If you’ve ever dreamed of hunting or fishing in Alaska but haven’t made the time this episode is your sign. Ryan Uffens sits down with Hyrum Neilson, the General Manager of King Salmon Lodge, to talk about what it's really like to live the Alaskan wilderness lifestyle full-time. From blacktail deer stalks and brown bear bow hunts to raising a self-reliant family off wild game, Hyrum’s life is what most outdoorsmen talk about over campfires. He breaks down what makes Alaska special, the intensity of surviving in its untamed terrain, and why it's not just a trip it's a transformation.
Whether you're itching to chase giant rainbow trout, view grizzlies up close at Brooks Falls, or just reconnect with the primal edge of adventure, this episode challenges you to stop putting it off and go. Alaska is vast, wild, and unforgiving but as Hyrum says, “Don’t shortchange yourself. If it’s on your list, make it happen.”
