In this week’s Gimme the Mic episode, host Jordan Rash brings on his friend Eli Asher to discuss their experiences getting kids outdoors. If you’re interested in spending more time outside with your kids, tune in to gain some perspectives from Jordan and Eli – both of whom are fathers who take their kids hunting, fishing, shellfish-gathering, camping, and hiking – and maybe learn both what to do as well as what NOT to do!
Topics covered: exposure or lack of to the outdoors as kids; creating meaningful and fun experiences for your kids; what “getting outdoors” means; easy opportunities to introduce kids into wild game; wild game cooking for kids; being a mentor to those who need someone to show them the ropes.

Hunter, Angler, Gardener, Cook – Smoked Black cod/sablefish <– Eli said he does have a favorite wild game, and it is black cod or sablefish! You can find some background on this Pacific fish species here, and many more recipes in Hank Shaw’s book “Hook, Line, and Supper.”
Jordan’s book recommendation: “Outdoor Kids in an Inside World” by Steven Rinella has some great anecdotes about parenting outdoors, as well as some great insights about patience, managing expectations, and building experiences for kids focused on them rather than the parent/adult. Check it out!
