Podcast: Hunting, Hard Things, and the Mindset That Gets You Through Storms
Donnie Vincent, from The Comfort Crisis, joins me on today’s episode of the Two Percent Podcast.
On Tuesday, we announced the launch of the new Two Percent podcast and dropped episode one. Here it is if you missed it.
From now on—until I’m banned by the FCC or perish in some outdoor-related catastrophe—you’ll be getting emails every Tuesday and Thursday with the new podcast.
On Tuesdays, we’ll typically have a longer interview with one fascinating person.
On Thursdays, we’ll talk about all sorts of timely and practical topics with multiple guests.
The guest for the first long interview is a big decision. Who would it be?
Truly, there was only one answer.
Today’s guest is Donnie Vincent, who I spent a month in the Arctic with while reporting The Comfort Crisis. He’s a massive part of that book, and he’s shaped my worldview and taught me so much.
Donnie and I haven’t spoken publicly, with mics on, since The Comfort Crisis. Until now.

Show notes
Donnie’s two other films, The River’s Divide and Terra Nova.
Gear Donnie loves for Alaskan hunts:
Hanwag boots (I also wore these in the Arctic—none of my toes froze off).
Maven Optics (spotting scope, rifle scope, binoculars, range finder).
Have fun, don’t die, listen to Donnie Vincent,

Your recollections of the hunt shared in Comfort Crisis reignited the long dormant "get out of my own way and do something hard" gene in me. Thanks for that.
Great discussion. Thank you for the show notes and gear links!!!
