62- Western Ghillie: Modern Hunting and Building Bonds in your Community

In this episode of the MCS Podcast, Pat and Taylor's new neighbour hops on the mic and tells it like it is. Lee (Western Ghillie) is a Scotsman who moved to Canada in the 2010s and recently moved from Vancouver to the Southern Interior of B.C.  Lee shares a dramatic experience of navigating treacherous conditions in the floods of 2021, where he faced roads washing out under their truck and spent a night in the cold with a seven-month-old baby. Lee recounts the incredible sense of community and mutual aid they found in Hope, BC, highlighting the positive aspects of humanity in crisis.

The conversation transitions to discussing the importance of community and knowing your neighbors, comparing the close-knit feeling of smaller towns to the often distant relationships in larger cities like Vancouver. They share personal anecdotes about getting to know their neighbors and discovering shared interests, such as shooting.

Lee emphasizes the value of building a community, being helpful, and not isolating oneself in preparation for hypothetical crises. He encourages listeners to develop their skills and use them to contribute positively to their community. He also extends an invitation to those in the Kamloops area interested in hunting, offering to help them get started.
