Experience Quote by Steven Rinella

“When I got trichinosis, I was shooting an episode of 'MeatEater' that involved taking a Navy SEAL officer on his first hunt. He wanted an intense experience, and I figured that hunting and eating bears in the western Alaska Range would suffice. In total, three crew members and I got sick.” quote by Steven Rinella
