The Hunter's Journey: Learn to Hunt with Skill, Respect & Heart
Whether you are exploring becoming a new hunter, you're ready to take the leap and start your hunting journey of your own, or you're a beginner hunter working towards your first harvests, hunting can be daunting.
Where do you start? What gear and knowledge do you need? What do you do when your strategy is not working? And, most importantly, how do you hunt ethically and sustainably?
An ancient and essential part of The Hunter’s Journey is having a mentor.

Did you know that artificial light can cause negative health outcomes?
That’s because unnatural lights, particularly those from our screens, are high in blue light.
Blue light from the sun sets our circadian rhythm, but today’s artificial lights are blue-light dominant, and that artificial blue light is throwing our bodies into chaos.
Eye strain is an obvious symptom of screen time, but so are headaches, fatigue, hormone disruption, metabolic damage, weight gain, and maybe worst of all… sleep disruption — and with it a whole host of other health issues.
Ra Optics produces the finest blue light blocking glasses. These scientifically-engineered lenses filter out unnatural blue light and protect you from the harmful effects of screen time and artificial lighting. They’re the only blue-blocking glasses on the market that use melanin to tint the lenses, the same pigment in your eyes and skin, which gives unparalleled color perception. These lenses are combined with stylish, exquisitely produced frames for a perfect solution to modern blue light problems.
