Nah, we cover it all in this awesome episode with @foragecolorado ; content creation, his natural resources degree and occupation, and of course all of his favorite foraging stories!! Orion is the best- but if you are in the online foraging community already you probably already knew that!

    WEWP#67: Colter Barnes (ALONE season 8)

    WEWP#67: Colter Barnes (ALONE season 8)

    We have an episode from the WEWP VAULT today- here's a previously unreleased phone call we had with the dynamite Colter Barnes from History's ALONE season 8! We talk a lot about his foraging during the show, the adversity he faced, as well as his lifestyle and plans in Alaska!! This is such a good episode and went on the shelf for a while due to the less-than-desireable audio quality. However, listening back through this Colter has amazing insight, and hindsight, on nature and his time on the super popular survival show and this will prove to be another valuable episode of our show. Thanks to everybody for listening and extra thanks to @colterwambachbarnes for chatting with us, sorry it took forever to release! super triple thanks to @keweenaw_apothecary for being a sponsor of the show and for making this connection!!

Funny, digestible, perfectly upbeat to keep you engaged

Not only is this podcast super informative and helpful but it’s engaging. The passion for foraging and outdoors in general is top tier. I’m always listening as soon as I can and following whoever pops up on the show 🤣

Wildly Fun

I love listening to this weekly podcast with Michael and Steve! Great knowledge of wild edibles and mushrooms… like what they look, where to find them, and what they could taste like too. Perfect length, wonderful hosts, and tons of knowledge! Your new favorite podcast.

Love ❤️

These guys combine my two favorite things, foraging and podcasts. They are covering the canon of North American plants. They have a systematic way of going through each of them that I really appreciate and the episode lengths are perfect. Cool kid vibes, for sure.
