Mike Catherwood and Bryan Callen also discuss why real-world experience beats theory, the realities of building a farm from scratch, dangerous animal encounters around the world, survival instincts, the appeal of rural living, and why some of nature's deadliest creatures deserve far more respect than most people realize.
