What happens when a life spent in the wild takes a dramatic turn into the heart of one of the most controversial events in American history? In this episode of The Wild Chaos Podcast, we sit down with Patrick Montgomery—an experienced hunting guide whose path led from tracking game in Alaska and Colorado to standing inside the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021. Raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Patrick grew up with a passion for the outdoors, following in his father’s footsteps as an avid hunter. By the time he was in high school, he was already guiding in the unforgiving landscapes of Alaska. But nothing could have prepared him for what came next. His participation in the January 6th events resulted in a federal conviction and a 37-month prison sentence—one that took a shocking turn when he was pardoned by President Trump and released the very same day. Patrick opens up about what really happened that day, the legal battles that followed, and the impact it had on his life and family. He shares raw, unfiltered insights into the prison system, house arrest, and what it’s like to go from an average American to a national headline. This episode isn’t about politics—it’s about one man’s personal journey through chaos, consequences, and ultimately, redemption. No matter where you stand on the events of that day, Patrick’s story is a gripping account of risk, resilience, and how quickly life can change in an instant. Tune in for an unforgettable conversation. — (https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2316978/open_sms) Support the show (https://www.buzzsprout.com/2316978/support) Follow Wild Chaos on Social Media: Apple iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-wild-chaos-podcast/id1732761860 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5KFGZ6uABb1sQlfkE2TIoc?si=8ff748aa4fc64331 ⁠⁠⁠Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wildchaospodcast (https://www.instagram.com/wildchaospodcast?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==) Bam's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bambam0069 Youtube: https://youtube.com/@wildchaospod (https://www.youtube.com/@wildchaospod) TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@wildchaosshow (https://www.tiktok.com/@thewildchaosshow?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc) Meta (Facebook): ⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/TheWildChaosPodcast
