The Legend of Mick Dodge
S01E11: The Harvest
As winter moves in, legendary wild man Mick Dodge is on an important mission to track down and harvest his main source of food for the coming months — chanterelle mushrooms, a delicacy that appears in the Pacific Northwest only once each year.

Experience the wild life of Mick Dodge, a quirky character whose unique brand of Zen comes from living by his own code – off the land and off the grid.
