Face to face with danger The fear of being bitten by a snake is quite often cited as being the reason for many people not wanting to venture into the wilderness and explore. More often than not, we have made our minds polluted in a sense in regards to understanding snakes, their habits and most importantly, their motives. Too many fables, tall stories and misconceptions […]
Bridging the culture gap It’s not often you have the opportunity to talk to a person as unique as Dwayne Bannon-Harrison, and I mean that from both a cultural and spiritual perspective. Dwayne’s heritage (his mother is of Irish decent and his father was an Indigenous Australian) sees him, as he would say, with one foot in the world of Australian Indigenous culture and the […]
The fight to protect wildlife When you talk to John Garcia, Navy veteran and founder of soldiersforwildlife.org, it doesn’t take long to realise that you are talking to a guy who has literally put aside everything in his life to focus on a single goal; protecting the endangered animals of Africa. Those animals include the Rhinos and Elephants illegally hunted and poached for their horns, […]

We gave you all the answers you did (and perhaps didn’t) want to hear Our first live Q&A session certainly tested our nerves in a completely unknown format to us. We really enjoyed the interactivity that it provided and also the discussions that it created among the viewers. We were asked about many aspects of our hiking, upcoming plans to hike, fitness, trail food and […]
Positive listening for covid-19 I’d say right about now we could all use some positive vibes. That’s why we made the decision to get back into the studio and get this episode recorded. We’ve stacked it with feel-good outdoor and adventure stories and news to fill your ears. You’ll even come out of it with a solid watching and reading list to keep you occupied. […]
What a fantastic year it was We’ve climbed mountains, hiked through the wilderness and ran along deserted trails but when we weren’t doing that we were bringing you the best podcast we could put together. Reviewing the year was as fun as I thought it would be and so much gold resurfaced that we had forgotten about. We really enjoyed putting this episode together and […]
One year – no matches Claire Dunn – Author of My Year Without Matches – image credit: Australian Geographic After discovering Claire’s book ‘My Year Without Matches’ online I immediately began to dig a little deeper to find out what this author was all about. Spending a year in the Australian bush in no mean feat and the idea itself immediately captivated me. It didn’t […]
Hiking and outdoor adventure news! This episode is certainly something different for us. After a guest had to postpone our interview we decided to get creative.

If grumpy frogs, buried treasure and summiting peaks […]
