EP 652: Zach Hanson | Okayest Trapper
This week on The Rich Outdoors, Cody is joined by Zach Hanson, also known as the Okayest Human and host of the Okayest Trapper podcast. Zach shares an intense story about a split-second decision he had to make during a bear attack, where he successfully took down a charging sow black bear just feet away from him and a friend. Zach's journey is equally compelling; from climbing the corporate ladder in AI to experiencing burnout and seeking a simpler life. During COVID, he took a dramatic turn, buying a remote cabin in Idaho and becoming a trapper. In this episode, Zach reflects on finding happiness in the middle ground between his past career and his current life, along with a harrowing encounter that unfolded right outside his cabin. Tune in for an exhilarating and thought-provoking conversation about survival, transformation, and finding fulfillment.
