It is early June and my Son, Garreth and I are on Vancouver Island with friends Chef Jade Berg and Blayne Prowse. We were camped on the edge of a beautiful lake in the high country on the interior of the island. The weather was spotty, and it was definitely a weird situation as far as bears were concerned. We were there to bowhunt bears, but the episode quickly evolves into a hunt for primitive bow and arrow-making supplies. This will be the first of two episodes in this Van Isle series. The second episode will focus exclusively on Blayne and me harvesting wood for bows and arrows.
