    This is my absolute favourite podcast listened to it all, and several episodes twice. I have learnt so much from it.

    I give out specific episodes out to different friends as gifts, I have a friend (not a bushcrafter) that is into long distance running that got episode 18. Mark Hines

    I have another sailor friend who loved episode 5 with Justine Curgenven. Always well received. Great quality podcast with amazing content- thanks for everything you share Paul.
