Episode 367 - Interview with Jason the Butcher

Author: Austin Diehl April 22, 2026 Duration: 1:28:18

Many of us have grown up hunting. Some of us have learned it in pursuit of greater preparedness. Still, how to butcher and harvest eludes so many that it's its own industry in many parts of our country, during hunting seasons. I sit down with Jason Nauert, or "Jason the Butcher" as many of you may know him, to talk about his work with the military for combat sustainability, teaching butchering skills, and obviously, the importance of this all in the greater conversation of self sustainability. We get into the long-term effects of a M.R.E. heavy diet, we talk about understanding animal anatomy, water purification, and more. If you're a casual prepper, and avid hunter, or someone planning for the darker days ahead, this conversation is one that will give you a fantastic perspective into harvesting your own meat, for you, and potentially, your family.
