Description
On this episode of the Peter Panda Podcast, we’re deep in the western Alaska Range with Registered Hunting Guide, Rob Jones. Rob tells us some riveting stories from his colorful careers starting as a private pilot at a young age, to his adventurous years as an Alaskan smoke jumper, to ultimately becoming a prolific commercial fisherman and hunting guide of over 30-years. Today Rob operates his hunting operation, RnR Hunting, from his Big River Lodge, the same place we recorded this here episode. You’re about to hear a diverse string of tales including some from the early years building the lodge, when rob and his crew deconstructed, fly out, and later reassembled, on-site, an actual bulldozer, to his painful story of his worst case of frostbite ever that almost claimed both his feet. And even the haunting recollection of recovering the victims of a plane wreck out in the wrangles. Rob Jones, Indiana Jones, what’s the difference! This man has seen, and survived all of it. So listen up! You’re about to hear from one of the most interesting and experienced humans I’ve ever met, Mr. Rob Jones.
