In this episode of the Jack Mountain Bushcraft Podcast Tim talks about practical wilderness survival based on what you need to know, what you need to do, and what you need to carry in order to make it through a survival episode. Length: 54:41
Episode 2 of our podcast is about the philosophy behind our new Journeyman program and why an assessment and accountability system is important to ensure someone knows what they’re doing.
The inaugural episode of the new Jack Mountain Bushcraft Podcast. I talk about how bushcraft is changing from a community to an industry in North America. Is it a good thing?
I’m adding a new section to our resource page of articles and downloads; podcasts. I’m regularly sharing podcasts on learning, the natural world, ecology, and more with our students, and now I’ll be sharing them with anyone who is interested. This is not the Jack Mountain Bushcraft Podcast. We’re not responsible for recording or anything else other than listening. Find it at: http://www.jackmtn.com/articles.html#podcasts.
The first two I’ve got listed are interviews with Paul Stamets, author of Mycelium Running, on how mushrooms can save the world, and with Dr. John Ratey on the relationship between exercise, the brain and learning. It’s highbrow stuff.
Paul Sveum wrote and recorded this song a few years ago. It’s our unoffical theme song, and we’ve used it in a bunch of our videos. In addition to being a talented musician and good friend, Paul is a first-class bushcraft instructor who has spent several years working with the students at Northland College in Wisconsin.
Our new podcast is coming together, and the first episode is live on the web. There is a bit of work left to do getting everything set up and integrated, but while we’re working on that you can check it out at:
