Campfire Conversations by 1Campfire - Gone Batty with Dr. Cori Lausen

Gone Batty with Dr. Cori Lausen

06/22/22 • 65 min

Steve and JP sit down with Dr. Cori Lausen of the Wildlife Conservation Society of Canada.

Dr. Lausen is a bat research and conservation biologist whose program focuses largely on a science-based response to white-nose syndrome, a catastrophic disease impacting bats in North America, with 3 main tools: inventory and monitoring, disease prevention, and mitigation research.

We see the parallels in these furry mammals as we do in large game in North America. There are problems with inventory, disease and largely funding.

Did you know that bats can SEE, and some even see colour? There goes ‘blind as a bat’.

This is a fascinating listen that is not only educational, but fun.

A Family Affair with Joe and Kristen Eppele

Steve and JP welcome Joe and Kristen Eppele to this episode.

Joe and Kristen have been supporters of 1Campfire since day 1, and we finally got a chance to sit down with them to talk about why.

The conversation goes from both of their beginnings and how they got into hunting to the inevitable questions of why they hunt and why they don’t shy away from the controversy that comes along with it.

We chat about their new ‘hunting partner’ with their 6 month old son and why they feel it’s important to bring him up in the outdoors and around hunting, what it’s like to have a 6’8 300 pound pack mule, to Joes dress and shoe size.

This is a fun episode we are sure you will love.

Check out Joe on his show The Edge, and find Kristen on Instagram at Hunting Holistic Co.

The Pinky Promise with Madeline Demaske JD

Steve and JP sit down with Madeline (Madie) Demaske and have an in-depth chat about her journey from childhood to where she is now at the age of 27.

If you listened to common place labels, Madie would be the last person you would think would be a hunter. However, she smashes those stereotypes. Articulate and well-spoken, she is an Attorney specializing in international conservation law.

You will learn what changed her life at the age of 12, to what a pinky promise means in their family to what she learned during COVID.

Listen for that long pause at the end where Madie must compile her thoughts. This is not an editing error, but one we intentionally left in to show the emotion and pause she must take before articulating her response.

This is a great episode that we are sure you will love, as you hear firsthand what that connection means to her on a spiritual, emotional, and physical level.
