  • Bear spray

    Just listening to an older episode with Curtis Matwishyn talking about his run in with a bear and his work as a wildland firefighter. Would love to hear more from him on the subject of fires! What an interesting, eloquent guy!

  • Nice for a change of pace

    I listen to a lot of podcasts, but they are mostly about food and health. An adventure podcast is a nice change of pace. Plus, it's great to hear a Canada-based and -focused podcast. Looking forward to enjoying to more.

    As a sheltered mom with two young girls in the rut of routine in urban life, I desperately want to get out and away and live adventurously - and want my children to want to, as well! But, well ... (insert challenges and excuses). (Insert this podcast.) After listening to the first episode, I was inspired by what it has to offer. I love that it contains practical ideas and specific advice, but I also love that it is presented in such a way as to get me thinking about outdoor adventuring and t... more

  • Great Adventure Podcast

    Podcasts are my new favorite addiction! I’ve only listened to a few episodes but so far so great!

    My favorite thing is when my 5yo son brings up something he heard on the podcast. It always amazes me what sponges kids are and the things they remember 🥰 He recently told his dad about people mountain biking in “Port Pooty” in Canada. It took me a minute but then I remembered and realized he was talking about Port Moody 🤣 I think we’ll be visiting Port Pooty one day!
