Delta, where it peters out just before reaching the Gulf of California. - I've read a lot of books about the Colorado River and water in the West, but “Chasing Water” opened my eyes to a number of very specific and sometimes-maddening challenges facing the Colorado River Basin. The book delves into issues such as the unchecked exportation of water-intensive alfalfa to foreign countries, how dust leads to increased evaporation and water loss, as well as more optimistic topics, such as how Las Vegas has become an imperfect-yet-inspiring case study in responsible water conservation. But at its core, the book demonstrates Pete's deep love and respect for the Colorado River, and showcases his two decades of dedication to telling the story of this world-famous waterway. - We met up at Pete's house in Basalt, overlooking the Roaring Fork River, and talked about all things water and conservation. We started by talking about Pete's father, and how his advice many years ago led Pete to shift his focus from global adventure photography to the Colorado River. We discussed the disconnect between people and their water sources, the challenge of using an over-appropriated water source to grow food for an entire country, Pete's firsthand experience observing changes in the river and surrounding landscape, his work with Indigenous communities throughout the basin, and his preferences between photography, filmmaking, and writing. We also discuss some of his recent favorite books, and much, much more. - Be sure to check out the episode notes for a full list of everything we discussed and links to all of Pete's books. - A big thanks to Pete for graciously letting me barge into his house and hassle him with questions yet again, and thank you for listening.  --- Pete McBride The Colorado River: Chasing Water by Pete McBride Seeing Silence: The Beauty of the World's Quietest Places by Pete McBride The Grand Canyon: Between River and Rim by Pete McBride Into the Grand Canyon documentary Full episode notes & links: https://mountainandprairie.com/pete-mcbride-3/ --- TOPICS DISCUSSED: 3:30 - All the places Pete has seen in the Colorado River watershed 6:30 - How Pete's dad influenced Pete's career  11:30 - The immense changes to the Colorado River over the course of Pete's father's lifetime 13:00 - Reconciling how much of the West's water comes from the Colorado, and how few people know it  14:30 - Pete's hope for his new book 18:00 - Pete's style of writing for this visual book  21:00 - Discussing how much Colorado River water goes to cattle and cattle feed, and the water challenges that face agriculture 29:00 - The impact of dust on Rocky Mountain snow, and how that impacts the Colorado River 34:30 - Highlighting an unexpected water conservation success story: Las Vegas, and how southwestern cities can start conserving their water.  39:00 - How many times Colorado River water has been reused along its trek to Mexico, and discussing the state of the Colorado River Delta 44:45 - How Peter wants to divide his time between books and films, and a discussion about “earning” hope 53:00 - Pete's work with Indigenous communities' access to Colorado River Water 1:01:00 - Pete's book recommendations --- ABOUT MOUNTAIN & PRAIRIE: Mountain & Prairie - All Episodes Mountain & Prairie Shop Mountain & Prairie on Instagram Upcoming Events About Ed Roberson Support Mountain & Prairie Leave a Review on Apple Podcasts

Colter Hinchliffe is living proof that the Aspen rockstar ski bum dream not only exists but it can thrive if your heart is in the right place.

He was tending bar in Aspen, making handfuls of cash, allowing him to travel anywhere in the world at a minute's notice...That lifestyle put him in AK and eventually in a helicopter with the TGR crew when he was 25 years old, and that, combined with an unexpected Powder Magazine cover, helped Colter graduate from ski bum to pro skier pretty late in the game.

Farmed salmon was the UK's most valuable food export in 2023, according to the HMRC, with £581 million pounds worth of international sales. But Scotland's salmon farmers reckon they could have made far more, and that Brexit has cost them up to £100 million a year worth of exports.Flax is grown commercially to produce fabrics like linen in the Netherlands, Belgium and Northern France and it was once common in fields around the UK too, but not any more. However, some small-scale flax producers are passionate about its potential and feel it could, once again, have a commercial future. We visit Simon and Ann Cooper who grow flax and use traditional methods and home-made tools to process it into fabrics for things like sailcloth and fishing nets.And new research suggests spreading basalt dust on arable fields could help capture carbon and boost yields. The process is known as ‘enhanced rock weathering' and uses a by-product of the road-building industry.Presented by Caz Graham Produced for BBC Audio in Bristol by Heather Simons
