Living the Outdoors with Marc Drewek: 1/14/26

January 15, 2026·50 min·4 clips

Jim Crowley reveals the All Canada Show features over 80 Canadian lodges and outfitters, with no gutter salesmen or Ginsu knives.

Mark opens with a welcome back. He has been away for the holidays, and the show has that easy start-of-the-year feel, with outdoor show season close by. The conversation stays practical. Mark does not treat outdoor media as all noise. He says there is bad information out there, but social media can still do useful work when it helps people learn, share, and get outside. Jim Crowley meets that tone without puffing himself up. He says he has never claimed to be the best at anything, only blessed to have experienced a lot. That line gives the segment its center. This is less about promotion and more about the old outdoor habit of passing knowledge along before it gets lost. Jim treats that as a responsibility. If people who have lived the outdoor life share what they know, the sport has a better shot at growing. The All Canada Show comes up, with Jim pointing listeners to the event starting Thursday, January 22nd, and running through Sunday, January 25th. Even the plug feels like part of the same conversation: meet people, trade stories, keep the traditions moving through real contact. Brian Brosdahl and Jim Crowley get thanked near the close. By the end, Mark brings it back to the listener: when the outdoors gives you a chance to affect somebody's life, take it. The excerpt starts with a host returning from break and lands on a simple point. Outdoor life is worth handing on.
