Bushman Hamiora "Sam the Trap Man" Gibson sits down with Doc to talk about his experience in the bush in New Zealand. Settle in and buckle up as Sam educates Doc about a number of things, including discussions of nature's wet wipe, exploding rat numbers, why deer are smarter than humans, bush tucker, Resolution Island, trail cutting, conservation efforts, leaning into his indigenous heritage, accidental cliff jumps, child rearing, Keith with No Teeth, "traditional" learning, and the appeal of being likeably nuts. An instant classic. (This is Part I. Be sure to listen to Part II.)
