Bear Grease – Details, episodes & analysis

Brent's wrapping up his series on safety by giving more examples of how he tempted fate and luckily came through unscathed. Not everyone gets a second chance however, and Brent has a firsthand account that reminds him to stay ever vigilant. Brent's hoping you'll hear this one and take away the same lesson he did. It's safety first, always on this week's episode of MeatEater's "This Country Life" podcast.

In this Bonus Episode of the Bear Grease podcast, Retired US Forest Service Agent, Russ Arthur, tells host Clay Newcomb one more unforgettable story of one of his first undercover jobs infiltrating a wild group of outlaws stealing Atlantic White Cedar along the Apalachicola River in Florida. Russ uses his construction background to assimilate into their group and gain their trust, but little do they know that the trap is being set for an arrest story worth making a motion picture about.

Brents got stories about kids scattered all over the woods coon hunting without lights, and another one about taking his son to the doctor caused by a wasp sting that would make a grown man cry. There’s lots of good stuff in this one including a school program that kids of every grade can take advantage of and Brent will tell you what it is and how to get it.
