Description

This week's story is close to home for us: We discuss the "Free Town" (now known better as the "Free State") Project, which consisted of a mass of libertarians moving to Grafton, New Hampshire, to liberate the town. What the residents of Grafton (both new and old) didn't expect was the explosion of conflicts that ensued with resident black bears, including a handful of bear attacks.A majority of the source material for this episode came from the book A Libertarian Walks Into a Bear: The Utopian Plot to Liberate an American Town (And Some Bears) by Matthew Hongoltz-Hetling.Support the showSupport the show by shopping at www.getoutalivepodcast.com/shopFollow us on Instagram, Facebook, Tiktok, check out our website GetOutAlivePodcast.com and join us on Patreon (where you can now follow us for free)!You can find Ashley @TheAngryOlogist on Twitter

Join wildlife biologist and host Ashley Bray and her best friend/co-host Nick every other week as they explore the causes of different animal attack stories throughout the ages.In her career, Ashley has noticed the growing need for honest conversations around human-wildlife conflict, and decided to make this podcast with her best friend to get at the truth of how dangerous the animals we live alongside really are, and what we can do to not only protect ourselves from these animals, but save the animals from being hurt by us too. They are occasionally joined by expert biologists and attack survivors to get more insight into why an attack happened, how it could have been avoided (if possible), and the problems certain species are facing that could drive conflicts.
