Eyad Yehyawi - Come along on an unforgettable bowhunting journey through North America and Africa. Eyad is an outdoor writer, naturalist and the author of the award-winning book Crimson Arrows: A Bowhunting Odyssey. His journey will inspire you to chase your dreams—no matter the obstacles.
Anna Buckardt Thomas - Anna shares stories from her work as an avian ecologist studying birds across the United States. From trekking through Hawaiian forests, getting stuck in the mud while capturing swans, or putting radio tags on Wood Thrush in mosquito-infested forests, there is never a dull day in the field when you are a bird biologist.
Piper Wall and Dave Hillman - Let's Have Fun on the Ocoee River! The Ocoee River in Tennessee is divided into the Upper and Middle whitewater sections and is a major whitewater paddling hotbed that sees over 250,000 rafters, kayakers, and canoers annually. The Upper Ocoee was the venue for the 1996 Olympic whitewater slalom events and has many named class 3/4 individual rapids both before and after the challenging Olympic portion.
