How To Master Wild Skills with Man Eats Wild!
About this episode
In this episode, Mario Kalpou from Man Eats Wild brings you into the world of primal living and real food.
Joe De Sena and Mario dive deep into why modern life has made us lose touch with what really matters, like knowing where our food comes from and learning the skills to survive in the wild. They share stories of hunting, foraging, and reconnecting with nature to fuel the body with real, nutrient-dense food.
From alligator hunting in Florida to sourcing food without relying on grocery stores, they show how ancestral living can build strength and resilience. If you're curious about the power of going back to basics and challenging the comforts of the modern world, tune in now!
