Customer Reviews
Still relevant and spot on knowledge
Despite this being recorded years ago now the info on this is still excellent. Incredibly succinct, solid information from one of the best in the business, cannot rate high enough.
Great outdoor advice and chats.
Paul's podcasts both the long and short form are fantastic listens to anyone who enjoys the outdoors, camping and bushcraft skills. Paul does not focus on the kit or gadgets but more on the skills and ways of enjoying the outdoors.
Paul offers so much useful advice that one would typically have to pay for but Paul is sharing his knowledge for the shake of sharing.
Paul love both podcasts and rate your podcasts as the best in camping , out doors and bush craft.
Cheers. Kim. (Australia)
