The Green Way Conservation Club is officially here! Learn more, use the free advocacy tool, or become a founding member www.greenwayconservationclub.com In this episode of The Green Way Outdoors Podcast, Kyle, Jeff, Ryan, and AJ explain why they created the Green Way Conservation Club and how it can give Michigan hunters, anglers, trappers, and conservationists a faster, more effective way to make their individual voices heard. The club's free advocacy platform helps users learn about important outdoor issues, identify the correct elected representatives and wildlife officials, and send a message directly from their own email account. Whether someone agrees or disagrees with the Green Way Conservation Club's position, the system remains available for them to express their own view. The goal is to create a new town square for Michigan's outdoor community. Hunters and anglers will not agree on every issue, but disagreement should not prevent anyone from being represented. The platform is built around open discussion, transparent opinions, individual participation, and direct communication with the people responsible for making decisions. Kyle and Ryan also share their experience working through the Michigan United Conservation Clubs proposal process and explain why they believe the state's outdoor community needs an advocacy system that is faster, more accessible, and more transparent. The team then puts that approach into practice by examining two major Michigan issues. They break down House Bill 6008 and the debate surrounding a potential Michigan wolf season, presenting arguments from both sides before explaining the club's final position. They also examine House Bills 5801 and 5802, including the controversy surrounding expanded commercial access to walleye, yellow perch, and lake trout in the Great Lakes. The Green Way Conservation Club is also being built to connect people with hands-on opportunities. Its upcoming Conservation Calendar will help Michigan residents find river cleanups, habitat projects, tree plantings, wildlife research, and other ways to actively support the resources they care about. Members will also be able to submit emerging concerns, participate in live discussions, receive outdoor-industry benefits, and pass unused equipment along to a new hunter or angler. This episode is ultimately a call for unity. A trout fisherman may not personally participate in bear hunting, and a deer hunter may not spend much time fishing, but every part of Michigan's outdoor community has a responsibility to defend the others. The fight for conservation continues. The Green Way Conservation Club was created to make sure Michigan's hunters, anglers, and conservationists have a place to speak, participate, and be heard. #GreenWayConservationClub #MichiganConservation #MichiganOutdoors #MichiganHunters #WildlifeManagement Watch our HISTORY Channel show on:HISTORYWAYPOINT TVFollow us on:FacebookInstagramTwitterYoutubeOur Website

Send us your Mediocre 5 Star ReviewThis week's episode is a mix of studio chat and field recording as Tim answers an unexpected call to duty.With very little notice, Tim found himself rapidly throwing together a kit list, loading up the essentials, and heading off on a lengthy journey to a remote campsite. The mission? To spend a night under canvas and help rescue a damsel in distress. Not all heroes wear capes, and apparently some carry camping gear instead.From last-minute packing and travel challenges to the realities of an unplanned night in the great outdoors, Tim talks us through the adventure as it unfolded. Recorded partly on location, this episode captures the atmosphere, the highs, the lows, and the moments that make these sudden expeditions memorable.So settle in and join us as we hear how Tim stepped up, took one for the team, and embarked on what can only be described as an emergency camping mission.DISCLAIMER: Casual Camping Podcast accepts no liability and does not officially recommend any products or endorse any techniques discussed in an individual podcast episode or shown on Casual Camping Podcast social media accounts.

July has officially started, and if you haven't gone hiking or camping yet, you're probably thinking about it. But California, the great state that it is, is brimming with possibilities, especially when it comes to outdoor adventures.

Send us your Mediocre 5 Star ReviewIn this episode, Ade and Tim take a step back and look at their micro adventure with fresh eyes. A few days have passed since their night ascent of Mount Snowdon — the climb, the camp, the sunrise breakfast — and now it's time to reflect.They talk through what went well, what they'd do differently, and how the whole experience has settled in now that the dust has been brushed off and the tiredness has faded. From the quiet moments on the mountain to the laughter that carried them through the dark, it's a thoughtful debrief on what adventure really means when life is busy and time is short.There's honesty, humour, and a bit of perspective — the kind that only comes after doing something slightly mad and then having a few days to think about it. It's a conversation about lessons learned, memories made, and the lingering satisfaction of turning a simple idea into something unforgettable.DISCLAIMER: Casual Camping Podcast accepts no liability and does not officially recommend any products or endorse any techniques discussed in an individual podcast episode or shown on Casual Camping Podcast social media accounts.

Send us your Mediocre 5 Star ReviewIn this episode, Ade and Tim finally put their plan into action. After a full day at work, they jumped in the car, headed straight for Mount Snowdon, and began their night ascent. What followed was a mix of tired legs, head‑torch‑lit paths, unexpected moments of calm, and the kind of quiet excitement that only comes from doing something slightly unhinged on a weekday evening.They reached the summit in the dark, pitched the tent in the wind, and settled in for a few hours of cold, restless but unforgettable sleep. As dawn broke, they unzipped the tent to a rising sun spilling across the mountains, fired up the stove, and cooked breakfast and fresh coffee on the highest point in Wales. It was simple, surreal, and exactly the kind of moment that makes a micro adventure worth every step.With the sun fully up, they packed away the tent, began the long walk back down, and eventually made their way home — tired, muddy, buzzing, and already talking about what they might do next. Throughout the episode, you'll hear the real recordings from the climb, the summit, the early‑morning brew, and the journey back, capturing the atmosphere of the whole adventure exactly as it happened.It's the payoff to the planning, the reality behind the idea, and a reminder that even the wildest midweek plans can turn into something unforgettable.DISCLAIMER: Casual Camping Podcast accepts no liability and does not officially recommend any products or endorse any techniques discussed in an individual podcast episode or shown on Casual Camping Podcast social media accounts.

Jinhai pointed at a distant dragon boat race, his eyes sparkling with excitement.Zh: 他的热情感染了梅琳，她也心情愉悦地跟着他跑去观赛。En: His enthusiasm was infectious, and Meilin happily followed him to go watch the race.Zh: 太阳高挂天际，热浪渐渐袭来。En: The sun hung high in the sky, and heat waves gradually rolled in.Zh: 金海来回奔走于不同的活动中，虽然脸上依旧挂着笑容，但梅琳注意到他的呼吸开始变得急促。En: Jinhai ran back and forth between different activities, keeping a smile on his face, but Meilin noticed his breathing beginning to become rapid.Zh: 她心中一紧，悄悄跟在他身后，始终不敢放松警惕。En: Her heart tightened as she quietly followed him, never daring to let her guard down.Zh: 突然，金海停下脚步，用力扶住长城的墙壁，显得极其不适。En: Suddenly, Jinhai stopped in his tracks, gripping the Great Wall tightly, looking extremely uncomfortable.Zh: 他的呼吸开始变得困难，脸色也瞬间苍白。En: His breathing became difficult, and his face turned pale in an instant.Zh: 梅琳见状，毫不犹豫地跑上前扶住他，轻声问：“金海，你还好吗？”En: Seeing this, Meilin rushed up to support him without hesitation and softly asked, "Jinhai, are you okay?"Zh: 金海点点头，但显然呼吸不过来。En: Jinhai nodded, but it was obvious he couldn't catch his breath.Zh: 他伸手指向背包，梅琳立刻明白他的意思，迅速找出了他的吸入器，小心地递给他。En: He gestured toward his backpack, and Meilin immediately understood his meaning, quickly finding his inhaler and carefully handing it to him.Zh: 几分钟后，金海的呼吸逐渐平稳下来。En: A few minutes later, Jinhai's breathing gradually steadied.Zh: 他感激地看着梅琳，勉强露出一个微笑。“谢谢你，梅琳，”他轻声说。En: He looked at Meilin with gratitude, managing a faint smile. "Thank you, Meilin," he said softly.Zh: 梅琳松了一口气，但仍然心有余悸。En: Meilin breathed a sigh of relief, but still felt a lingering fear.Zh: “我们休息一下，好吗？节日的乐趣很多，我们不需要急着赶完所有活动。”En: "Shall we take a break?" she suggested. "There's plenty of festival fun; we don't need to rush to do everything."Zh: 金海点点头，脸上流露出真诚的谢意和理解。En: Jinhai nodded, expressing sincere gratitude and understanding on his face.Zh: 他意识到自己需要更好地照顾健康。En: He realized he needed to take better care of his health.Zh: 梅琳陪在他身边，轻声说：“你开心就是最重要的，我们慢慢享受。”En: Meilin stayed by his side, saying quietly, "Your happiness is the most important thing, let's enjoy it slowly."Zh: 最终，他们坐在城墙上，看着远处的龙舟比赛，感受微风拂面。En: In the end, they sat on the wall, watching the dragon boat race in the distance and feeling the breeze on their faces.Zh: 虽然金海没有参加所有的活动，但他的心情依旧很满足。En: Although Jinhai didn't participate in all the activities, he was still very content.Zh: 梅琳则感到更加自信，明白有时坚定地给予支持才能带来更好的结果。En: Meilin felt more confident, understanding that sometimes giving steadfast support leads to better outcomes.Zh: 这一天里，他们不仅享受了节日的快乐，也更明白了相互照顾和健康的重要性。En: On this day, they not only enjoyed the joys of the festival but also gained a deeper understanding of the importance of taking care of each other and health.Zh: 节日的烟火在空中绽放，照亮了皎洁的夜空，长城依旧矗立，见证了他们之间无声的理解和友谊。En: Festival fireworks burst in the sky, illuminating the bright night, while the Great Wall stood firm, witnessing the silent understanding and friendship between them.

Send us your Mediocre 5 Star ReviewThis week, Ade and Tim dive into the planning stage of their upcoming micro adventure — a simple but brilliant idea that's been bubbling away for a while. The plan is wonderfully straightforward: finish work one evening, jump in the car, head straight to Mount Snowdon, climb it in the dark, camp on the summit, and wake up ready to cook breakfast as the sun rises over the mountains.In this first part, they talk through how the idea came about, how they'll time the journey and the night ascent, and what they'll need to take with them to make the whole thing safe, fun, and just chaotic enough to feel like a proper adventure. There's plenty of gear chat, a bit of route pondering, and the usual mix of enthusiasm, questionable logic, and the kind of silliness that always seems to appear when these two start planning something mildly ridiculous.It's the build‑up, the excitement, and the anticipation — all the ingredients that make a micro adventure feel real before it's even begun.DISCLAIMER: Casual Camping Podcast accepts no liability and does not officially recommend any products or endorse any techniques discussed in an individual podcast episode or shown on Casual Camping Podcast social media accounts.

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when a 33-year McKinsey career ends on Friday — and you're on an ice wall by Saturday afternoon?Tom French, author of The Gap Years: Climbing, Skiing, and the Journey Back, joins us to talk about trading his corporate corner office for crampons, summiting Everest under a full moon at 2:15 AM, and why it's never too late to reclaim the passions of your younger years.Tom's story begins with a childhood shaped by legendary mountaineer Willi Unsoeld — the first man to climb Everest's West Ridge — who literally taught Tom to climb at age eight. Decades later, after raising a family and building an elite business career, Tom didn't quietly retire. He launched a gap year that stretched into three and a half extraordinary years of ice climbing, cross-country ski marathons, and two Everest expeditions.We dig into his gripping turnaround at 26,000 feet on his first summit attempt, the remote Makalu Barun approach he took on his second, and what the emotional release at base camp — not the summit — truly taught him about achievement.If you've ever felt too busy, too old, or too settled to chase a dream, this episode is for you.Episode Links:Tom on InstagramTom's WebsiteBuy a copy of The Gap YearsThis episode was Produced by Jordyn Smith, follow her on Instagram @jordyn.journeysFollow us on Instagram, @HikesandmicsThis episode's music was created by Ketsa, follow him on Instagram @Ketsamusic AllTrails+I'm excited to share that I'm now a Trailheads Ambassador for AllTrails+!

In this episode, we discuss something that seems simple. Trees are one of the most familiar living things on Earth, but when you really stop and think about how they work, they start to feel almost impossible. We break down the science of how trees grow, what they are actually made of, and how something weighing thousands of pounds can seem to come from almost nothing. Then we dive into a sad story of good intentions gone wrong. An Englishwoman tried to save a crayfish, but somehow ended up killing it instead. It is a weird, funny, and surprisingly educational example of how good intentions in nature can sometimes go completely sideways. We also explore new science about how birds navigate across massive distances. From magnetic fields to visual landmarks to biological systems we are still trying to fully understand, bird migration is one of the most incredible examples of design.  Watch our HISTORY Channel show on:  HISTORY: https://www.history.com/shows/the-green-way-outdoors  &  WAYPOINT TV: https://waypointtv.com/watch/the-green-way-outdoors  Follow us on:  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheGreenWayOutdoors/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thegreenwayoutdoors/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/thegreenwayout?lang=en  Youtube: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCjR5r6WwXcPKK0xVldNT5_g  Website: www.thegreenwayoutdoors.com Watch our HISTORY Channel show on:HISTORYWAYPOINT TVFollow us on:FacebookInstagramTwitterYoutubeOur Website

Send us Fan MailWhat makes a hike truly unforgettable? National Geographic Explorer, Outside Magazine contributing editor, and author Stephanie Pearson joins us to find out.Her new book, 100 Hikes of a Lifetime U.S.A. (out now), was born from one of the hardest seasons of her life — and launched with a lightning storm on the Maah Daah Hey Trail in North Dakota. In this conversation, Stephanie opens up about how her mother's passing, an emergency eye surgery in Sweden, and the stillness of COVID reshaped the way she sees the trails in her own backyard.We cover it all: redefining what a "hike of a lifetime" really means, managing overcrowded trails like the Kalalau Trail in Hawaiʻi and popular trails in Sedona, why the Superior Hiking Trail is tougher than it looks, what the Selma to Montgomery Trail taught her about American history, and why the Tahoe Rim Trail might be the perfect first through-hike.Stephanie also shares her thoughts on trail volunteerism, the grief of watching glaciers disappear, hidden gems across the Midwest, and why sometimes — the best hikes don't require a passport.

In this volume of the Trails & Tribulations series on the Just Trek podcast, I welcome back Juan Flores (Outdoor Adventures+, Nature's Palette, Urban Youth Nature Project) as he recounts first attempt of big bad, Iron Mountain in the San Gabriel Mountains near Bridge to Nowhere in December 2021. Starting at midnight on a 16 mile out-and-back, Juan and his friend encounter mountain lion chirps ahead and behind around 2AM while two women in their group push far ahead. After reaching the summit around 7AM, the brutal descent turns dangerous: Juan is left behind, runs out of water after starting with two liters, becomes lost on a false trail without a map, and collapses exhausted with miles remaining until a stranger with a dog finds him. It took 16 grueling hours for him to complete this trek and he shares key lessons on carrying more water, downloading maps, not relying on guides, and staying over-prepared.Have you ever experienced a survival moment or learned a tough lesson on the trail? Maybe you got lost, faced sudden weather, encountered wildlife, or found yourself pushed to your limits in ways you didn't expect. Trails & Tribulations is the space where those stories come to life, inspiring and connecting the outdoor community.

In this episode, we break down the real situation behind Michigan's deer policies. The buck to doe ratio problem. The drop in harvest numbers. The science being used to justify new rules. And the growing frustration from hunters who feel like things just aren't adding up. Should Michigan move to a one buck rule for deer hunting? We break down one of the biggest debates in Michigan deer management right now. The conversation covers the Lower Peninsula specifically and digs into the real issues hunters keep bringing up, including buck to doe ratio concerns, antler point restrictions, the bait ban, harvest numbers, hunter satisfaction, disease concerns, and whether Michigan is actually creating better deer management or just adding more restrictions. We talk through the major sides of the argument. Some hunters believe a one buck rule would help create more selective harvest and improve the age structure of bucks. Others believe an earn a buck system would make more sense by requiring doe harvest before buck harvest, which could more directly address the imbalance between bucks and does. We also get into the argument over APRs, how they work in Michigan now, and whether they truly help improve buck quality or simply protect deer with poor antler traits that should not stay in the breeding pool. We also dives into the controversy around the Lower Peninsula bait ban and the belief that reduced harvest numbers may actually be making Michigan's deer issues worse instead of better. Kyle explains why he believes any serious deer management plan has to stay consistent with the science being used to justify it. If the concern is disease spread and overpopulation, then the state has to look honestly at whether current rules are helping hunters remove enough deer from the landscape. Along the way, we talk about hunting ethics, managing wounded or genetically poor deer in the field, how different Michigan regions should be treated differently, why hunter input matters, and why accurate deer reporting is critical if the DNR and hunters are ever going to get on the same page. This is a real conversation about conservation, deer management, hunting culture, regulations, and what the future of Michigan deer season should actually look like. If you care about Michigan deer hunting, whitetail management, the DNR, APRs, the bait ban, doe harvest, trophy buck potential, wildlife policy, or the future of hunting in the Midwest, this is a conversation worth hearing. Watch the full podcast and join the conversation in the comments.

Mark Peterson grew up on a fifth-generation fruit farm in Michigan, managed five processing facilities and a thousand employees by age 22, and then walked away from all of it to chase pheasants. What followed was one of the more unlikely success stories in the outdoor industry. In this conversation, Mark traces his path from farm kid to acquiring Cabela's Outdoor Adventure and Tag Service to building Worldwide Trophy Adventures into the largest hunting booking agency in the world, with outfitters in every corner of the globe and owned operations across Canada, Colorado, Kentucky and Mexico. But the conversation goes well beyond booking hunts. Mark talks about why private landowners are among the most underappreciated conservation partners in North America, how upland bird habitat is the first thing lost when land use changes, and what it actually takes to build a long-term lease relationship with a landowner that works for both sides. He also covers where the hunting industry is headed over the next five years, why access is tightening and costs are climbing, and what COVID quietly did to hunting participation numbers that nobody is talking about. For landowners who lease hunting rights, land agents who work with recreational properties, and anyone who has ever thought about turning their land into a hunting destination, this one covers the full picture.
