We met John on some family land near Two Harbors, MN. He had been visiting the land since he was 7, and quite literally learned all his outdoor skills there. Please take a listen. It’s a beautiful story about how land and tradition can bring people together, about dedication and love for the earth.
I actually read this one years ago and needed to revisit it. His connection to this land reminds me so much of the Vermonters I know. We have places that we revisit and respect in the woods. They are like old friends and you care for them. What an amazing experience to find him there. ..Strange as it was but the knowledge was so deep. He was like a living diary.
I had to listen to Johns story again. This was my first and I needed to revisit it. It reminds me of so many people here in Vermont who have the deep connections to the land as if visiting an old friend. John expresses his sense of love so clearly. What a treasure to find him.

Love this one. It is such a fun cross section of two worlds.
