In this episode of Outdoor Adventures with Jayson, I catch up with J. Alain Smith of Rugged Expeditions (http://ruggedexpeditions.com). If you have not watch Alain’s show that aired on The Sportsman’s Channel for 5 seasons, you are in luck. Rugged Expedition has moved to YouTube and you can catch his current and many past shows on YouTube here (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrqBtLetmpz0E3CtgzMnsYA).

Alain provides lots of great information on hunting overseas and how his show came about. Alain also provides a variety of good hunting tips on his website here (http://ruggedexpeditions.com/hunting-tips/). On top of this, Alain is a prolific writer of books on his hunting adventures and he has a series of fiction books as well. You can see them here (http://ruggedexpeditions.com/product-category/hunting-books/). All proceeds from these books go to a number of charities including Safari Club International(https://www.safariclub.org) , OVIS (http://www.wildsheep.org), and the SCI Foundation(http://safariclubfoundation.org). You can see more about it here(http://ruggedexpeditions.com/about/).
