Exclusive 124: Weird, Top-Secret Way to Clean Fish. It'll blow your mind!
How to humanely clean fish using a method that is less-common than what many use: The fillet method. No bones! No scales! After three or four times, a person can get very efficient at it. In this exclusive episode, I am showing my 9-year-old daughter - and by extension, you - each step of the process. WARNING: BY NECESSITY, THIS VIDEO CONTAINS GRAPHIC VIDEO OF THE CLEANING OF A FISH.

Podcast 30: Delightfully Absurd 'Bushcraft' Videos. Folks can't get enough of 'em!
This episode dedicated to the memory of Hobo Shoestring, aka Mark Nichols.
The importance of reviews and the stupidity of those leaving them. Three absurd video types the most popular 'bushcrafters' out there are making, and the reasons they are absurd. My favorite people on the internet talking about the same sorts of things I am, my admiration for them, and the reasons why.

A do-it-yourself add-on to make your blankets work even better for you.

Exclusive 120: Wilderness Cooking for Real (The Bushcraft Videos You're Watching are All Lies)
The "bushcraft" videos you're watching are all lies. All of them present the false narrative that the people doing these things are out in wilderness, and they are not. They are in trees - within minutes of their homes, or a parked vehicle. Where did that fresh beef come from? How about the cast-iron skillet? The perfectly crispy vegetables? The intact eggs? The gallon of cooking oil and pound of butter? These things came from refrigerators or coolers carried not very far. In this exclusive video, I not only burst a bunch of people's bubbles, but I also show you the types of foods (dry goods, root vegetables) that do indeed work for real-life bushcraft cooking in real wilderness, for real. Not as glamorous as what you might be used to pressing 'Like' on, but at least I ain't lying to you.

Adventure 14 Part 1: Between Every Two Trees There is a Door
Probably the least glamorous, or exciting part of a trip into backcountry wilderness is the preparation, or the getting started. But the nature of your start often heavily determines the entire rest of the experience. It's important to take your time, make sure you're perfectly oriented. Make sure all of your gear is together and that everything fits and feels comfortable. Only then should you commit to the adventure.
In this adventure, my still-pup Emerson joins me for the first time. Also, my buddy Jeffrey rejoins me after a year-or-so hiatus. The first day is characterized by heavy winds, blue skies, and flowing water, water, water - including some spectacular waterfalls, and one of the finest campsites for the night that I have ever had the pleasure of settling into.

My dog Emerson's first real outing. 'Immediate Necessities' shoulder pouch. The principle of taking important things in threes. How to soak beans on the move. Ingredients vs. Meals. My spice kit.

Exclusive 119: What Packing for the Woods Really Looks Like
I turned on some cameras then absorbed myself with packing for a weeklong trip into the backcountry. Simple method for dressing up a cheap Amazon fleece jacket. A video primarily intended to capture the true nature of trying to plan and pack for traveling in woods on foot over multiple days and nights when the weather is especially unpredictable. My interest is in traveling as light as possible, while at the same time having the necessary gear for enjoying the woods fully and getting to do some special things while I'm out there.

Podcast 27: Planning Mobility into Your Preparedness: Tarps, Tents, Shelters
Anybody giving you the idea that you’re going to be able to build a play fort in the woods and just stay there for an extended time in an emergency is ridiculous. Real survival and preparedness inherently involves a mentality of staying mobile, travel on foot, and carrying necessities on your back. In this episode, I talk about the pros and cons of different types of tents, tarps, shelters, and particularly teepee-style, floorless, tarp shelters.

Exclusive 118: Featherstone UL Obsidian 1P Tent
The Featherstone Ultralight Obsidian 1 Person Tent. You're welcome... It's darn near impossible to find any good videos or pictures of this tent online. This video solves that problem. I take my good ol' time sharing this tent with you during my very first time setting it up, and I give you my honest, initial impressions. Featherstone needs to reward me somehow: Perhaps with a backrub or a weekend in the Bahamas.

Exclusive 117: Insane Quality Budget Backpacking Tent: Idoogen 2P
Meet the Idoogen 2P Backpacking Tent available on Amazon. It's the same design made popular by the MSR Hubba Hubba 2P Backpacking Tent, with comparable quality and weight, for a fraction of the cost. This Idoogen version will be competing with another budget Amazon tent, the Featherstone 2p Backpacking Tent. While I can't speak with any authority about the Featherstone, I'm pretty confident when I say there's no way it's of superior quality to this Idoogen. Also, I believe the Idoogen tent has a better look overall due to a more handsome color scheme. Overall, this tent has been a very, very pleasant surprise. While uploading this video, I noticed the price for the Idoogen has dropped to be practically equal to that of the Featherstone version.

Exclusive 116: Six Cool Secret Things for the Woods
There are probably more than six cool secret things for the woods that I share here to be honest, darn my humility. Yerba Mate as a wonderful drink for the backcountry. Silicone is quickly becoming one of my favorite things for carrying certain foods in the woods. Specific walkie talkies and my experience testing them. Containers, Gadgets and Doodads. Tin containers, 1 oz containers for spices and liquids. Baking Soda and kerchiefs are must haves in the woods. My new Boundless Voyage titanium kettle. Soups and stews in the woods. My new woodsman ladle and my plans for it.

Exclusive 114: Best Woodsman “Coffee” in the World
Palaver with me while I grind and brew up a cup of woodsman "coffee" from acorns. We'll discuss several interesting, informal topics along the way like the end of the year, ninjas, some of my intentions later this year, The Diarrhears and how tannins aren't the end of the world that they think they are. Challenges in the backcountry are wonderful, it's when everything goes without any problems whatsoever that you're being robbed. Wind is the worst element to deal with in the backcountry.

Podcast 23: When You’re Sick & Alone in Winter Woods
Coming down with the flu is rough when you're at home and have all comforts within easy reach. What about when you're alone, thirty miles in the backcountry, in the wintertime? What to do then? In this episode I talk about strategies to adopt in case this were ever to happen to you. I also discuss a list of items that would be in your best interests to carry with you, if not all the time, at least in the colder months.
