4.02 - Origins: Val - The Human Cost

In the 1960s, 8-year-old Valerie Miller was pulled out of school and brought to live with her father, Tom Miller, an anti-government ex-soldier and survivalist who lived off the grid. Wanting Valerie to be able to fend for herself, he began teaching her survival skills and brought in his friend, Rick, to instruct her in hand-to-hand combat. What new skills and alternative philosophies will Valerie learn as she turns 9 years old? Featuring our Storyteller Ryan LaPlante (@theryanlaplante) alongside Tyler Hewitt (@Tyler_Hewitt), Del Borovic (@deltastic) and Laura Hamstra (@lauraehamstra).
