The Altitude and Trails Podcast

Hi guys, I'm super pumped to have a fellow photographer with me on this episode! It's nice to be able to talk to someone that knows the difficulties of shooting in the wild. While we might make it look easy, it can be pretty hard sometimes! Kristian is an architect, hunter, and photographer - some of you might know him as ull_berg on Instagram. We talk a lot about his background, how that influences his photographic work, our thoughts on equipment, and also about our own evolution from the analog to digital era. I had a lot of fun talking with Kristian and I hope you guys enjoy the podcast! Look at his amazing profile here:  https://www.instagram.com/ull_berg/  00:00 - Intro 02:50 - When did Kristian start photography?  7:15 - Messaging and Social Media 10:51 - Inspiration 13:18 - Connection with architecture 17:17 - On simplicity 19:50 - Limits and Guidelines 24:24 - Instagram 27:20 - Analog vs. Digital 33:00 - Equipment 37:13 - Editing 44:14 - Cropping and composition 49:32 - More on composition and framing 54:40 - Is photography a language of its own? 59:52 - Outro Enjoy, Francesco ***** Thanks to our sponsors and partners: Beretta https://www.youtube.com/BerettaCommunity  Bowland https://www.instagram.com/bowland_hunting Steiner https://www.instagram.com/steiner_hunting Sitka Europe  https://www.instagram.com/sitkageareurope Victory Knives https://www.instagram.com/victoryknives Nature by Marsupio https://www.instagram.com/naturebymarsupio Crispi https://www.instagram.com/crispisince1975 Total Peep https://www.instagram.com/totalpeep  ***** Buy our absolutely awesome shirts: https://altitudeandtrails.com/shop ***** Connect with us:  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AltitudeandTrails Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/AltitudeandTrails Twitter: https://twitter.com/altitudetrails YouTube: https://youtube.com/AltitudeandTrails

Hi guys, today we have the privilege to hear from distinguished professor Sandro Lovari. He's someone that has been studying tahr and their behavior for a long time and in great detail. A lot of you may not know about the tahr (much like myself before university!), but this is one fascinating animal and I feel that it is important to know more about the animals that I hunt. I know the audio is a bit rough on this one, sorry guys! But the information is really worth it - I promise! I hope you guys enjoy this one - it was a real honor to have someone like Professor Lovari on our podcast. 00:00 - Intro 02:48 - Who is Sandro Lovari? 05:52 - How did you start studying tahr? 12:33 - Difficulty of studying tahr 14:06 - Harley-Davidson 15:22 - Why are tahr described as enigmatic? 18:20 - Male vs. female and age differences 26:50 - Colors 29:36 - Tahr reproductive strategy theory 34:41 - How much do we know about tahr? 40:08 - Tahr management without data driven analysis 43:57 - Ken Tustin 46:40 - Himalayan tahr in their native land 49:31 - Tahr adaptation 57:47 - Benefits of tahr in New Zealand 1:02:42 - Outro Enjoy, Francesco ***** Further reading materials: L'enigma delle pecore blu: L'altra faccia della zoologia (Animali) https://amazon.com/dp/B00HK2Y21E/ Ken Tustin - Mountain Monarchs https://huntingbooks.nz/product/new-zealands-mountain-monarchs/ https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/dehradun/italian-expert-identifies-blue-sheep-disease-says-could-hit-wildlife/articleshow/63223184.cms ***** Thanks to our sponsors and partners: Beretta https://www.youtube.com/BerettaCommunity  Bowland https://www.instagram.com/bowland_hunting Steiner https://www.instagram.com/steiner_hunting Sitka Europe  https://www.instagram.com/sitkageareurope Victory Knives https://www.instagram.com/victoryknives Nature by Marsupio https://www.instagram.com/naturebymarsupio Crispi https://www.instagram.com/crispisince1975 Total Peep https://www.instagram.com/totalpeep  ***** Buy our absolutely awesome shirts: https://altitudeandtrails.com/shop ***** Connect with us:  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AltitudeandTrails Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/AltitudeandTrails Twitter: https://twitter.com/altitudetrails YouTube: https://youtube.com/AltitudeandTrails

Quick translation: spezzatino means stew Hello everybody! Paolo Returns! In this episode, we start by talking a lil bit about zoonoses and continuing the conversation from the prior two weeks with TheSpottingVet. This week's topic is about wild boar and how to prepare it. Temperature remains an important element, whether its giving the meat more heat or freezing it entirely. Wild boar and pigs are both similar but they have their own twists. Listen to the whole episode to get a good understanding how you can get the most out of your meat! We hope you enjoy this podcast series and that it inspires you to cook something new!

*** For the US/UK crowd, 65 °C is about 149 °F *** Hello everybody! Returning from last week, we have The Spotting Vet!  https://www.instagram.com/thespottingvet/ In this episode, we get nasty (his words not mine!) and have an in-depth discussion on a variety of pathologies and the importance of using gloves. Zoonotic diseases can be extremely dangerous, perhaps even deadly. But by taking appropriate precautions it is possible to lower your risk significantly. This podcast can't cover it everything even in an hour - it took us years to learn this! Please ask us questions below and we'll try to answer them!  Please remember, although I'm a veterinarian, consult your local medical or veterinary professional for any advice about your specific issue.
