Episode Description

Returning guest Jeff Braaksma joins us for his 3rd appearance- and this time with a hunting story that took a serious and unexpected turn. What started as a triumphant bow hunt on public land in Wisconsin, became a fight for his health. The day after his successful hunt, his body began telling him something was seriously wrong. With red streaks running up his arms, extreme fatigue, and confusion setting in, Jeff was rushed to the hospital where he was diagnosed with Sepsis, a life-threatening condition caused by a bacterial infection. Whether you’re a hunter, hiker or a weekend warrior, this episode is a must listen reminder that even a successful day in nature can come with hidden risks.
