Fantastic podcast

I’ve been a fanboy of Paul for a while now having been on his in-person courses, online and both his podcasts. He has an unending passion for outdoor education, if you are into bushcraft then this show is a must.

This is a great podcast- brilliant format. I would recommend it to anyone who is at all interested in bushcraft, outdoor living or nature. I have listened to the whole series twice. Thanks for sharing this great content Paul.

What a fantastic resource

I’m just getting back to spending more time outdoors, looking to take my young lad out and teach him some basic skills and hopefully inspire his love and understanding of the outdoors. Thank you for all your efforts. This is a great Free! Resource
