ONE PATH THROUGH TIME: WW2, ETHIOPIAN SNIPE & A DRUNKEN WOODPECKER | Outdoorsman | Alex ter Weele

Alexander ter Weele is a Dutch-American outdoorsman, author, poet, & uncle to me, your podcast host. Born in Holland & having traveled to over 100 countries, the theme of this episode seems to be communication between vastly differing cultures: from hunting snipe with an Ethiopian village to sharing a meal with a Greek shepherd, all culminating in a harrowing childhood encounter at a Nazi checkpoint. In the second half of the podcast Alex shares two stories about the natural world, one about leaving no trace in the Allagash wilderness; the second about inebriated critters around the farm. We culminate in reflections about life, death, humanity, optimism, & listening to the stories of our elders.
