It's a bird! It's a plane! It's that goat looking guy from Narnia!
Welcome back to another episode of the Hunt Lift Eat podcast. We are ecstatic to have the man, the myth, the legend, Derick Bosley on the podcast with us this week. Derick is a seasoned Army veteran serving in the Army's 75th Ranger Battalion as a combat medic, multiple tours overseas, and somehow still has all his fingers. After the Army, Derick pursued numerous avenues of employment with his most recent being the founder of Stand To Blade where he has consistently been named "employee of the month" for over 20 months straight. At Stand To Blade, Derick makes a series of home designed and crafted knives, daggers, and axes. In addition, Derick has also dipped his toes in leather working making some cool items such as belts and wallets.

Cole grew up around the United States as an Army brat but spent most of his time in the DC metro area. Having grown up in the outdoors with camping and fishing from a young age, hunting didn’t come until recently in 2019.

Being a young hunter, Cole has spent time learning new ways to introduce game meat into his life and share it with others.

Cole is currently pursuing his master’s degree in international affairs and political science while working for a private defense contracting firm based out of the DC Metro area.
