Episode 16 Featuring John Barklow---Senior Product Manager at Sitka Gear and Survival Expert
John Barklow trains the military to stay alive in adverse conditions. Decades of work in wilderness survival gives John the unique perspective of someone who can say, "been there, done that". In this episode of Fin and Fire with Jeff Mishler we share wilderness experiences and discuss the psychology of preparedness. Just because you have the gear doesn't necessarily mean you know how or when to use it. If you spend time outdoors, this podcast is a must.
About Jeff Mishler
Jeff Mishler is a fifth generation Oregonian who's life work is hard to quantify. Father, writer, photographer, television commercial director, environmentalist, video producer/distributor, website manager, hunter, angler and lifelong recreationist who lives a fly-by-the-seat-of-yourpants mantra. If he’s not in his office writing another essay or developing a show concept, he’s chasing mallards and pheasants with his lab Hailey, running his jet sled up a local river to a sweet steelhead run, setting up on a screaming bull elk with bow in hand or conspiring with his small circle of equally affected steelhead bums while downing healthy portions of really good Oregon beer.

Episode 31 Featuring Mark Holyoak---Communication Director, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation
Episode 31 | For the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, protecting everything related to healthy elk populations involves so much more than focusing on just the regal bull elk. In this episode of Fin And Fire With Jeff Mishler, I chat with Mark Holyoak, Communication Director for the RMEF at their headquarters in Missoula, Montana about the successes of the organization and why it is so effective at maintaining a huge membership. I also ask questions related to a previous podcast with ODFW about controlled hunts and where the RMEF finds common ground with government agencies.
Episode 30 Featuring Kevin Sloan---CEO and Founder of Skwala Fishing
Episode 30 | Launching a top-of-the-line fly fishing apparel brand into a market known for quality products is the kind of challenge Kevin Sloan has faced for decades. As a founder of the brands Sitka and MeatEater, Kevin has unique insights and experiences from his successful past and presents a vision for his new venture, Skwala Fishing. In this episode of Fin and Fire With Jeff Mishler I sit with Kevin in Bozeman Montana and go deep into the design and branding of a quality product.
Episode 29 Featuring Spencer Sawaske---Outdoorsman and Hydrologist/Instream Scientist with Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife
Episode 29 | In this episode of Fin and Fire with Jeff Mishler I dive into the challenges of water management in the State of Oregon and discover that it boils down to the relationships between the landowners and the state agencies. In Oregon, Spencer works at the epicenter of these relationships. He's also a prolific hunter/angler and we trade stories about our pursuits of the elusive Blacktail bucks of western Oregon.
