In this episode, Dan Berkholder talks about how and why men are to be providers. There’s a primal instinct for men to provide food, protection, and shelter for their people. A great way to harness these skills today is by sharpening them in the wilderness.

What is a sage? It's a man who is mature in wisdom, which is a skill for navigating well through a complex world. He knows how to sharpen an arrow, stalk an elk, run a small business, cultivate a strong household, and so much more.

In this episode, Eric Conn and Dan Berkholder talk about how men can become sages, and why it's important. So many of our wilderness heroes were deep, thoughtful, well-read men, something we aspire to be today.
