Tune in to Escape to the Wild on Versus Country to watch hunt

TODD CRAWFORD, A member of Local 154 (Pittsburgh), has won a trip from Escape to the Wild, a TV show that surprises “hardworking” union members with the hunting or fishing trip of a lifetime while providing a glimpse into their lives at home, at work, and in the field.

Escape to the Wild is a union-sponsored program that evolved from a relationship between the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership and a number of AFL-CIO affiliated trade unions that recognized a majority of their members hunt, fish, and enjoy the outdoors.

Crawford applied for the trip by submitting an application video that included a segment in which he dressed in a ghillie suit (camouflage clothing designed to resemble heavy underbrush) near the forest’s edge and scared the daylights out of his neighbor.

Crawford’s trip will be televised Jan. 25 at 7 p.m. (EST). For specific program information, check your local listings or go to versus.com.
