Episode 88: Outdoor Dads

Father's Day provided the perfect excuse to catch up with Seth Morris and talk about the role the outdoors plays in fatherhood. Seth joins Mike and Mark for a wide-ranging conversation covering life in Montana, his connection to MeatEater, becoming a new father, and raising his son Virgil in a world filled with fishing rods, hunting stories, and outdoor adventures.

The conversation bounces from a scorching June oryx hunt shared by Mike and Seth to discussions about woodsmanship, learning to pay attention to the little details outdoors, and the lessons that hunting and fishing can teach. Seth shares stories about introducing a young child to the outdoors, while Mike reflects on the traditions and opportunities his own father provided growing up.

The episode wraps with a deeper discussion about what fathers really pass on to their children. While hunting is the backdrop for much of the conversation, the focus is ultimately on connection, community, and creating meaningful relationships. Whether those bonds are formed through hunting, music, sports, art, or something else entirely, the goal is the same: finding a way to connect with the people who matter most.

Guests: Seth Morris, Mike Ruhl, and Mark Ruhl
