Here we are. 5 and a half months after pulling the trigger, I’m ready to talk about my Sitka Waders. Next to my chairs (you’re welcome, Millenium Marine), my waders are the most asked about thing on a daily basis . . . “How do you like those Sitka waders?” This is, in some respects, a little bit of a crazy question. I equate it to how you feel after getting your oil changed – in your imagination, you think the car is running smoother and handling better. But it’s really exactly the same, which is awesome, but also it cost you some dollar amount to stay exactly the same…

#155: Public Trust
Listen on Spotify * Apple Podcasts * iHeartRadio * Pandora * Amazon Podcasts Public Trust Doctrine.

We’re not experts, but this was such a big deal we wanted to make sure to keep it at the forefront of our platform. Plus, we talk deer hunting, duck scouting, new t-shirts drop, Charcuterie Chalets, My Cousin Vinny, hanging chads…
