In this episode we hear a little bit from my friend Paul Sveum. Paul was my instructor at Jack Mountain Bushcraft School five years ago and has a ton of experience with outdoor living skills, and flyfishing in particular. Paul is a Registered Maine Guide licensed by the state in the recreation and fishing categories. He has guided extended canoeing, backpacking, and snowshoeing trips in Wisconsin, Minnesota, New Hampshire, and Maine in a variety of areas including the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and the Allagash Wilderness Waterway, as well as numerous other locations off the beaten path. He has also guided numerous overnight trips focusing on bushcraft, survival, and local naturalist studies around the South shore of Lake Superior. We had a great chat about ecology, and how learning more about the plant and animal life around you makes you a more effective and aware outdoorsperson. I hope you enjoyed the show as much as we enjoyed recording it.  Full disclosure, Paul and I were joined by his one-and-a-half-year-old daughter for this recording, and she makes a few unexpected appearances.

We're excited about this one. Raife Bowman and I were students together on a spring semester at Jack Mountain Bushcraft School, and have been friends since. Raife is a veteran and highly motivated individual who's been slowly putting together the pieces of a new outdoor school in his home state of Alaska. He got some interesting ideas about building a truly immersive experience, and I personally can't wait to see how they play out. In this episode, we discuss those ideas, talk a lot about avoiding bringing machismo into the outdoors, and tell a few stories about our time together in northern Maine.Check him out at his website, or get in touch through email at Raife@arcticfieldcraft.com. 

Interview with Tim Smith of the Jack Mountain Bushcraft School and Podcast out of Maine, USA. Tim and I talk about some of the underlying educational principles of his long-term wilderness living educational programs, specifically the value of learning by doing and the idea of baseline and how it relates to our ability not only to take care of ourselves in the wild places, but also how it may affect our happiness and ability to live well in the not so wild places. Tim also describes some of the traits he witnesses his student gaining through wilderness living including confidence in their abilities to take care of themselves and a general sense of empowerment.Contact Tim Jack Mountain Bushcraft School WebsiteJMB Instagram PageJMB Facebook PageJack Mountain Bushcraft School Master CalendarBook RecommendationsJack Mountain Bushcraft School Book RecommendationsTribePaul Provencher – The Complete WoodsmanTony Nester's BooksTrue North: A Journey into Unexplored WildernessBraiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of PlantsOverstory: A Novel
