[NEW EPISODE] Kia Ora! Check it out folks! I love this episode! We recorded this episode in New Zealand at the foot of the Southern Alps on the last day of my first Himalayan Tahr hunt. Honestly, the hunt for NZ Tahr was EPIC! But I think the BEST part of this hunt were our kiwi friends and guides, Sam Manson (@nzhuntguide) and Shaun Roach—they talk funny... but not everybody can be an American. I like to call them Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber, respectively. We were hosted in New Zealand by our good friend and awesome human, Duncan Fraser, owner of @venatorcardronasafaris. #staygritty @casey_harbertson @dallashemeyer

Sidney Smith was born with Charcot-Marie-Tooth, a disease which causes structural foot damage and muscle wasting through the leg. Sid made the tough choice to have both his legs amputated rather than spend the rest of his life in a wheel chair. While in the hospital he decided if he ever got out of there, he was going to compete in an Ironman Triathlon. We talk about how it felt when he woke up and both his legs were gone. How life has changed since then and how he is giving back to help someone else receive a new prosthetic leg.

“CHALLENGES ARE WHAT MAKES LIFE INTERESTING
Every Day was a battle – Giving up was never an option. Born with Charcot-Marie-Tooth, a disease which causes structural foot deformities and muscle wasting throughout the leg, Sidney Smith refused to surrender. With a family to provide for and a desire to live life to its fullest, Sid made the decision to forego the risk of bone fusion in both legs and became a double amputee.”
