The Origins Foundation Podcast

In today’s society, we need all the voices we can get to champion hunting and the sustainable use of wildlife. There is no greater mechanism to do that than influencers, especially those who have used the sustainable use of wildlife for survival. Australian influencer Karla Pound became well known for her escapades on the show Alone. She joined Robbie from the floor of the Wild Deer Expo in Victoria, Australia, back in October. Robbie went into the interview cold, knowing nothing about Karla, and peels back the layers of the onion to get to the bottom of her life as a survivalist, hunter, and more.

There are legends in the Hunter conservationist world, and we are fortunate to be able to meet a few of them. Pud Howard is one of these individuals. Pud (a nickname given to him as a young boy) of Sale, Victoria in Australia grew up in the duck hunting scene and has dedicated his life to ducks, duck hunting, and conservation of ducks in Australia. Pud recounts heart and soul efforts to purchase and restore a block of land from nothing but a desert to a thriving wetland ecosystem that holds waterfowl and takes Robbie on an in-person tour of the property, exploring the Heart Morass and talking about what it means. This is a heartfelt podcast straight from the heart of an individual that has never done a podcast before, and lives everyday on how he can better wetlands for ducks  Do you have questions we can answer?
