, e m o c l e W The Adventure Outdoors team and David-Jacobs Publishing Group are ecstatic about presenting to you this issue of Ad- venture Outdoors Magazine . In this summer edition, you will find information on how to stay safe from wild animal en- counters, where to go to reignite the excitement of American history, how to show a military service member that you care, and so much more. We would like to give a huge thank you to Josh Gates for his participation in this issue. Josh is an avid explorer, adven- turist, author, and host of Travel Channel’s hit series, Expedi- tion Unknown . Every episode of Expedition Unknown leads the audience into an unscripted excursion, where Josh and his team hunt down the answers to everything, from the Yeti to the Ark of the Covenant. Josh provided us with an exclu- sive interview, in which he tells amazing stories about his travel experiences, and shares top travel tips for those of us who are looking to embark on an expedition of our own. Thank you, Josh! A big thank you also goes out to Amanda Lynn Mayhew, for her contribution and special feature, which tells the coura- geous story of her life and how she became the face of women in hunting. As a working mother dealing with life’s grueling challenges, Amanda shares her memories, her struggles, and ultimately her triumphs, which give us all in- spiration! Thank you, Amanda!
