Get ready around the 23rd-25th minute guys. Who is going to cry? I’d guess PapaSop Tex_77 and Parksider, Joe Hell lost over hundred lb, nothing is going to make him cry!

[Tex_77]

No tears here, but is a great story.

[Joe Hell]

Jonathon Actually I lost over TWO hundred lbs…but who’s counting?

[PapaSop]

Great story and Mike is absolutely right. A mentor can have a huge impact on a youth. I’ve seen it many times as an adult leader with the BSA when my boy’s were working there way through this program. I haven’t done any outdoor mentoring but this was basically the same thing. But then again I was there for my three when it came to hunting and fishing.

As Mike said it’s an amazing feeling when you get the feedback and see a youth grow, learn and mature. You know that perhaps you helped this person to succeed.
