Podcasts about Bushcraft

Steffi ist im echten Leben Polizistin. Viel lieber aber ist sie Bushcrafterin: Selbst Feuer machen, im Schnee und ohne Zelt übernachten, das ist ihr Ding. Für Hannah Assil ist Bushcrafting und Survival ihr Leben geworden. Sie hat 2023 die dritte Staffel des Survival-Formats "7 vs. Wild" gewonnen und finanziert mittlerweile ihr Leben über Natur-Content. Auf Youtube wirkt die Bushcraft- und Survival-Szene sehr männerdominiert und teilweise militärisch. Doch ist das wirklich so? Y-Kollektiv-Reporterin Helena Brinkmann hat für diese Folge im Schnee gezeltet und war mit Survival-Expertin Hannah in Wien unterwegs, um die seltene Waldohr-Eule zu finden. Sie wollte wissen: Wie ist die Szene für Frauen? Und was treibt sie an? Kaff Crimes – Absurde Verbrechen aus der Provinz: https://1.ard.de/kaff-crimes "Y-Kollektiv – Der Podcast" wird verantwortet von Radio Bremen und dem rbb in Zusammenarbeit mit dem SR.

Was unterscheidet militärisches Survival eigentlich vom zivilen Survival? In dieser BuschTALK-Folge sprechen wir über Prioritäten und die Realität hinter beiden Bereichen. Während es beim militärischen Survival oft um Auftrag, Tarnung und Durchhaltefähigkeit geht, stehen im zivilen Survival Sicherheit, Selbstversorgung und Anpassung im Vordergrund

Send us your Mediocre 5 Star ReviewThis week Tim and Ade unpack their wild weekend running The Barter Barn at The Bushcraft Show — a stall that somehow became the busiest spot on site and raised a small fortune for charity in the process. Think constant crowds, premium gear flying in and out, and trades so bizarre they'll live forever in podcast lore (yes, including the wedding dress).From a kid swapping foraged mint for a water bladder, to Damascus knives, Dutch ovens, elf costumes, and a dedicated knife table that appeared out of necessity, the lads relive the beautiful madness of running a no‑cash trading post in 35‑degree heat.They also talk about being roped onto the main stage to run a charity auction — unprepared, slightly terrified, and absolutely smashing it with over £4,000 raised. Add in community moments, old friends, new faces, Scouts everywhere, and Ade completing all three fire‑making methods like some sort of bushcraft wizard, and you've got a packed episode.It's warm, funny, chaotic, and full of the joy that makes the bushcraft community what it is.DISCLAIMER: Casual Camping Podcast accepts no liability and does not officially recommend any products or endorse any techniques discussed in an individual podcast episode or shown on Casual Camping Podcast social media accounts.

Was hat eine einfache Orange mit echtem Überleben zu tun? Vielleicht mehr, als du denkst. In dieser Folge starten wir genau dort – bei etwas Alltäglichem – und lassen das Gespräch bewusst treiben: von spontanen Einfällen über Improvisation bis hin zu den entscheidenden Fähigkeiten, die dich in unsicheren Situationen wirklich weiterbringen. Eine Folge ohne festes Skript, aber mit jeder Menge Erkenntnissen darüber, wie du in jeder Lage handlungsfähig bleibst.

Der Wald wirkt ruhig und beständig, doch Wetterextreme verändern ihn spürbar. In dieser Folge sprechen wir darüber, wie Sturm, Hitze und Starkregen die Natur beeinflussen und welche Gefahren dadurch entstehen. Du erfährst, worauf du achten musst, wenn du draußen unterwegs bist, und wie du dich besser auf unvorhersehbare Bedingungen vorbereitest. Praxisnah und direkt aus der Erfahrung.Für alle, die den Wald nicht nur genießen, sondern verstehen wollen.

In this episode of my podcast, I speak with Jon McArthur, a Canadian bushcraft instructor and search and rescue practitioner with over two decades of experience in both military and civilian contexts. John shares his journey into bushcraft, including his time learning directly from Mors Kochanski and the influence of Tom Roycraft's teachings. We discuss key lessons from search and rescue, including lost person behaviour, as well as cold weather survival, pack frame design, and the role of storytelling and First Nations perspectives in teaching and understanding skills of the northern forest.

One mistake can end a survival challenge. One accident can erase weeks of memory. One loss can change the shape of a whole family. We're joined by Joe Robinet, a Canadian bushcraft and camping creator who helped define outdoor YouTube long before it was a career path, and he brings a rare mix of hard-earned skills and hard-earned perspective.We talk through Joe's early life in Windsor, Ontario, chasing wilderness without a mentor, and the way online forums and a trusted teacher helped him become a legit outdoorsman. From there, Joe breaks down what actually built his channel: switching from “how-to” clips to story-driven canoe trips and tarp camps, staying honest on camera, and learning the unglamorous realities of the algorithm, thumbnails, titles, and audience feedback.Then we dig into Alone Season 1, including the tryouts, the pressure to film for airtime, and what it's like to get dropped in a cedar swamp with tides, soaked wood, and no sunlight. Losing his fire steel on day two ends the run, but it also lights a fire that pushes him to outwork the setback and redefine what success looks like.The second half gets even deeper: bear safety and food storage, why hypothermia is a bigger threat than most people admit, and the story behind his CBC documentary Nerve, including a dirt bike crash, traumatic brain injury, and three weeks in an induced coma with vivid “memories” that never happened. Woven through it all is grief for his brother Isaac, and the lesson Joe wants to leave behind: learn from our mistakes before they become your pain.If this conversation hits you, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs it, and leave a review so more people can find these stories.

In this episode of SHE Who Dares Wins, Michelle sits back down with Eva – bushcraft instructor, founder of Wilder Horizons CIC, and former contestant on the TV show Alone – to explore what it really looks like to rebuild your life from the ground up.From leaving the NHS and traditional employment, to moving into a caravan, to spending three dark winter months training in North Wales with seven other women, Eva shares a raw, honest look at self-employment, simplicity, female friendship and finding community in the outdoors.If you've ever thought, “I can't do that” or felt left behind because your path doesn't look like everyone else's, this conversation is for you.In This Episode, We Talk AboutDaring to begin (again)Why Eva clung to traditional employment “with her fingernails”The crunch point where she realised she was doing a bad job for everyone – and had to choose herselfWhat the first year of full-time self-employment has really looked like (peaks, troughs and all)Calm over “career safety”How leaving the NHS shifted her day-to-day from constant adrenaline to a calmer nervous systemWhy she now values alignment and mental health over job titles, pensions and sick payCaravan life and living smallMoving from a two-bed flat into a tiny caravan with her partner… just as winter startedJuggling three part-time jobs, 4 a.m. commutes, and wondering, “What have I done?”The unexpected gifts of simple living: fewer bills, more outdoor space and learning what she actually needsStuff, screens and simplifyingLetting go of storage units, “just in case” boxes and the things she didn't miss for a whole yearSwapping infinite Netflix choice for five charity-shop DVDs – and what that taught her about decision fatigue and delayed gratificationLoneliness, lost friendships and starting againThe quiet grief of friendships that fade when you step off the traditional life pathWhy it's so hard to have honest conversations about “what went wrong” in friendshipsFeeling like you're starting from scratch socially when your values and lifestyle changeFinding belonging in the outdoorsThree months in north Wales with the Outward Bound Trust and Berghaus:Living in a shared house with seven womenLong days in the cold and wet, learning navigation, rock skills and paddlingThe deep sense of community that formed from being together 24/7How intense shared experiences fast-track genuine connection and trustWomen-only spaces and why they matterTraining with female instructors and what changed when there were no men in the groupThe difference in energy, competition and confidence in women-only learning spacesWhy Eva chose to keep her bushcraft events women-only after hearing participant feedbackBushcraft as a doorway to courageWatching women come solo to events – sometimes for the first time doing anything just for themselvesHow lighting fires, carving wood and sleeping outside can unlock confidence far beyond the woodsThe ripple effect: course WhatsApp groups, new hiking buddies and women planning their own adventures togetherSafety, responsibility and the outdoor industryThe tension between qualified outdoor professionals and social-media-led “hike meetups”Why qualifications, recces and first aid still matter – even when you “just love hiking”Expansion and what's next for Wilder HorizonsEva's word of the year: ExpansionMoving from “doing everything myself” to hiring a community and adventure managerHer vision for employing and uplifting more women in the outdoor spaceJoin Dare club: www.shewhodareswins.com Hosted on Acast.

Yaya Bushcraft, nuestro nueva 'Miss Experiencia', acaba de publicar 'Vivir sin pedir permiso', donde cuenta su trayectoria vital y nos enseña a construir cabañas con nuestras propias manos. Es muy llamativa su transformación, su cambio de piel: ella, que fue periodista especializada en ciencia y tecnología ha acabado con 71 años en el monte construyendo cabañas para ser autosuficiente. Tiene miles de seguidores en redes, que siguen sus éxitos y fracasos en un mundo que le era ajeno hasta hace bien poco. Yaya, que es una rebelde, demuestra que hay otra forma de vivir y que es posible cumplir pasados los 70 ese sueño infantil de tener tu propia cabaña en el bosque.

In the communications portion of today's show, we discuss shortcomings of some popular but perhaps misguided online communications advice. Next up, we discuss the political impact of disasters. In this case, Winter Storm Fern. The leadership in your area has a massive impact on recovery, and political parties and the urban vs. rural mindset determine your outcome. Last, we discussed tips and lessons learned for power, heat, and staying warm in a prolonged grid down. Many of us prep for a few days to a week in winter storms, but an ice storm combined with terrible leadership could leave you in the cold and dark for weeks at a time.

We're switching things up this week on the Blue Ridge Bonfire! Matt's out of town, so Logan and Rick decided to sit down and talk about our trip down to Georgia Bushcraft — what we saw, who we talked to, and what made the event stand out this year.Instead of doing a traditional recap, we wanted to give you more of a behind-the-scenes look — the drive down, the vendors we met, the gear that caught our attention, and some of the ideas we took away for the next big trip or project.If you're into overlanding, camping, or just hanging out around the fire with good conversation, this one's for you.

Today, Grid Down Comms Up takes the microphone again for another great episode of the Prepping Academy. We do a short after-action report on the Eastern Tennessee Homestead Alliance festival, revisit a few items as we approach the one-year anniversary of the historic disaster caused by Hurricane Helene, and talk about radio and communications interference. We look at the common types of manmade interference and what you can do to ensure you aren't the cause, because making lots of people look for you isn't very gray man. We also discuss what you may want to consider adding to your plans if you experience intentional interference during an emergency. We also listened to an example of interference during my time in Eastern Tennessee with GSM and a much more entertaining example of some amateur operators trolling someone who is causing intentional interference to keep him talking until they locate him. I'll see you on the next episode.  Support the showPlease give us 5 Stars! www.preppingacademy.com Daily deals for preppers, survivalists, off-gridders, homesteaders & everyday Americans.

Grid Down Comms Up dives into the top ten prepping items for a natural disaster. According to NOAA, there were twenty-seven major natural disasters last year. They did 182 billion dollars in damage and caused 568 deaths. Of all the emergencies we prepare for, we are most likely to be caught up in a large-scale natural disaster. Will you be ready if one strikes your area? In today's episode, we look at the last five items on our list: defense, fuel, electricity, mental health, and building materials. We also toss in a bonus item for number eleven. Heavy equipment, while far from essential, is a game-changer if you can access it. If you are lucky enough to own some, keep them in working order and be able to help out. Remember, mental condition is a huge part of survival. If you or someone you know is at risk or experiencing a mental health crisis, reach out for help at the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline dial 988 or visit https://988lifeline.org/. Stay ready and prep on. Patrick" Support the showPlease give us 5 Stars! www.preppingacademy.com Daily deals for preppers, survivalists, off-gridders, homesteaders & everyday Americans.

Send us a textGame shows and survival might seem like an unlikely pairing, but in this special birthday episode for Erik, we combine competitive trivia with life-saving knowledge in our revival of "Geopardy" (with a G, not a J—we're very particular about that).Armed with buzzers and quick reflexes, TJ and Erik face off across six challenging categories: Will You Survive the Podcast, Zombie Knowledge, Urban Survival, The Conjuring, Bushcraft Hacks, and Gear You Forgot. The competition quickly heats up as they dive into questions ranging from easy 200-point softballs to brain-busting 1000-point stumpers.Beyond the laughs and friendly trash talk, this episode actually packs in substantial survival information. Did you know that aluminum foil makes an excellent emergency signaling device? Or that charging cables can be repurposed to create snares in a pinch? How about using lip balm for waterproofing gear? These practical tips emerge alongside zombie trivia and bushcraft techniques as our hosts navigate the increasingly difficult questions.The game reveals both surprising knowledge and amusing gaps in our hosts' expertise. TJ shines in the practical bushcraft questions, while Erik demonstrates unexpected knowledge about horror films. Throughout it all, Alex serves as quizmaster, occasionally bending the rules in the name of entertainment while keeping score of the rapidly changing leaderboard.This episode is just part one of our Geopardy special, with more trivia challenges coming next week. Whether you're here for the competitive banter or the survival tips hidden within each question, you'll walk away entertained and slightly more prepared for whatever apocalyptic scenario might come your way.

In this episode are resources you can use to learn more about building shelters, creating cordage, creating your first everyday carry, foraging for food, elevating that food to cuisine, and the basics of first-aid if you're ever on your own or with a small group far away from a clinic or hospital. These skills also form the basis for building, or rebuilding, our communities in times of decline or disaster.

In this episode of the Hunting Connection Podcast, I'm joined by Matty White from The Journeyman Way—a passionate outdoorsman whose journey into bowhunting and fly fishing has deep roots in a unique upbringing. Matty grew up on a deer farm, giving him early hands-on experience with animal behaviour, seasonal patterns, and the kind of awareness in nature that most hunters spend a lifetime developing.   We dive into how that background laid the foundation for his skills in the bush, especially when it comes to tracking, stalking, and understanding wildlife movement. Matty shares how he got into bowhunting and fly fishing, what keeps him drawn to the challenge and discipline of both, and how these pursuits offer more than just a harvest—they're a way to connect deeply with the land.   But Matty's outdoor journey doesn't stop there. He's also passionate about dog training, photography, bushcraft, and woodcrafting. We chat about how spending time in the bush, learning to work with your hands, and mastering the basics of survival and self-reliance can be just as rewarding as a successful hunt. Whether it's carving a tool, building a campfire shelter, or simply slowing down and observing the world around him, Matty brings a thoughtful and grounded approach to the outdoors.   This episode is full of insight, stories, and shared appreciation for the lifestyle we love. Whether you're into hunting, fishing, bushcraft, dogs, or just hearing from someone who's walking the walk—this one's worth a listen. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the yarn!

Tonight we have a quick episode on some ideas and activities that you can do with the little ones in the woods! Not all kids jump at the idea of going out into the woods to learn and try things, hopefully some of the ideas we talk about tonight will help peak one's curiosity!

In Episode 464 of the Survival Punk Podcast, we're heading deep into the woods — not just to disconnect, but to reconnect with the skills that actually keep you alive when the modern world fails. This one's all about bushcraft — the primitive, hands-on survival skills that still work when the grid goes dark and your fancy gear breaks. "Bushcraft Survival: Primitive Skills for a Modern Collapse | Episode 464" The post Bushcraft Survival: Primitive Skills for a Modern Collapse | Episode 464 appeared first on Survivalpunk.

How do you turn a passion for nature and outdoor skills into a meaningful livelihood? In this episode of The Paul Kirtley Podcast, I'm joined by UK-based bushcraft instructors Jamie Dakota and Adam Logan for a wide-ranging conversation about career paths in bushcraft, building experience, working with others, and the evolving landscape of outdoor education. Whether you're an aspiring instructor or simply curious about how people make bushcraft a way of life, you'll find plenty of insight and inspiration here.

On this week's episode of The Prepping Academy, we welcome a special guest, John Jacob Schmidt, founder of AmRRON, for a discussion on the history of AmRRON and what the future holds. We also discuss his new project, AmRRON Reloaded, and efforts to grow the ranks of individuals capable of effectively communicating in any emergency situation. Remember, the annual AmRRON national grid down communications exercise takes place later in July. It is your opportunity to test your skills and see what information you can receive during the exercise. Remember, if you do not have communications when the balloon goes up, you are just another refugee staring at your dead cell phone, wondering what just happened. Join PrepperNet.Net - https://www.preppernet.netPrepperNet is an organization of like-minded individuals who believe in personal responsibility, individual freedoms and preparing for disasters of all origins.PrepperNet Support the showPlease give us 5 Stars! www.preppingacademy.com Contact us: https://preppingacademy.com/contact/ www.preppernet.net Amazon Store: https://amzn.to/3lheTRTwww.forrestgarvin.com

// Ich liebe Kokosnüsse, und zwar sowohl das Kokosnusswasser (mega erfrischend und gesund) als auch das Fruchtfleisch (egal ob noch weich oder schon reifer und härter). Nun bin ich ja gerade in Costa Rica und habe das Glück, dass hier easy heranzukommen ist an Kokosnüsse – im Supermarkt oder an Straßenständen. Aber die Dinger wachsen hier ja sogar auf den Bäumen! Deshalb wollte ich mir unbedingt selbst eine Kokosnuss von der Palme holen und sie stilgerecht mit der Machete aufschneiden. Ich musste mir also nicht nur die richtige Klettertechnik aneignen, sondern mir auch erstmal ein vernünftiges Werkzeug besorgen. Ob und wie das alles geklappt hat, erfährst du in dieser Folge, inklusive kleinem Macheten-Einmaleins für Bushcraft und Co in Deutschland ... // Mehr zum FREI RAUS Podcast, unter anderem auch die Möglichkeit, dich zum wöchentlich erscheinenden Newsletter anzumelden, findest du unter https://www.christofoerster.com/freiraus // Die Musik-Playlist „FREI RAUS Wanderlust” ist auf Spotify abrufbar. // Coverphoto by Blackforest Collective

In this episode of Grid Down Comms Up on the Prepping Academy, Patrick looks at tactical and team communications and strategic communications in a disaster. Team communications are a simple concept, but become surprisingly complex when users enter the equation. Frequency coordination and interference are a reality of a large-scale disaster scene. We discuss how that impacts operations and how we can avoid some of those issues. Strategic communication is frequently overlooked by the prepping and survival community, usually due to the lone wolf mentality. In a disaster, you aren't going to be the lone wolf; you may even be the voice of your community. Having the skills and tools to quickly and effectively relay the needs of those around you is critical to helping those who are trying to help you. In this episode, we look at some details and facts of communications to support the logistical log train to keep your community going in a disaster.  Join PrepperNet.Net - https://www.preppernet.netPrepperNet is an organization of like-minded individuals who believe in personal responsibility, individual freedoms and preparing for disasters of all origins.PrepperNet Support the showPlease give us 5 Stars! www.preppingacademy.com Contact us: https://preppingacademy.com/contact/ www.preppernet.net Amazon Store: https://amzn.to/3lheTRTwww.forrestgarvin.com

Send us a textFrom concrete jungle to wilderness champion, Joe Robinet's story captivates with its raw honesty and powerful transformation. Our guest shares how a childhood fascination with nature shows like "Grizzly Adams" planted seeds that would eventually grow into a fulfilling career as a bushcraft expert and content creator.Joe's path wasn't straightforward – learning bushcraft skills in a small patch of land between two factories in Windsor before eventually finding his way to northern wilderness. His YouTube journey began organically, uploading videos to prove his skills to an online forum community, never imagining it would become his livelihood. With refreshing candor, Joe dispels the myth that his appearance on History Channel's "Alone" launched his career – in fact, it temporarily derailed it when viewers reacted negatively to him losing his fire.The conversation takes a profound turn as Joe recounts his life-altering dirt bike accident that resulted in a three-week coma and devastating nerve damage to his hand. Doctors prepared his family for the worst, yet Joe defied expectations in his recovery. The emotional weight of this experience permeates his reflections on mortality, family responsibility, and small joys like regaining the ability to peel a banana. "I never thought about how awesome it is that you can use your hands," he shares. "This is what separates us from the animals."Now embracing life's second chance, Joe discusses his passion for canoe tripping, camping with his wilderness-loving dog, and his mission to teach his daughters self-reliance through annual wilderness trips. Looking ahead, he's planning ambitious adventures including a documentary about his comeback journey and potentially a 50-day solo canoe expedition. Through triumph and trauma, Joe's story reminds us that passion, perseverance, and perspective can transform even the darkest moments into opportunities for growth.Want to experience the wilderness through Joe's eyes?

'Creativity needs oxygen just as much as fire does.' What does it take to turn a spark of inspiration into a sustained creative fire? This week's episode is a reflection on the art of making fire, from striking the first spark with flint and steel to nurturing the ember with just the right balance of oxygen and fuel, and how that process sheds light on the creative process. More specifically, it's about the moment I found myself grinning like a loon while holding a flaming bundle of hay on my recent Write it Wild retreat. (Yes, really. Check out the episode artwork.) Discover how permission, preparation, process, and patience all play a role not just in spark-wrangling, but in idea-wrangling too. And we'll talk about the art of holding your nerve when things get smoky.

On this episode of The Prepping Academy, Patrick picks up with a Grid Down Comms Up episode. We begin with a look at the battle rhythm in the first seventy-two hours of the disaster and what that looked like for the people on the outside, who were providing communications support and processing information for those with limited access to reliable information. Next, we look at the fog of war, how that impacted operations from day zero, and how it impacted those in the disaster area, followed by a look at the communications picture inside eastern TN and western NC.   We wrap up with a what-if discussion about how the picture would have looked very different and been much more complex had the Mt Michell amateur radio repeater not been in the picture. This episode illustrates Patick's quote, "Without communication, you are just another person wondering what just happened."  Remember, when the grid goes down, you are on your own, and what you don't know can kill you. Join PrepperNet.Net - https://www.preppernet.netPrepperNet is an organization of like-minded individuals who believe in personal responsibility, individual freedoms and preparing for disasters of all origins.PrepperNet Support the showPlease give us 5 Stars! www.preppingacademy.com Contact us: https://preppingacademy.com/contact/ www.preppernet.net Amazon Store: https://amzn.to/3lheTRTwww.forrestgarvin.com
