Episode 61: Hell On Ice

Episode 61, “Hell on Ice,” dives into the now-viral story of the spray-painted “PET” deer that wandered past Mike and Mark’s blind and brought a wave of new listeners to the show. From there, the episode becomes a fast-paced anthology of family winter wipeouts—most of them involving the Ruhl family’s 60-year-old toboggan—and includes broken noses, busted wrists, legendary bruises, and Kate’s unforgettable tailbone-shattering ice-fishing trip. Through every crash and calamity, the heart of the episode is pure Outdoor Ruhls: family, humor, and the memories that outlast the pain.
