Think twice before trying bear jerky. Freezing doesn't kill parasites. Cook it thoroughly to at least 160°F to stay safe. Better safe than sorry.

Ever heard of botflies? Nature is wild. These larvae live under the skin like a zit, but some cultures actually consider them a rare delicacy.

Ticks, tapeworms, and trichinosis—oh my! In this episode of Wilderness Wavelength , we dive deep into the microscopic and often misunderstood world of parasites.

Joining us this week is professional ecologist Alex Caouette to break down how these hitchhikers operate, how humans accidentally contract them, and the best ways to protect yourself when exploring the great outdoors. We also shift our lens to wildlife, discussing the fascinating and sometimes devastating impact parasites have on the iconic animals of the Northern Rockies.

In this episode, Alex recounts some of his climbing adventures from over the summer and a couple harrowing experiences.

Then we dig into the world of parasites and cover:

The Usual Suspects: A look into the lifecycles of ticks, tapeworms, roundworms, and more.

Contracting & Prevention: Practical safety tips to avoid trichinosis and other parasitic infections while hunting, foraging, or hiking.

Wildlife Impacts: How local Northern Rockies species fight off (or succumb to) these hidden threats.

Whether you are an avid hunter, a backcountry hiker, or just curious about nature's stranger side, this episode is packed with essential wilderness knowledge you won't want to miss.

When to stop twisting the tourniquet? Not when they say 'ouch,' but when the bleeding stops. It's for arms and legs; other methods are needed for injuries past that point.

🍂October grouse around Hinton is the best hunting of the year. 🍂

3 things that actually matter:

1️⃣ First light, gravel shoulders.
Grouse come down to grit on road edges before the sun clears the trees. Drive slow, glass the ditches.

2️⃣ Walk the edges, not the middle.
Old cutblocks and burn regrowth with mixed aspen edge hold birds. Deep timber usually doesn't.

3️⃣ October is the window.
Leaves are off so you can spot them, snow hasn't flattened the cover yet. By November they're educated.

We broke down our backroad grouse runs and rabbit hunting in full on Ep 134 of Wilderness Wavelength — link in bio. 🎧
