In this episode I speak with avid hunter, fisherman, self-taught survivalist, and contestant on the History Channel’s Alone show, Ray Livingston. Ray takes us through his journey into outdoor skills and living by detailing his experiences as a kid fishing with his dad, harvesting his first Elk with a bow at 14 years old, and choosing to pursue survival skills to overcome his trepidation in wild places and transforming from feeling like a stranger in the woods, to being an integral part of them. Ray tells us how he was cast for the Alone show and how he prepared for the experience of surviving in the Arctic, alone. Ray then takes us on his journey into the Arctic to talk about his experience surviving and expanding his mind, and his love for his friends, family, and the land and creatures around him.
“I love you, unconditionally, just for being you. Just for being here, playing whatever part you’re playing in this universe. You’re just as important and needed as anything else. Every blade of grass, every insect, every grain of sand, everything that has ever existed is important and necessary, that includes you! “ -Ray Livingston
