Learn from his experience!

Save yourself the trouble of learning many outdoor/bushcraft skills the hard way—meaning by getting it wrong and suffering. Paul’s got decades worth of knowledge and experience that helps you make proper decisions so that when you decide to try something for the first time you’re aware of WHY it is done a certain way, and that puts you closer to success and to an enjoyable time in the natural world.

Amazing show

This is one of the most informative shows out there when it comes to dispensing knowledge about woodcraft, camping, and bushcraft. Please keep it up Paul! Thanks a lot.

Great information and Q&A format

Not only does Paul share a great deal of outdoor information, but he does it in a Q&A format, which enables the listener to send in questions. This keeps the information topical, but also varied. Thanks, Paul!
