Love this one as usual. It describes where I live in Alaska to a T, but I also lived in the heart of Denver for most of life so I understand both worlds too. Travelled overseas and have eaten many of the things on both lists lol. My father and son are both hunters and they respect the wildlife, only hunt with care, and use everything that is possible to use and 99% of the hunters I know do the same especially here where food is sometimes scarce. There are always exceptions to the rule but I can tell you the hunters I know don't like the ones who take exception and are very vocal about it. I love the community rural living provides. It's much different than cities today. Although where I grew up in Denver, we knew everyone on the block, took them presents and cards at Christmas, had them over. It was quite an adjustment for me when I first moved away and realized most city people don't know their neighbors name. When you come for your one on one retreat in Alaska (hint hint) we will take you to meet the local reindeer. We've learned so many fascinating facts about Reindeer having them just down the road. This month we had hot chocolate and tea by the fireside with the reindeer wandering around visiting. It was a blast.
