Today Doug opens the container with journalist Rachelle Schrute.

Doug starts the episode by recounting his personal journey and experiences in Montana, a state rich in both natural beauty and a communal spirit. A place that for Doug was not only about the incredible landscape but also the warmth and generosity of the locals who helped him when he was just getting his life started.

Doug is then joined by conservationist, hunter, angler, and Montanan, Rachelle Schrute.

Rachelle and Doug discuss the imperative of conservation, with Rachelle articulating her perspective as both a hunter and conservationist. She emphasizes the need for a collective commitment to protect public lands, advocating for unity among individuals with differing political beliefs.
